i don't know if anybody's posted this or not. i was wondering when making a single player map how do you make it so you have a hud and can switch weapons and all that good stuff like the regular single player maps? cus i can't seem to get it to do so.

thanks for all the help...

I don’t map for sp but I can think of if you did not put an item_suit in and some weapons then you would not see the hud like you want.

yep, you have to place an item_suit. you can place it right over the playerstart, so when the map begins the player start with the suit allready on. or you can place it somewhere in your map, when the player touches the suit than you will see the player puting it on. from than you see the hud, weapons health etc. be sure that you never place the suit on the ground but let it flow a bit above it, otherwise it some times can happen that you can't pick the suit on.

succes,

thanks on the help with the hud, it worked, i didn't understand that tutorial they had to i reread it a couple times and figure out the problem. i've been busy with school and my parents are strict so it's taken me a while to get back. now if anyboxy could help me with the thing getting the map on the newgame screen that'd be great. if not that's fine, i'll figure a way around it.

maybe it was a bit quiet here on this forum, but now the holidays are over again and it will get (a little bit) bussier. so you can always expect help here. i'm not sure what you mean whit getting the map on a New Game Screen? do you mean that you want to display a text of some sort when the map starts?
please explane it a bit better.

by the way, good to see a new person that have decided to make a sp map instead of a mp or CS map. we are very interested in your work and maybe you can show allready some screens?

yeah, this is real good place. what i meant by that getting the maps on the new game screen like... when you play half life 2 single player. and you hit new game, and you can select threw those chapters. well, i was wondering how i can get chapters up there. or if any of you guys have played garry's mod (real fun) and you click start single player and you see like 2 garry's mod maps, then all the half life 2 chapters, then all the counter-strike maps. then all the half life 2 multiplayer maps. oh and that mod i'm working on, nothing special, it was kind of a just a bunch of missions, i was going to have them get like... really weird environments and name the mod gordons nightmare if i could get it running right. and i have mapped for CSS made one map, kind of straight forward, good for a little sniping, alot of prefiring from spawns. took me lil over 10 hours, then i started a map my brother had an idea for, after that i'm going to update that first map, maybe i'll post both them here when i'm done if anybody is interested.

what you're asking has indead more with modding to do than mapping. and from modding i don't know all that much, i'm more a mapper. but maybe J4FSwampyG does know the answer?
