textures! Valve's Source : HL2 Mapping There is a very nice tool at THIS site which will generate bump map normals for you. *Note you will need to register on that site to download it, and its basically a script for Adobe Photoshop CS, so youll need that as well....

textures! Valve's Source : HL2 Mapping hehe np ... I hope they look as nice as the stock HL2 textures The next thing you could look at is to create "normals" for your textures which give them a real 3d quality as it brings out the cracks and bumps in your textures....

walls, light and caulking.. Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping hmmm... When you trace the leak, does the red line run straight through the centre of one of those caulked brushes?... [more]	22	1646	Mar 8, 2005 10:37 am by bollockchops
walls, light and caulking.. Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping Yes the problem will only occur if the caulk is inside your map (ie. in visible area), caulk on the oustside is fine. You couldnt for example seal a map with a giant hollow caulk box, but if the inside of that box was textured with something solid, it ... [more]	22	1646	Mar 7, 2005 06:57 pm by bollockchops
church steeple Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping One way is to first make a square brush, and stretch it so its the right height for your finished steeple. Then looking at your steeple from above, use the vertex manipulation tool to drag each of the four sides into the middle to make a point. I thin... [more]	3	1556	Mar 7, 2005 06:34 pm by bollockchops
textures! Valve's Source : HL2 Mapping Theres a program called Texgen that will create the vmt files for you, but you'll probably need to manually edit most if not all of them to customise the properties afterwards, as texgen uses the same template for each one. Either that, or you could spli... [more]	11	1626	Mar 7, 2005 06:21 pm by bollockchops
textures! Valve's Source : HL2 Mapping ok, first you need to convert them into .tga format. I use a program called Irfanview, its free and it supports batch conversion so you can do all 2000 in one go. Once you've got all your tga files, they need to be converted (again) into the format th... [more]	11	1626	Mar 6, 2005 10:45 am by bollockchops

caulk texture = improvement? Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping Yes, caulk ALL sides that the player cant see. Some people suggest you make everything from caulk first, to get the layout of your map, and then go round texturing the visible faces. As a general rule: the more caulked faces the better ...

need help with prop_physics rendering Valve's Source : HL2 Mapping Maybe some of the models you are using are not designed to be used as prop_physics... Do they get rendered if you change them into a prop_static? To save some time I've been making my own prefabs...just simple stuff like a prop_physics_multplayer entit...

Attention Foyleman! Valve's Source : HL2 Mapping For making things to the right scale you can browse the textures in Hammer, and type "dev" in the filter box - Theres a load of orange textures with measurements/markers for player height, normal wall height, crates etc etc... Could be useful ... [more]	25	2341	Dec 23, 2004 06:16 pm by bollockchops

Making terrain from alphamap Valve's Source : HL2 Mapping Anyone know some good software/plugins for making some terrain from a heightmap .bmp ? Is Easygen the best and most compatible one to use with Hammer? I need to get the terrain in the form of a displacement brush so that I can 'paint' it in Hammer u...

Alpha masking Valve's Source : HL2 Mapping Im trying to make some realistic terrain using the blend textures and alpha masking on a displacement surface. All looks fine in hammer, (I can see the patches of rock/grass where I used the "paint alpha" option).. It seems to run through the compile... [more]	6	1399	Dec 10, 2004 08:09 pm by bollockchops
How do i add models in my CS Source map? Valve's Source : HL2 Mapping If anyone else has the same problem i was having.... You dont need to build the crates from scratch... Instead of making the crates from textured brushes, there are already models for crates you can add using the entity tool. Add the entity prop_physi...

CSS Finca Valve's Source : HL2 Mapping I'm new to Hammer as well but yes I think its the same principle. I'd be very interested in seeing your finca map on the source engine. (I was thinking of making a nice mp_jor1 out of the dust textures ) The ultimate goal (for me) would be to mod t... [more]	3	1660	Nov 28, 2004 06:32 pm by bollockchops
How do i add models in my CS Source map? Valve's Source : HL2 Mapping I made a pyramid of wooden crates to test out the prop_physics entity. (Made them from textured brushes and then CTRL-T to tie them to a prop_physics_multiplayer then edit the properties). They break when you shoot them and react to each other in game...
