CSS map of HRTA

ED E · 15-06-2007 08:07AM

Not sure, quite possibly. We use Valve Hammer Editor, its Free on steam(You may need a source game though to unlock it: Halflife 2, CSS, Day of defeat source.)The Problem would be making the mod to implant them into a server. Not easy. You cannot change the actual game files for compatability, has to be a mod in the mods folder.

BTW, why'd you ask?

Mark_Sc · 15-06-2007 12:14PM

Well I use this alot http://www.counter-strike-dl.com/ and would love to make my own skins, perhaps to match my airsoft collection

ED E · 15-06-2007 02:17PM

Yeah, think they are entity files and could be made, though dont know about scriping sounds.

Been Messin with hammer lads:

When i go run map it saves them as VMFs where dont i need a bmp to play???

What do de_ fy_ ect ect satnd for, are they important?

Voodoomelon · 15-06-2007 07:13PM

VMFs are the project files, if you have Hammer setup properly it will insert the bmp file into your CS map folder so all you have to do to run it is load CS, hit the tilde key and type "map hrta" or whatever you called your map.
It makes no difference what you call the map.

Ok, so here are the first few pics of the map, I spent about 3 hours doing what you see here, about an hour of that was spent trying to resolve a problem with the curved roofs, major pain.

I'm not too sure how big the barns are, so some input would be good. Comment on anything you like, especially the distance between objects and the like.

looking good is that a sky box that you use ?

o1s1n · 15-06-2007 07:47PM

Nice work. I might have to buy css to give this a go

Seems you got todays weather right too!

Voodoomelon · 15-06-2007 08:19PM

Yeh, not bad seeing as i've never been to the place in me life!

It is a skybox Trin, just the default one.

Irish Trinity · 15-06-2007 08:41PM

well at least i know how to make the scenery now but still have no idea how to make buildings

ED E · 15-06-2007 09:09PM

Buildings: make one wall(drag vectors), select texture, hit entre. Then go to one of your orthographic views and hold **** whil dragging it to make a copy of that wall..and so on and so forth. Going tomorrow, Take a few shots for layout. We also need to do the inside of HRTA itself. The place beside is a a car workshop i think and we need nonexs van out side with a load of mp5s(brushes not entitiys!)

Good job Voodoo. BTW, how do you make perimiter to stop the void getting in and howd you mae skyboxes?

Voodoomelon · 15-06-2007 10:53PM

A skybox is just that, a giant cube shaped box that surrounds the map. The map is located in the middle of the cube. You simply set the cube texture to skybox and hey presto, thats it. However there are many other things you can do with skyboxes that I don't fully understand myself yet.

By making a skybox, you automatically remove any leaks as there is no void.

It's scary how accurate that is Voodoo. Looking good so far.

looking good so far, the inside of the two "barns" on the far right should be all one unit though, no wall in between them (i think??), not sure how big the interior is when you walk around it, but looks like it might need to be a little bit bigger, hard to say though...

definitely impressive so far though

Voodoomelon · 16-06-2007 12:45AM

Thanks.

Been adding in a bit of shrubbery. Theres limit amounts of trees and bushes available so it's not going to look exactly like the real thing. Close enough though...

kdouglas · 16-06-2007 01:15AM

i very rarely boot into windows, but i think ill have to make an exception to run css

ED E · 16-06-2007 08:58AM

Ladders, do you texture them and there is an end point thing, whats the story with that?
