Making maps for Fortress-Forever.

Hellraz0r · 03-18-2007, 07:32 PM

Do you guys use the HL2DM setting on Source SDK or the HL2? I would imagine HL2 for the final versions, but HL2DM to test the map.

GambiT · 03-18-2007, 08:15 PM

i build using HL2

nodnarb · 03-18-2007, 08:48 PM

Most use HL2:DM, some use CS:S, and others use HL2

Nezumi · 03-20-2007, 07:40 PM

I use HL2:DM mostly. I'm guessing it's closer to how FF will be in terms of netcode and physics and stuff.

I use 100% HL2 DM. No real reason, except I think it is closer to FF than any of the other ways to build, and I don't want to use CS content, really. Plus, I can show screenies with the crowbar!

i use hl2 until i reach some point of beta, then i switch over to HL2

M, becouse desplacements are a little different between them since one of the sdk updates

really? how?

virtual collision

, you can turn the collision hull of the displacements on or off, usefull if you want to make waterfalls, but this wasn't possible before, and still not in hl2 sp. i have to compile with -novirtualmesh to get displacements working right like they should

I wanna try to make maps for FF but it seems like a difficult process. and i have no clue what u need..

own3r · 03-31-2007, 07:54 AM

no not really, this is what i do:

Get source sdk via steam

set configuration to hl2 deathmatch

open hammer from the source sdk menu

make brushes lights etc from there, see basic tutorials on getting started:

^thanks, i got that last night. my issue now is my videocard.. its not good enough to play HL: DM

. i'm gonna get a new one soon though..

All of a sudden my hammer is eating up like 99% of my cpu and getting really really bad framerate. I was wondering if this has to do with a steam updage, and if other people are having this problem, or if it's something to do with my computer.

own3r · 04-04-2007, 05:32 PM

I used it yesterday and it ate up most of my memory and slowed my pc down but that is normal since I only have 512MB of ram since the other 512MB broke for some reason.
