help me

Hello all. So I got back into Hammer a little bit (use Hammer ++ for this). I want to create a map where the drowning damage stays away from the water, that you can stay underwater infinitely long. I first used Trigger_Hurt for this, which is satisfactory but not perfect, as the player still...

I were making map for more than week to participate in upcoming contest. Finished on 40%. Due my unorganazing didn't create copies of versions. There is no auto saves and vmx is also empty. But the file size is sill there. Can somebody help me to some how restore, open or extract map from...

ColdLine is a king of the hill map made especially for christmas, containing 3 routes to get to the point, at the point features a sneaky path under the bridge with a medium health pack Thanks for all feedback. steam workshop gamebanana

I really would like some maps based around looking good or just made to be explored and fit the TF2 artstyle but all I can find are trade and Gmod maps that don't fit the artstyle. Does anyone know some good, quality maps that fit this?

I spawned in a heap of new props in my newest hammer session, and ran the map to test...the props weren't there. I also removed some props and edited and vehicle's movement path, that didn't work in game either. I ran it again, still no props. I checked if the props were all prop_static, they...

I started using Compile Pal because I needed to pack some custom assets into my map. Whenever I do a fast compile the lighting seems to work just fine, but when I do a publish compile it's all fullbright despite having a light_environment and multiple regular lights. Here's my compile log...

I want my next mapping endeavor to evolve for more people than just myself, meaning I wanted to do a non ordinary map idea, a cool and interesting theme, and tackle a problem facing tf2, so I decided I wanted to fix territorial control... sounds daunting THINGS I WANTED TO KEEP -only 2...

As in, the buttons in the top left corner that quickly change grid sizes. Is there any way for me to get them back? I am aware that you can change grid size in the "map" menu, but that is arduous when you need to change sizes on the fly.

As said in the title, I started early (I was allowed to, ask Viod) and I want to post my work on the website but I dont know where to post it, please help me!

(I am completely new to this, and have absolutely no experience in map making whatsoever. Please disregard anything stupid I say.) So, I made a block, chose a texture, and hit enter. The block did not get a new texture, it just went from a blue frame to yellow. help

Hello again. I've recently started to use compile pal with my smaller mapping projects, and it's really quite something. Now that I've gotten it to pack custom content automatically, it's glorious. However, there's a pretty glaring issue I'm having with it so far that prevents me from using it...

It seems I can almost never get any displacements I touch to sew. The command might as well be magic to me. Even worse, at the moment I'm in a tight spot. I've got this panel on my zeppelin that refuses to join with its neighbors. If it can't be joined, I might as well just delete most of the...

Right then. I'm making a TF2-detailed zeppelin map (probably for SFM or gmod use) and I'm using the large airship from the Frontline Asset pack as a reference for the hull shape. I'm giving it a full interior with as much detail as possible, so just using the model isn't an option. I need to...

"0...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9.Error! Too many detail props emitted on this map! (64K max!)n" i think this mai error 1."Too many detail props emitted on this map! (64K max!)n" this alert mean 'you must have under 64000 detail props' right? 2."prop_detail" add on that count?

Greetings! I'm finishing my map, cp_chateau_event, a halloween variant of cp_steel. Go ahead and have a gander at it. It's just about done, and I would like to submit it for testing soon, but there are two things I'd like to clear up first. 1. Am I allowed to call it cp_chateau_event, or...

all water brushes that touch others make them invisible unless under water. I did make a cube map because underwater is a missing texture which i didn't like. I had also made a water.lod.control but kept everything default. Now my map looks like crap because of this ;/ any help would be...
