mkay, ill try to google those and try something.

i use Hammer editor, and ZHLT Compiling tools

nice

if you place a hive with the Entiny tool, is it ingame sice? as the alien res?

soon i got to make the readyroom and place rez nozzles -_-
but first the enjoyable mapmaking!


would luv to have somone that know hammer editor well in the irc channel ;S
that i can terrorize with noobish questions :twisted:

if u place 3 hives in the map deafault is that 1 hive is done ingame and rest undone, the same with rts, first 1 is marine, second is alien and rest empty

get in irc ;D

gamesurge or quakenet network

(btw is reading some stuff at ChromeAngel, mapping guide ;D)

and!!

im making some progress ;D
and im firering off a newb question. howto export to .bsp ?
need to test

to make a .bsp (the file that needed to play map) u must compile the map first, use batchcompiler tools and check this website http://articles.thewavelength.net/section/31/ before you post any more and check this map http://www.fire-bursts.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=827 (my very first map) its a very basic map, maybe you can get a few hints from there

ah, thanks. since when i try to make it to a bsp in hammer it whines about that im missing a wad file that dosent exist. perhaps with this batch compiler the problem goes away. I had some problems with leaks on the map, but ive fixed that too.

And one more thing. In the RR, do you have muliple "info_join_team" next to eachother? and same with random team thingie.

as i said before, check the website, almost everything stands there and the problem with wadfile not exist, try remove them and add them again, has worked for me
