This is becoming annoying

I'm so tired today, so maybe I'm screwed up. I've been on the CTF site forums following the exact set up, and it still won't work right.

So how do I do it? I copied the materials and models folders into the "sourcesdk_content/hl2ctf"  folder, and I copied the "hl2ctf.fgd" file into the "sourcesdk/bin" folder.

So why isn't it working when I load up hammer?! I configured it for "Obsidian Conflict" the new coop mod, using the GameConfig.txt file and editing that. They point it out here: http://www.obsidianconfl...rums/viewtopic.php?t=185

When I try using the entities I load via "TOOLS -> Options" after starting up Hammer under HL2DM, they all come up as error models and won't start obviously because it would start in HL2DM and not CTF.

Forgive my stupidity

LOL you sound like me ...

Ok the ctf models show up as ERROR no matter what you do in camera view. You should be able to tell what they are in 2D view. However they work just the same, thay just say error.

When you are finished making changes, compile the map but do not run it as hl2dm will not recognize the changes. Once compiled copy the new map file from your hl2mp  map folder and paste it in your ctf map folder (Ijust drop and drag it) Then you can open hl2ctf  and be able to play the map. You can access it from the "create server" list.

It seems confusing and the ctf site doesn't fully explain this either.

Hope this helps

As I'm about to go to bed, I'm not even gonna bother trying tonight. I'll give it a shot in the dark tomorrow with a big ol box, some spawns and cap pts, and the flags.

Thanks. Let's just pray it works for me


EDIT: Okay...so falling asleep wasn't working. I did it...but I just think I'm gonna have a problem with creating a map in Hammer that gives me error signs the whole time. Hard to tell where stuff is, and what's what without clicking it. Can I just use the DM Spawns instead of CTF_rebel or w/e??



EDIT (again): Forget it. Thanks for the help and all, but after decompiling some maps to take a look at how they were done, I know I won't have the patience. I usually use the 2d to do all my work, and getting that many lines is just too hectic for me. I looked at 2fort, and I'm just not seeing me making a map for CTF lol.

I have a very rough, and very crappy HL2DM Gravity gun map if anyone wants it.  (It shows you my "mapping skills" (or lack thereof) lol

16 spawns, immediately strip you of weapons, and you're forced to grab a GG, then, head through a portal to a random destination on the map, grab some items, and start firing. Due to all the portals though (or most likely some n00b mistake on my part) the compile time was like 15 minutes lmao

The version I have is very old, as the most recent one ended up crashing Hammer and I lost all my progress. All items were laid out, and so much has been done to make it ran dom fun, but in the end it wasn't meant to be. As long as I get some credit, you can have it. I'll be happy to send it over AIM / X-fire / E-mail etc.
