[MarikoInaba]

Garrys mod uses the orange box engine.

[Aqwert76]

I have a problem: I cant choose the game to map for! It's a gray button; its pissing me off pls help someone

[GrounderTheRobot]

Counter Strikce SoOoS

[clubpokemon224]

no matter what i do i am unable to get it to work for counter strike (but it does for tf2 and portal)

[3kliksphilip]

@clubpokemon224 CS or CSS?

[clubpokemon224]

@3kliksphilip css

[3kliksphilip]

@clubpokemon224 What does it say when you try to load it up for CSS? Also, have you got CSS installed, have you played it since you installed it, and have you tried REFRESH SDK CONTENT and RESET GAME CONFIGURATIONS in the Source SDK menu? Does it still not work?

[clubpokemon224]

@3kliksphilip yes it still does not work. the error which is shown are both of which are shown in your video and i have refreshed and played it several times however it does work for portal and tf2

[3kliksphilip]

@clubpokemon224 I don't know then, sorry.

[clubpokemon224]

@3kliksphilip its ok i managed to fix it

[3kliksphilip]

@clubpokemon224 How did you do it?

[clubpokemon224]

@3kliksphilip i just did a scan of the files found an error when i downloaded it and rather than re-installing it i found it easier to correct the code my self.

[TheRouch12]

hey after i press play game nothing appers why?

pls reply fast

[3kliksphilip]

@TheRouch12 There... isn't a button called 'play game'... or is there? Are you talking about the compile button? Try pressing f9 instead.

[Stofinatorz]

i recently downloaded source sdk but for some reason it doesn't show any games under "current game" and I can't use hammer help plz

[3kliksphilip]

@Stofinatorz refresh sdk content, reset game configurations, and watch the video you're meant to watch instead of this one.

[TheXervion]

Help please. when i try to create a new map in source sdk for CSS it says the following message after i click "File -> New". "FATAL ERROR: Missong material 'editor/wireframe'. Go to Tools | Options | Game Configurations and verify that your game directory is correct.

[3kliksphilip]

@TheXervion Is this your first time mapping? I suggest watching the video I recommend at the beginning of this one, this one's now out of date.

[NinjaKittyLOL]

Please tell me: What inspires you to build a certian map? I'm having trouble with ideas for maps.

[3kliksphilip]

@NinjaKittyLOL It might actually help if you don't have an idea, at least then you won't be disappointed with the results. Just aim for gameplay and see what happens.

[KIUBIX3]

Mine source SDK when i enter on the options is always half-life 2 even if i put cs on the current game and it annoys me alot help here?

[3kliksphilip]

@KIUBIX3 Do you have CSS installed? Did you try REFRESH SDK CONTENT and RESET GAME CONFIGURATIONS ?

[KIUBIX3]

@3kliksphilip i did it and fixe it but now my custom maps start normally decompile but when it get to source it doesn't load it. The cs loads but not the map. I'm trying to install it again

[3kliksphilip]

@KIUBIX3 I don't understand your comment that much, but make sure there isn't a space in the map's name, and if it still doesn't work, PM me what it says in the console after trying to load up your map.

[KIUBIX3]

@3kliksphilip Basicly it starts cs:s but i doesn't start the map. And i can start your maps but not mine. I mean source sdk is being a bitch to me :S

[3kliksphilip]

@KIUBIX3 What happens when CSS loads? Does it just return to the main menu? ALSO, have you read my previous comment?

[KIUBIX3]

@3kliksphilip just returns to main menu and i'll send you the thing on the console

[3kliksphilip]

@KIUBIX3 Are you SURE you've read my previous comments? If not, and it turns out to be what I think it is, I won't be happy.

[UpfrontSum99]

i dont have css. my source sdk is downloading right now. So can i play counter-strike source when i press Counter-strike source???

[3kliksphilip]

@UpfrontSum99 Not if you don't have CSS.

[UpfrontSum99]

@3kliksphilip my heart just broke... :s

[MultiSpacecow]

I have Half life 2 but I don't have Source SDK. Is there a way to download it?

[3kliksphilip]

@MultiSpacecow It should be in your Tools Tab in Steam.

