Ultimate Mapping Resource Pack 2014-11-06

You should put in an 'Invade' CTF prefab,since Valve has sort of reckognized it now.

I second this.

Boojum, if you made a 'Dustbowl' CP System, with the spawn rooms that start working after one 'stage' is over, that'd be fantastic.
If already exists then I'm stupid.


EDIT: I found it. Ignore the thing above please.

 

[NoodleCollie]

I reckon we should aim to give Boojum more thanks than he has posts. This pack has saved me hours.

Hey ABS,

I was looking at the tf_gamerules entity that you added. Could you add respawnwavetime options in there?

 

[A Boojum Snark]

No. I can't "add" any entities or properties. I only make it so Hammer lists things that are already in the game code but not shown by default. You have to use the inputs to the tf_gamerules to control the wave time.

 

[NoodleCollie]

One other thing that really bugs me about the default FGD is that an overlay doesn't have a recognised angles keyvalue when the value does actually work. Any chance that could be added? Just a minor aspect.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

I'd have to look into it. I didn't think it actually did anything, since overlays are positioned by the location of their four corners.

 

[NoodleCollie]

Oh, so that's how they do it. I thought it might have been the angles value since rotating an overlay with Alt-M inserts the keyvalue into the overlay, but if it's not then it doesn't matter, I'll live.

 

[OlafK]

I just click Fix in Check for Problems window and overlay still is rotated and without this error

 

[Psy]

Here's an idea I keep forgetting to post here. It's simple. Add the 'tf' keyword to the tools textures.

 

[NoodleCollie]

I'd second that actually.

 

[Resistance]

I'm getting "Could not find Hud element: CTFHudObjectiveStatus" in console now after reinstalling your resource pack. It's not making any hud elements appear, such as round timer, etc....


edit: fixed, had to restart steam.

Big update! Added better %tooltexture images for all the blends, see the bottom of the main post for details.

Bunch of other misc fixes too, along with consolidating it all into one post. Those giant blocks of thanks just started getting obtrusive

Decided it was getting large enough and spread out enough to warrant an uninstaller too.

 

[grazr]

Are those tool textures custom or modified existing ones? Incase it's necassery to pack them or something..

Although i'd probably wait until i release a new version of the map and just "texture replace" with official versions, if it came to it. No need to pack this sort of thing really.

 

[Nutomic]

The tool textures arent seen in the map anyway, they only do stuff during the compile, so there isnt any need for packing them.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

For both the tools and the blends, they are VMTs with exactly the same names/paths. Except they are located in the SDK directory structure, so that Hammer will find and load them overriding the cached VMTs, but the game will never load them and content embedders will not see them and try to pack them. None of the customizations affect anything outside of Hammer, so it works wonderfully.

Are you telling me people would want to uninstall THIS?

 

[A Boojum Snark]

It was mostly because now I have things that override default stuff so I wanted an uninstaller. Everything else has been addons.

 

[Fraz]

Is it possible for you to update all the relevant dev textures to use the tf keyword as well.

 

[The Political Gamer]

Oh and could you remove the useless textures like the domination counter and some of the HUD stuff.
