hello, just incase if anyones having the toolappid problem ,here's 2 solutions wich usualy solve the problem:

one:
go to and add "-beta sdk" without the quotes in the command line.

two:
open your gameconfig.txt ( gameinfo.txt file? ) file and edit the line with "ToolAppID ..." to just "AppID ..." this is NOT the SteamAppID line, it's alomost at the verry top of the file , you cant miss it :)


hope this solves any of your problems concerning this problem, it had me stuck for 2 days ( beeing to stuborn to google for an answer... )

well ur the brain behind mcdiddies ( or so i'm lead to beleive :) ) so i think you deserve as much credit as the leve ldesigner :) as yo

that sounds like good ol escape maps, great idea :) hope it all works out, sounds like much fun to play :)

thanks alot superjer, alot of good clear answers there, i think i shoudl start a notebook for my level design ideas, and maybe even for my newbish programming ( just started investing in vc++ this xmas )

also i'll try to get some texturing done, realy something 've wanted to learn for a long time ,but there's simple no explenation to be found via google as far as i know.

thanks a bunch :)

P.S.
can't wait till ur new map, if it's as good as the otheres i'll sure have fun playing it as i did with the otheres. :)

add sprites in your gfx folder in cstrike ( or is there a sprites folder? ) make a filder in that folder iwht ur map name to keep em seperate, then make a .res file pointing to them so people will actually dl and see them in your map when they join a server.


1. no idea how to do this.. sounds useless anyway.

2. you need to trigger the game text by a buttron or other triggering entity.

3. make it a func wall, set the render mode to solid and the fx amout to 256 ( the highest value )

4. you need to extract the textures out of the bsp. with a seperate program or re-texture the map with excisting wad files found at csbanana.com , if you CAN'T texture the map then it's a bad .map file -_- i always choose to not decompile a map but re-make, it;s more fun, you learn more from it and it give it your own finishing touch, just raping someon elses map by copying it exactly and adding srpites is just not the way to go imo.


good luck -_-

i know how to makes wads, just the images that are actualy the textures.

sure this won't stop yee from making a ncie map yourslef :) make sure you credit superjer for the theme ect , mebby pimp his site on some texture or w/e.

entities can not be textured, you ned to make a floor block instead of the trigger hurt and make a tigger hurt block just above the ground, so it's not the floor hurtng you but the trigger just above it ( like 1 or 2 units i usualy do )

the only entities i'm aware of that will show ingame are func_walls and water entities., atleast the yare the ones that come to midn now, triggers can never be seen in the map, you make the architecture and place triggers over it so if the architecture is hit you wil trigger the trigger.

make sure you use the AAA texture or for hammer 4 the dev tools trigger texture so you can se clearly what your entities are.

hey, getting a bit mroe into flash lateley made this thingy frame by frame, going to right way or not? any pointers or w/e would be nice :P

eddie murphy, i'm Racer - X , had a metamorphosis or w/e it's called in this language :)

wowowwho woke up from the stoneage , welcome to the metal age!

tabbed the song DGGTM out last night ( or atleast i thin kthat's how the songs called ) , such a cool band :)

you won't get holland, but whoowuldwant holland,youcould build it into a big prison

hello, got soem quests, not realy hammer specific some but here they go:

do you make your own texturessueprjer, if yes, do you know any tutorials on how to do it?

do you draw out your maps or is it more of just gettign a general idea and mapping your way through?

if you don't make your own textures and models, where do you get them? i tried sites like wadfather but it always seems to have more quakeish textures etc.

thanks in advance :) i need to pick up my hammer again! it's been too damned long!

lolthats ace hehe :) nice one

version 8 is what i had, i can't be bothered with illigal stuff whe ni have a working version at home hehe, and i need to learn basics first :) basics arep robarbly thesame inh most versions

genious, no doubt about it.... ^_-

first day of school i use superjers site to get throug hthe day, usualy i do also on the next days but monday.... *shivers*

aww man that sucks i once lost a hl map of mine wich was about 6 months worth of work so i probarbly have an idea how you feel :(

very unfortunate indeed, let's hope it won't happen n your next project.

good luck n all

sure, it'll be gp5 and gp4 formated for now and i'll see if i can slap em in powertab and some normal tab sheets :) it'll take a while though as it's quite a long song and i'm not the greatest transcriberon the planet :)

I'm at bar 9 at the moment, so that means i've got 2 out of 16 paterns done for the guitar 1 2 and bass lines, i'll do the drums later as it's distracting when checking for faults :)

heres a wee question:

i made a button, with a mouse over clip effect, but when i take the mouse of it "snaps" back to up position, is there a way to make it a smooth transition? ( well i know there is but how? :D )

thanks tater!

yeh, bit of a fague truckname i know, but here's the maybe more clear contents...

I downloaded modplug and your irrational chiptune IT file ( brilliant song i must add ).
I am trying to convert it into guitar pro 5 file as to tab it out for guitar bass and drums.

I was wondering if i am allowed to do this, i mean, i've already set up all the credits etc. and pimped ur site in the tab but i just wanted to ask before i spend alot of time figureing out the correct notes etc.

hope i'm allowed to make this less-shabby 'rock' cover rape out of this 8-bit chiptune :)

thanks in advance

boohoo i'm not european but dutch, is that better or worse?

