This should go in everyone's maps that they always have open, alongside the prop library.

Well, it's not like you need it all the time... I was actually considering making it part of the prop library and turning it into an "everything" library, but then I figured it's more of a one-time-per-map library.

 

[VelvetFistIronGlove]

Excellent stuff! Can't thank you enough for this, as I find setting up the game logic entities properly to be a very tedious and easily overlooked part of the map setup, so this will save me much worry.

Mad Props

Awesome, dude. Downloading now.

 

[Owlruler]

<3, thank you boojum, so much...

 

[kwagner]

Those payload sections are going to come in handy when I get around to doing a map using those. Thanks!

 

[Domino]

Very good thank you, now I can see where my errors in testing were and helped me get it right!

 

[Shadow Monkey]

I love you! You are my hero!

 

[bomc]

Woooowowow, first the prop libary, and now this? Üüüüüuuuber niiice :=), and very, very useful

 

[medd]

Amazingly helpful/convenient/efficient!!

 

[Mashi]

This is sure to help me in the near future so thanks

Is single flag CTF the one you used, and/or complicated enough to warrant being in there separately?

 

[A Boojum Snark]

It's a standard two flag CTF setup. I chose only to do the things that in are in valve maps, because otherwise I would hit a slippery slope of what custom stuff to include and what not to.

 

[YM]

Yeah its now been a week(ish) since I made VFIG player of the week, its your turn now.

 

[ChronoTriggerFan]

You've done it again Boojum! Filling in the holes Valve expects us to leap over, as usual.

 

[StoneFrog]

Excellent work! I'm a sucker for little improvements like these.

Should I add your FGD and remove the TF2 one, or keep both in? I've noticed yours already includes the TF2 FGD, and I have had compatibility problems in the past when running multiple FGDs at once in Hammer (them cancelling out each others' entries and whatnot).

I believe mine loads second because the list is alphabetized, and so overrides anything in the first. It shouldn't matter if you keep the original or not though, I had it in there the whole time without conflict.

I really just never thought about the fact the inclusion means I don't need the other in the list. It started out with just a few edits I did so I had it loaded extra and then when it got complicated I put in the include.

Anyway. I edited the instruction to say remove the original. I suppose it keeps things cleanest.

 

[Icarus]

This is totally awesome!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

btw, try emailing this to valve, they might be interested. It saves them time and includes very useful icons!

 

[Icarus]

a few more you should add

Mapmaker requests

* Added new input for forward speed modifier to FuncTrainTrain
* Added TeleportToPathTrack input to func_tracktrain

I use TeleportToPathTrack in waste, so this would be very useful

 

[A Boojum Snark]

gah... I meant to go through all the entities and check for missing I/Os... totally forgot. :|