[thefreeteam1]

do source sdk make maps

[3kliksphilip]

@thefreeteam1 You can make it with the tools in the Source SDK

[thefreeteam1]

i do have new steam

[3kliksphilip]

@thefreeteam1 Don't worry, I'm remaking this video right now...

[hellfang132]

but know there is left for dead

[3kliksphilip]

@hellfang132 That didn't make any sense what so ever, but you'll want the stand-along application named 'Left 4 Dead Authoring Tools', also available in the Tools menu.

[Kevinyock]

Isnt hl2dm run on engine 2006?

[3kliksphilip]

@Kevinyock It's a bit messy at the moment. I don't know if anybody has gotten it to work in its current state, I'd recommend just making it for hl2 for now then trying to port it across.

[sk8r2000]

Seeing the old steam menu just gave me a huge nostalgia whack...

[smilegeek123]

i can only find sdk 2006 and 2007 why cant i find and select 2009

[godzillabeast]

On my steam theres No Tools tab Help?

[3kliksphilip]

@godzillabeast It's changed now, you'll find a drop-down list above your games list, from which you'll be able to select 'tools'. I think it will originally be set to 'show all games'

[smilegeek123]

@godzillabeast do you got the new steam

[likemonkeys]

@godzillabeast press "view" and then "tools" at the drop down line and there you go.

[godlike96]

Thanks man :D

[banjowithkazooie]

can you make a team fortress 2 map useing this?

[3kliksphilip]

@banjowithkazooie Yes

[TheReRun100]

does this work the same way if you added garrys mod to the sdk, if so what engine would you use?

[3kliksphilip]

@TheReRun100 I think you just map for other games, then port it across to garry's mod in its properties.

[cooldudepoke]

i'm buying portal 2 at gamestop for pc and mac, do I still get access to the source sdk?

[3kliksphilip]

@cooldudepoke I'm not sure if the editor for Portal 2 is out yet, so I'm afraid I can't answer that. But if you have the Source SDK already, then yes, you can access it.

[mitchg2008]

@3kliksphilip probably not, because portal 2 doesn't use the same engine as half life 2 and counter strike source

[3kliksphilip]

@mitchg2008 Really? Which engine does it use, then?

[mitchg2008]

@3kliksphilip I don't know what the name is, but it's some new version of the source engine, but it's still a total makeover.

[3kliksphilip]

@mitchg2008 It's not a total make-over. It's the same as before, but with support for more dynamic lighting. New versions of the engine haven't stopped people from being able to map for L4D or other newer games (Do remember that even CSS and HL2 are on a newer engine version than they were on originally).

[mitchg2008]

@3kliksphilip by total makeover I man it looks way better, nice job killing it.

[3kliksphilip]

@mitchg2008 I'm sorry, I thought you were implying that it was using a different engine to that of hl2 and css.

[hanspetter98]

@cooldudepoke You use the Alien Swarm SDK for Portal 2.

There is a thread for it on the Steam forums that is called [HOW-TO] Create Portal 2 maps

[thefreeteam1]

@hanspetter98 what do u mean whitc alien swarm sdk for portal 2 i want portal 2

[speewave]

@cooldudepoke according to the Valve Developer Community... You DO have access to the Source: SDK, but editing Portal 2 needs a newer source SDK or its own Portal 2 SDK....

[svinestek]

Haha...my first comment was for another tutorial :P But, yours was really helpful :D thanks

[svinestek]

I love that you have gta4 on favorites ;D Good tutorial :)

[SorrowOfZarrow]

help me plz when i open it an click new i only get one window named front i dont get top, right and camera plz help!!

[3kliksphilip]

@SorrowOfZarrow Watch my 'one window' video.

[SorrowOfZarrow]

@3kliksphilip Thanks! it worked! :)

[GoodWafflesful]

This helped me cause i lost my map tools lol

[GoodWafflesful]

To make css map can you use source engine 2009???

[3kliksphilip]

@GoodWafflesful Yes

[yairoka]

can anybody tell me why i can't start a server with my created map? the .bsp is extracted and everything is on its place.. thanks

[KoutaFG]

Could you please make a configuration tutorial on how to setup Garry's Mod on Hammer, I have searched youtube for a good tutorial on this and all seem outdated or didn't do as good of a job as you do in your videos.

