Creating a BASIC tf2 map in Source SDK hammer

[Blueparrot911]

how do you add textures

[dacisco101]

@Blueparrot911

1) Select a block

2)Click on the "Browse" button on the left hand side (over the "Replace" button)

3)Look around for your texture

4)Double click on the picture of the texture you want

5)Click on the little icon on the left that looks like a little brick box (the one below the little box that is blue and green)

I need help! I want to make maps in TF2 (I'v already made Half Life 1 mods in the past so I get the basic idea of using source SDK) but I can't select TF2 in source SDK in the drop box to begin with. I have Team Fortress 2 on steam and it works very well, but in the drop-down box when opening source sdk it doesnt say Team Fortress 2. I have no clue what to do, please help.

How the hell did you get a texture on your block? I can't do that, it's just wireframe.

[dacisco101]

@LunaticBunnyofEvil

1)Locate the first quadrant (the box in the upper left corner of the 4 boxes on the screen that have all the lines in them (the editor windows)

2)See the little "camera" text in the upper left corner? Click on it.

3)Find and click on "3D shaded textured polygons"

Ok, now i need a GOOD tutorial on how to make lighting realistic. I did not find smth useful yet.

[JS21O3]

@Blufall Use the tutorial Skwitt gaming has on portal 2 lighting. It's helpful and it works the same (Same editor.)

[Blufall]

Oh and: What is your steam name? I'd like to add you :D

Mine is: Blufall

[Blufall]

How can i test my map with team fortress 2?

[dacisco101]

@Blufall

1. Create your map and save it

2. Go to File>Run Map

3. after it is done compiling, run tf2 and start a new game. You should see your map if you scroll though the maps.

That should work. Sorry for being vague but i haven't used hammer in a while because of summer and all lol

Hope this helped though :)

[Blufall]

@dacisco101 Yes thanks! :D Im makin my own Map. Can you make a tutorial on how to make hills in tf2 maps? I only can build 8-edged blocks.. and that sucks ^^

[dacisco101]

[F4ToContinue]

@dacisco101 why did u put space between the letters when that makes it impossible to jsut Copy and paste it

[dacisco101]

@F4ToContinue because you cant post links in comments

[F4ToContinue]

@dacisco101 yeah but you can Copy it from there by holding mouse down and making the text blue hen typing CTRL+C and then somewhere else CTRL+V and then the thing is copied and pasted, but that wont find the shet from the search tab u know. ah fuck it lol.
