New Maps / Re: the system cannot find the file specified

« on: July 21, 2013, 02:26:09 PM »

man, does nobody bother read the compile log?
"HashVec: point outside valid range"


 the system cannot find the file specified - 99% of the time means the compile crashes

as for that specific bug, like you said somethings outside of the grid in hammer. normally happens because of an entity origin

« on: July 21, 2013, 02:25:10 PM »

and i don't believe you can make it non solid, unless you compile it as a prop (but i'm not 100& sure)

there's some displacement option to make it non solid actually

Uh, check the map is actually compiling and its not just loading an older version. Other than that, idk a proper way to fix it. I'd have to just mess around with it.

the whole "sky brush" should be textured with the skybox2d texture, and not just the face players will see.

at least that's how i think it should, correct me if i'm wrong

It doesn't matter at all

Ok this thread is way over complicating things. BuildVisLeafs:       0...1...2...3...4...

So its crashing on BuildVisLeafs. Every mapper will have this problem at some point, simply means theres too much lightmap data, so you have to reduce the lightmap resolution on brushes.


Just select all geometry, open the face edit sheet, change the lightmap data from 16 to 20/22/24, what ever gets it to work.




Edit: Reading the compile log is much better than the interlopers compile error checker, i find its a waste of time using it.

Edit edit: Plez add me for any hammer-ing questions

New Maps / Re: Hide what's behind a Skybox Brush?

« on: June 15, 2013, 01:29:02 PM »

Like afterglow said, yeah you can use hint brushes/areaportals to prevent the visleafs behind the skybox from drawing

How can i get fire (For a torch) (Tried env_fire and its not working for some reason)

env_fire is a hl2 thing. use an info_particle_system. like dias said best to copy from a map that has it.

And how can i get glowing blocks? Like some medium-light attached to an block?

use a light material, just search the mat browser and theres a few. using a lot of these can cause vrad to slow right down though

I couldn't help but notice in the members listing page you can directly see everyone's email addresses. Don't know if this is cause I'm an admin on here or something.
