I Need Help!

<div class="IPBDescription">I need help with "Valve Hammer"</div> I am a newbie to mapping with "Valve Hammer", but I'm a quick learner...
The problem i have is the etentities, when i create a etentity, and go on the "properties" (here is the big problem): I need the <b>info_join_team</b> but it doesnt appear on my list, neither does the <b>info_spectates</b> and <b>info_join_autoassign</b>...
I have fixed the setup completly, i have also activated the ns.fgd, can someone help me?
hehe, funny "smileys

The entities you mention are brush-based entities, so you will have to make a brush and change it into a entity, then select it, then right click on it, and put tie to entity, and voila there it is <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> Hope this helps.

Yhey are not in alphabetical order you have to go allmost to the bottom of the list. Oh are you not making brush entitys? Make a box then right click and tie to entity and it will do what you want.

You've passed a compile tool the name of the BSP instead of the MAP it was expecting.

Ter3 · June 2003

eh.... what??
i would like a example how to solve this...

Gimpy_Doodly_Doo · June 2003

Are you using a batch compiler? If so I think he means that instead of specifing the rmf file you specified the already compiled bsb file.

Ter3 · June 2003

errr..... i still dont get it!?!??

RPG_Jssmfulhud · June 2003

If you are using some other compiler than the one, that is provided with Worldcraft, you must specify the map.rmf.

When you save a map in Worldcraft, it saves it as a RMF format. In your case test.RMF.
A compiled map is test.BSP

So, the problem occurs, when you point the compile tools to the BSP, instead of the RMF.

Ter3 · June 2003

This is what i do:
I run in normal mode, no additional game parameters
I use CSG/BSP/RAD/VIS tools downloaded from Zoner HalfLife Tools
i run all of the CSG/BSP/RAD/VIS on normal mode
i run the file test.rmf
CONGRATULATIONS! I HAVE A ERROR!!!

Shadowics · June 2003

The RAD program relies on the visiblity data from the VIS program, without the VIS done first it would only do direct lighting. I'm not sure if running VIS afterwards would cause a problem, but the order should be CSG-BSP-VIS-RAD.

I'm guessing you mean you get that error when trying to load the map in NS. Can you post a compile log? That would probably help find the source of the problem.

the error is selfexplaining, isnt it? the wad you have defined in the options coulndt be found in the gamedir. or you messed up the paths. btw: I really dont think that you need all the wads. keep in mind that as more wads are defined the more wads have to be loaded starting the map. when starting for ns the ns.wad ist enough for the first try. but if you have such big problems with the basiscs you should read all tutorial you can find. and I suggest starting with some simple stuff and not ns with its semipro mapping style and its pretty complex style.
good source for future errors would be this:

<a href='http://vibrants.dk/jchq/faq/errors.htm' target='_blank'>http://vibrants.dk/jchq/faq/errors.htm</a>

a lot of errors and their explanation.
