Im doing allright I guess in my CS:S mapping, see my very first project, the Ammo Factory, still very n00bish though .
But there is one thing I just cant work out.
Let say I create a room, hollow it out, ungroup it and apply the texture, is there any way so that I can divide the wall up in different "sections" so I can texture the wall differently cause right now my whole was is just 1 big same texture :)

Thx in advance, and greetz

i havent played too much around with the new version of hammer, but if its anything like the old - and like most other level editors out there - you wont be able to apply two textures to one brush.

youll need another to create another brush with the second texture and insert it into the place you want the texture change to occur.

Thanks, thats what I was afraid of

If anyone else knows another way please do tell me

Thx anyway DEATHGIGAS

There are two other ways i can think of right now.

The first is to use a decal that covers the entire wall, im just not sure if the decal texture selection will allow you to pick the texture you might ideally want. the problem is that youre still using another brush, even if it is a decal\detail one.

the second is a bit tougher. take the two textures you want and combine them into one in photoshop. i just dont know how youre going to get them into CS's material system. I halvent seen any tut's on creating custom textures for HL2/CS.

sorry, just a little add-on to that.

for tutorials, check out www.snarkpit.net and www.interlopers.net.

i saw something on texturing there but never read through it. maybe therell be something of use.

Thanks dude, ill try and work it out.

BTW: When I place some prop_static or prop_dynamic entities in my level they just dont show up. They dont conflict with any other objects and all come from the props_c17 folder.

And can I use the other models as well or am I limited to the props_c17 folder??

I think ive seen that problem answered already somewhere on the forum.

cant answer too much about using the props since i havent made use of them myself yet.

most of the times a prop_static is used for models that can't be moved around, and the prop_pshycics is used for things the player can move around, (like a barrel, junk, some furniture). the best thing to do is by just testing it. when you don't see the model the chanse is big you have to use the other prop_. also can you read your compile log.txt, in there it says when a prop_ is wrong used and what kind of prop_ you have to use in stead.

succes,