[3kliksphilip]

@KoutaFG I don't use gmod so I probably can't help. I assumed you made them for other games then ported them in.

[KoutaFG]

@3kliksphilip Is there a way to set up hammer so that your able to use all the textures and models from Valve games?

Or just be able to set it up so that it saves the test maps to Garry's mod map folder and uses Garry's mod to test the map?

[3kliksphilip]

@KoutaFG I don't know

[TheKillingducks]

i tried doing this for half life 2 deathmatch and when i press new it says missing material

editor/wireframe check the game directory is correct what do i do

[3kliksphilip]

@TheKillingducks HL2 dm is a bit dodgy at the moment I think, try mapping for Half Life 2 instead for now.

[3kliksphilip]

@pppie123 Please don't ask on more than one video.

[pppie123]

@3kliksphilip oops i replyed to myself. i meant to say i stupidly did. sorry :P

[pppie123]

@pppie123 i stupidly did. im sorry.

[AnimationStationS]

@pppie123 1. Add lighting. Your map is full bright if decals are black 2. What do you mean by skybox decal? You never put decals on the skybox and you should know why.

[3kliksphilip]

@AnimationStationS We've been having this debate on another video of mine that he posted on, and he swears that he didn't put a decal on the skybox. I think.

[pppie123]

@AnimationStationS You read it wrong. i never use decals for skybox. But forget it. Fixed it.

[3kliksphilip]

@pppie123 Yeah, AnimationStationS. You read it wrong. It's not that he typed it wrong or anything. (Hence why he removed his comment) :P

[killer8479394]

@3kliksphilip same with hammer but i think i fixed it already oh well...now to watch some hammer tutorial's

[killer8479394]

i got a problem i start it i click model viewer and it says the config for your game is invalid or missing what do i do?

[3kliksphilip]

@killer8479394 Why are you clicking on model viewer? Hammer is where it's at. However, for you to be able to load it up without problems you'll need to have loaded and played the game you're mapping for.

[abrahamstudios]

what engvine version is orange box, mine says source engine 2007, 2009 or 2008

[ShakrallStudios]

how come i have css and i go to all engines but i still cant find the game in the source sdk. plz help! thanks :)

[3kliksphilip]

@ShakrallStudios Try 2009 engine, then REFRESH SDK CONTENT and RESET GAME CONFIGURATIONS

[Mr10Lap]

@3kliksphilip i did this, for episode 2, and now it says the configuration information for the game your trying to edit is invalid or missing, what do i do?

[3kliksphilip]

@Mr10Lap You need to have played the game you're trying to map for. It's not enough just to have it downloaded.

[ShakrallStudios]

@3kliksphilip Thank you so much! :)

[iani103]

What about making a map for GarrysMod?

[Kart00nHead]

I was so happy to hear a British accent, thought I was going to be cringing all the way through like in those 'PROW GEETAR SHAP DAT CAM!' vids.

[yruy100]

Sorry but where the game Left 4 Dead / 2 because it also uses the Source engine version 14

[3kliksphilip]

@yruy100 L4D 1 and 2 use their own editing tools, which are the same as these, but are not included in the Source SDK. You can find the authoring tools for both games in the tools menu of Steam, just like the Source SDK is located.

[greenmihovil]

I have a slight problem. I've done the start you said in the desricption for source SDK 2009, but my side, top and front boxes are white and i don't see anything. Can u help me? Thanks.

[3kliksphilip]

@greenmihovil Hmm, white? Could you upload a picture and PM me a link to it so that I can see?

[AwesomeRudi51]

i got problem. my textures are stretched for some reason. D:

[3kliksphilip]

@AwesomeRudi51 What, straight away or when you resize?

[AwesomeRudi51]

@3kliksphilip when i resize texture goes streched and i dont know how solve this problem :c

[3kliksphilip]

@AwesomeRudi51 There's an icon at the top of the screen saying 'tl' with arrows pointing either side. Deselect that.