:D

/me drowns himself in fucking french fucking cheese

i can pinch people and hide brie in their cupboards to make them go mad of smells!!

ooh that .net site is so ghey my 3 year old metaly unstable sister could make a better one -_-

what's the plan of attack!

yeh but it's not easy to make the textures in photoshop :(

damn :(

i do try to piss you off, do you like me then?

i choose the loosing teams as i play low skill servers and so might have a chance of a litle resistance usualy... but whatever floats your boat is fine by me :)

P.S.
there's not many skilled sevrers in EU , is there in US?

wow we should make a hl mod of that! xD it's so....mysterios...

I'm in a dilema here, T has mac 10 BUT ct has TMP , i just can't choose witch is better :(

I'd say both are just as good and i choose depending on the map and winning team, usualy just end up doing auto select as it doesn't realy matter for me as the only guns i use are deagles and smgs

Or just get ( like me ) some slaves in the basement writing you devilish programs and websites everyday.

ehm, now your calling us morons.... you know bad things could happen when you do that ( they might not , and i guess bad things could always happen but anyway WRAH! ).

hey, that works like a charm :D

you could make a func_rotating or func_door_rotating to make the world / floor or whatever spin around.

xD

Thanks alot :D , now i just need to code the rest xD ( witch will no doubt take AAAGES :D )

surely there's just a code for it, not some site :(

hey, i'm guessing you used php or something to do it but what is the code for it ( speaking about that line that changes on refreshing in the banner like "fidn the pancake and win a cloud" ;)

thanks alot in advance, i might add somethign liek that to my webby ( yer yer making one too and no it will not be better than this one bladibla )

hey, i was wondering where to get good cs textures, i'm currently just working with the halflife.wad as most cs wads just have so litle to offer.

Is there anyone here that knows a good source for high details urban / industrial textures.

And does anyone know of any tutorials teaching the art of texture creation, as it'd be pretty neat to make them or edit them myself.

P R O P E R ( isn't it double p.. aww hell what do i know.. )

it is for css -_- there is no way you can do that much bumpmapping and such lighting in hl1 ( well not to my knowleage :D )

hans blix? ( i don't knowany hanses... :D )

lucky you :D i'm still saving up ( will probarbly be doing that till eternaty but it's a thought :P )

Looks pretty neat, i like the atmosphere of the map, it defenatly fits the surroundings.

You might want to looks at making a 3d skybox, but as it's a fun map that's not verry neccesary, it just looks cool :D

Can't wait till my new pc arrives, then i can see bumpmapping in-game too :P

Anyone want to see some fresh tutorials , i could write some for this site if you guys want them and are too lazy or want to see me slave my lazy bum of.

Aaaaanywaay, if you guys want to learn how to use hammer or want me to slave my bum of, request a tutorial here .in this truck, I'm no pro whatsoever but i have a good basic understanding on Hammer and I have had just about every possible error ( yer i'm THAT good :P ) so i can often help people overcome their misery. ( well that's what i think but i'm a cocky guy.. )

can't you make newgrounds link to your site?

anyway, mcdiddys 2 was a bit less BUT that doesn't mean it wasn't good, it was just a bit slower and less filled with random crazyness than 1,
but i guess that's just something i like, i like silly humor and almost chaotic crazyness, like i DID realy enjoy the "what happened in mc diddys 1 before 2 started" thing with spaceman etc. :)

but you should realy go by your own opinion as you are making the movies and everyone will have a bit of a different taste anyway :)

i used to play seriously, realized i was shit at it so now i play better un seriously ( still shit!), but i could try and help if you play in EU servers ( if u play us u'll play when i sleep or imagine myself sleeping ... )

Also it's good thing to remember how anoying it might seem, don't set your mouse sens to high, i used to do that, it looks like you kill faster and better but with a slow mouse your acc. is much much better, some thing i've learnt over the years is also how to "aim 'n' strafe" so you bnever are a still target, if you want to stand still DO NOT DUCK, as it makes your head bigger compared to the rest of your bodymass.

play alot and get skill is a fact too, just play play play , but i suggest u just play for fun as it's much less frustrating and way more fun :)


hope this helps you a bit, good luck

hey,
i was wondering if anyone here maybe has an ftp acces or anything like that i could use so i can secure my maps on it, i lost all of my work for the 5th time now and i thought this miht be a solution while i wait for the new pc i'm hoping to get.

This pc is dying on me now so every month or so it needs formatting to keep it breathing.

Thansk in advance for any replies , solutions and offers

Correction, alot of people know him.

If you want to help super jer make your map, try drawing a nice detailed design for your map, that makes it much much easier :)

also try sending him a bunch of design notes and specific objects , places etc. you want in your map.

While he's making a map you could ofcourse try learning to do it yourself of you want :) it's nice and addictive ^^

just post an questions you have about mapping ( if you're going to learn it ) here and i'm sure some of us can help you along the way.

Hit alt+p in hammer?
Did you do that and press fix all??

That sometimes makes brushes endlesly long, zoom all the way out and see if you have any brushes streching of the grid as that is supposed to be it with this error, if not i don't know :)

Good luck, these kind of errors smell
