File Tools Help Hello TF2 Maps

Ah, the six essentials.

If you think turbine is bad…
In your eyes 2fort is sniper and engie nest…
And powerhouse is more of a stalemate–house…

Then you must be wondering how bad mashing all 3 can be!

And I'm making the answer!!!

Reworking a map while keeping the layout somewhat the same is harder than I thought, although it's slowly getting there.

Left is old version, right is newer.





There are still some parts I'm unsatisfied with, namely the side spawn building in the first 2 screenshots. And the huge empty space on the upper area in the 3rd screesnhot. But I guess I'll find something for it eventually.

Also tried to replicate one of those ancient Mayan towers. I think it turned out fine.

The questions are how and are you rewriting Hammer to finally work?

 

[Exactol]

I can't rewrite hammer, I only have access to the old leaked source code. I'm using dll injection to try and add some improvements to hammer, but im not sure how much I can actually do.

 

[Pocket]

How old is this source code? Like, TF2 Beta era?

 

[Exactol]

Its from the 2007 source engine code

 

[fubarFX]

@Exactol decent compiler when?

All you'd have to do is drop the CompilePal source code in there and reprogram the Run command to pull that up instead of the normal compile dialog. (More or less; obviously it's more complicated than I made it sound but way easier then rewriting the compile tools from scratch.) Wouldn't even have to sacrifice lightmapped props and whatever else has been introduced since 2007 that's incompatible with the old tools.

I think you could rename compilepal to vbsp.exe and run BSP only compile in Hammer to get identical result

 

[Pocket]

Well, no, because CompilePal needs to be able to run VBSP and now you don't have one in the bin folder.

Coming soon!

 

[Yabayabayaba]

could you put the renamed compile pal in the bin folder?

 

[Exactol]

Or I could just start compile pal when you click the button

 

[fubarFX]

Or I could just start compile pal when you click the button

have you investigated keyboard shortcuts? there's probably a lot of cool things to be done there.

i have been working on timber terror. i'm giving it a more medieval kinda look since the map takes place in an haunted town somewhere in the mountains. probably somewhere in austria
