I love how the frog has "RIBBIT" in the comments

thanks!

Holy crap! Thanks a lot!

This will help with so much.
Downloading now, and then I will have to spend a few hours studying each game type to understand it all.

In the payload race area, which part is your counter and which part is VALVe's?

Also, do you have any entities for the HUD display?

And additionally, do you have anything in there demonstrating how to make the areas that make the cart move backwards when not pushed?

1: I assume you mean the little bit I wrote at the bottom of the post? It says right in the link to the picture which is which...

2&3: of course? I'm guessing you haven't bothered to look at the library yet.

 

[wiseguy149]

1. Oh, didn't see that that was a link.
2&3. Didn't see them in there, maybe cuz I didn't dl the FGD yet.


Thanks anyway, this is awesome.

The plr setup works very nicely, good job ABS!

 

[Dustoxx]

thanks man! <3

I've actually been trying to create vmfs which basically had all of this but I never got around to finishing them, this is really helpful! Thakns.

 

[ZargonX]

Just found this, and offer extreme gratitude!

 

[CyberZombie88]

Did you fix the arena setup?

 

[A Boojum Snark]

I can't fix what I don't know... nobody ever told me there was anything wrong with it, and it worked fine when I made it.

 

[botboyx3]

I unzipped the file and opened it then this was all I found. Has this happened to anyone else?

 

[A Boojum Snark]

Visgroups. *points to box under your texture panel*

And how many times does that make it?

 

[messiah_complex]

When I show the visgroups, all of the models show up as a large red "ERROR" placeholder. This happens to me in the L4D beta version of hammer as well. Any ideas how to fix it?

 

[A Boojum Snark]

You aren't running with the TF2 game configuration, so Hammer isn't loading the TF2 caches, where all the models are.

 

[messiah_complex]

I don't know what a Boojum Snark is, but it knows what it's talking about. Thanks for the help.

P.S. I can't seem to get the same fix to work for L4D, but half-happy is better than not-happy.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

Uhh, these are TF2 props... They aren't going to work for L4D Hammer.

i am sorry for my earlier post. I've learned so much from this sit
