ok thought i might as well jsut make myself a topic and just ask for help in one topic instaead of amking like 100 of them with simple sill y question.

how would i make a circle ? so far what i have been doing to make a circle is making a brush and then make it a cone patch and flattening it as much as i can BUT there is only a texture on the outside and not the inside so what i have been doing is making two of them and placing them togather. is there a better way ?

Making a circle is fairly easy.

First make a square brush the same size you want your circle to be. Then, while having the brush selected, go to the 'Brush' menu and select the number of sides you want. If you want more than 9 sides, choose 'Arbitrary Sided' and input the number of sides.

The circle will act like any other brush, and you can texture any or all sides of it. You may have to fiddle around with the size of the circle, because it will be a little bigger than the original square that you made.

cool ty

When you make GSC files do you need to make a seperate one for everything like sound,fire,ETC or can you make one gcs file with everything on it?

You can make one with everything in it. However, most mappers make a seperate fx .gsc file because it's a bit easier to alter stuff that way. You're not scrolling through a giant .gsc file in search for one specific effect.

ok thats good to know, wasnt really sure so far the gsc file is alittle tricky, no treally sure if i can convert them correctly i opened up another maps gcs file and just edited theres. cant do fire for crap i am doign somethign wrong. also when u make a custom texture for your map all you have to do is add a texture folder and then make it pk3 and everythign should work right??? right ? lol