[AwesomeRudi51]

@3kliksphilip you safe my ass thank you so much :]

[AwesomeRudi51]

@3kliksphilip now the another problem when i try click a brush when i got brush with skybox texture its "ONLY CHOOSE" brush with skybox textures can you help me with this problem :c

[3kliksphilip]

@AwesomeRudi51 Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. I suggest you watch my 'skybox texturing in 45 seconds' video tutorial.

[AwesomeRudi51]

@AwesomeRudi51 sry for this last comment i was already fixed it.

[TheLarlas]

I've never done this before, It'd be much appreciated if you could tell me why all 4 boxes ( black main boxes ) are cameras, Thank you.

[3kliksphilip]

@TheLarlas You can manually adjust them by clicking on where it says camera and by choosing another view type.

[adequateD22]

Could you add me on Steam? Or send me an e-mail at adequated1980@yahoo.com

[3kliksphilip]

@adequateD22 Just ask your question on here and I'll answer

[Segatendo12]

I thought you made a tutorial on doing custom textures, but I think I'm wrong.

[3kliksphilip]

@Segatendo12 I did, but it became obsolete.

[Segatendo12]

@3kliksphilip Then you should make a new one. :)

[AndrewTR09]

I have the free version of Portal and plan on buying Half Life 2 will I be able to play mods for Portal if thats the only game I own and will I be able to mod?

[3kliksphilip]

@AndrewTR09 I don't know

[hazzmando]

can anyone help me, when i make a box it doesn't go to the grid lines and i used a prop that i can see in hammer but not in-game, help please

it's tf2 if that helps

[TheSameTeam]

whats the one for Gmod

[3kliksphilip]

@TheSameTeam I think you make it for another game, and then import it in using the gmod menus

[XxlanexXj]

nevermind i figured it out

[XxlanexXj]

it only gives me source engine 2006, 2007 and 2009. I want to make a cs:s map but i can only make portal maps for some reason. What do i do?

[MrDangerous1200]

i have day of defeat source but i dont have it on list. ive refreshed it but nothing

[3kliksphilip]

@MrDangerous1200 Which engine version are you looking under?

[MrDangerous1200]

hey i have a problem. i dont have any game in source sdk! why? anybody can help me?

[3kliksphilip]

@MrDangerous1200 Which source games do you own? Choose Engine Version 2009 from the drop down list, then refresh sdk content and reset game configurations.

[Arthurk346]

oo old steam i missed.....

[slik4100]

Ive played, half life 2, episode 1, episode 2, cs:s, teamfortress 2, dod:s, and portal, and i can only make maps on css

[3kliksphilip]

@slik4100 Check the 2009 engine version, refresh sdk content and reset game configurations, and more games should appear.

[StinnerMatjest]

@3kliksphilip Hey. I have a problem making a skybox. when i've made the skybox and have picked the right texture i press CTRL + H but instead of giving me the option as normal it just delete everything in it instead.

[3kliksphilip]

@StinnerMatjest Press 'U' to display your map again, and then manually go up to TOOLS, MAKE HOLLOW to hollow it in future.

[StinnerMatjest]

@3kliksphilip You are an hero man Phillip ;D i didn't know that you were still helping people on this video xD

[XxlanexXj]

@StinnerMatjest

right click,make hollow

[Csidia]

How do i move my camera HELP NAAOWWW(heavy quote)

[3kliksphilip]

@Csidia WASD controls once you've pressed Z over the 3D area of Hammer

[Dude5464673]

wen i click, new, it says missing material wire/frame go to tools/options/game configurations r correct and check if my game directory is correct and i did but message still pops up

wat do?

[3kliksphilip]

@Dude5464673 You need to have loaded and played the game you want to map for before loading Source SDK

[werapoop]

Aah. I find way to find it! I need only to reset game gonfigurations :D

[werapoop]

I have Css but i dont find it from drop menu. I have installed source SDk and refreshed with no luck. what i should to do?

[SKATExMUCH]

thannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnk you :)))))))))))

[CRAXERSNAX9025]

After I finished that map I wanted to play it in gmod how do I do that save it as a vmf and find it in the halflife2 section for the mapslist

[3kliksphilip]

@CRAXERSNAX9025 You compile the map and get its BSP file. This is the map file you need. You can then put it in the maps folder for gmod, and browse for them inside gmod in the OTHER category. I can't say that I use gmod that much, but it seemed fairly easy to do.

[CRAXERSNAX9025]

@3kliksphilip thanks ive figured it out i just want to put custom textures thin out my walls and have buttons that play music now. your tutorials helped me out a lot.

[TheStamN1]

You are my god, keep making videos, its your desteny :)

[danoninho72]

i have a BIG problem

ive refreshed and reseted game configs but every single time i open hammer, after about 30 secs the program doesnt respond!

plz help!

[3kliksphilip]

@danoninho72 Sorry, I don't know.

[danoninho72]

@3kliksphilip aparently its something that creates an error with hammer but i dont what prigra does that..

[oOosupernicoOo]

@danoninho72 Might be the overflow of wrong cfg commands, try reinstall all of your Source engine games including Source SDK

[danoninho72]

@oOosupernicoOo i reinstalled steam and still didnt work..

[Tinak00777]

i didn't relised i had this when i got the orange box LOL

thanks tho

[glados360]

I DONT HAVE AN "ORANGE BOX" OR A FREAKIN "HL2 EP1 MENU

[3kliksphilip]

@glados360 Try Engine 2009 instead. Or, at least, READ THE DESCRIPTION

[ZeppyLike]

@glados360 it's changed to Source Engine 2009

[NOVAKMovies]

I wanna change spawnpoints on an already existing map, how can i do that?

[Rhombi485]

Stupid fucking ads. I can't seem to be able to watch them, every time i try to it stops streaming and it gets stuck in the middle...

[kasira19]

Hey i need help i have been mapping for 1 year thanks to your tutorials :3

But my steam messed up and i had to reinstall it and i reinstalled Source sdk and There is no Grid! Its all set camera front top side but Its all black :O please reply thanks

[3kliksphilip]

@kasira19 Which game are you mapping for?

[kasira19]

@3kliksphilip Hl2 but i fixed it now i just reinstalled it.

[MayThereBePivot]

I have l4d, does that work?

[3kliksphilip]

@MayThereBePivot Yes, but I think that for L4D 1 you'd have to download the Left 4 Dead Authoring Tools from the Tools menu of Steam

[MayThereBePivot]

@3kliksphilip l4d2**

[3kliksphilip]

@MayThereBePivot Same applies

[MayThereBePivot]

@3kliksphilip K

[brunkies]

i have source engine 2006 2007 and 2009 but there is no current game to select

[3kliksphilip]

@brunkies Which game do you want to map for, and do you have it installed and have you played it yet?

[brunkies]

@3kliksphilip i want to make a map for cs cz , cs 1.6 , zps and i have those games and i have played

[3kliksphilip]

@brunkies CS, CZ, CS 1.6 (Same as CS?) all use the Half Life 1 engine, and cannot be mapped for with this version of Hammer. Search for Hammer 3.5 on the internet, I cannot help you more than that.

I don't know much about ZPS, I'm guessing it's a mod, and that is why you don't have any games appearing in your Source SDK drop down boxes.

[halflifefan84]

okay, when I map for source engine version 2009, hammer looks fine, but when I try to map for my custom mod (source engine 2007) there isn't that front top and side view, they're just blank (Blank Screen) and I can't create boxes on them, I can fly around with the top right box, but every other box is blank, I really need help!

[SlimySnail44]

How do you make a Garry's Mod map, or is it even possible?

[3kliksphilip]

@SlimySnail44 Yes, make it for Half Life 2 or something similar, then you can place the bsp file in the gmod maps folder and import it in-game.

[swebuilder]

You really helped me :D

[mYnt06]

i cant find counter strike source in either 2006, 2007 or 2009, ive refreshed the sdk content and reset game config, ive also launched the game, but it isnt in a list , it use to be there and i can see all the other games, do u know how to fix this?

[3kliksphilip]

@mYnt06 Launching the game isn't enough, you actually have to play the game for it to set it up properly. You must then reload Hammer, try REFRESH and RESET one last time, with 2009 selected.

[danisak0]

Please help! I chose 2009 but only 1 black box appears! Thanks

[3kliksphilip]

@danisak0 Watch my fairly recent tutorial about this, it's titled '1 window problem'

[AussieBoy1337]

when i press New map it said FATAL ERROR
