@thomasl4d That's because it's not a bundle of physics particles..or even a mesh..it's just a shader....it 'looks' like it should be water..but it's just a fancy texture with some shader properties. I've yet to see a game where you could even do this anyway..I'd wait a few years at least.
@vanhakaveri I doubt any game requires a 580 as a dedicated ppu. Nvidia don't allow amd to support it, so you'll need an nvidia gpu to support it. But a reasonably powerful gpu should be able to render the game and physics at the same time (in most games, at least).
@vanhakaveri Do you have a leak? Which errors do you have in the compilelog for your map? Which water texture have you used, and have you made the water something silly like func_detail?
I'm having so much trouble getting the damn water to show ingame..
When I apply the texture to the box for the water, ti does shows up in Hammer, but when I compile the map and run it, it's gone. I was able to hear the sound and the water "effect", but no visual on the texture.
@L3G3nD0001 You probably have a leak in your level. Go up to MAP and down to LOAD POINTFILE, and see if a red line appears. If so, follow its route and it will show you how things in your level are able to escape into the blackness outside. If they are able to do that, you have a leak and your water will not work.
@3kliksphilip Say I wanted a model of a boat on my map, when I get into the packing after Ive placed the boat model, would the textures for the boat be a vtf and vmt? Also some props dont even appear if I dont put them on map but im going to guess thats due to not packing the map with the textures.
I like this tutorial, but I'm having trouble with something else with water. If you ever been to a minigames map with a "water climb", it looks like floating water in the sky. When I'm making maps and try to make a water climb, it's invisible to the eye and just Floating water in the sky (that you can't see). Any advice on this would be helpful.
i'm aware this question isnt related to this video but thanks this helped a lot.
what i'm wondering is that is is it possible to make cylinders in sdk? for example in maya you can choose preset shapes and i noticed in one of your water tutorials theres cylinder poles on the walls.
@3kliksphilip Hey I just started messing around with SDK, I am trying to make alien swarm maps, but I can't test my maps, when I try to it just runs maps I made in tilegen. Is there a console command that allows me to specify which map to load?
@UrbanFury12 Ooh, not sure how it works with Alien Swarm. Can't you load up your game's console by pressing the ` key? You should then be able to load up your map by typing
@3kliksphilip Hey I really appreciate you responding to my comment, thank you for taking the time to do so. My gaming rig is currently not operating properly. I will get back to you once things are up and running again!
@american237 Please stop with this, I think I answered your problem on another video of mine as well. Just read the comment I posted before and do as I say there and it should work.
@american237 Check your skybox in Hammer, double click on it. What pops up? What does it say on the thing that pops up? Does it say that the skybox is a particular property?
@hard1296 Dude no offense..But you'rq question is completely stupid.In halo 3 you us eobjects this is making maps straight forward not edititng some places
@SWBF2Reviews You might have to download a custom texture. The only watery one I know that you can see from the side is the custom waterfall texture, 'floating' about on the internet somewhere. Source isn't really suited to doing this sort of thing.
@NinjaKittyLOL Did you make the ground a func_detail? Try deleting the LIN file in the same location as your map's vmf file. If it appears again when you compile, it's still a proper leak.
@NinjaKittyLOL Maybe you have a leak, make sure there isn't a gap in your skybox, allowing for stuff to escape from your map into the blackness outside.
@ds2o It's a bug with the Source engine, I don't think there's any neat way of fixing it. I guess you could try making the walls displacements (Be careful with this, can cause lots of problems, be sure to have a solid wall behind them at some point). Extend the water block beyond the boundaries of the water area you can see, and generally just mess about until you find something that looks nicer :P
@3kliksphilip sorry to bother you again, but, when I enable hdr in-game (map is compiled with HDR), there is no reflection in the water... any clue why?
Hey dude, my water works, expect that underwater, any texture that's going upwards getting messed up, like it shows flickering images of water and reflections and shit, how can I fix this? I can take a screenshot and send it to you if you want me to.
Not a request, but if possible could you explain how to make custom water textures work? I tried, and the top surface is always just a blank white texture even when the .vmt formats are correct, no compile errors, and I built the cubemaps :s The normal ones would cause noclip glitches when I tried to use them in Portal.
@Emild00d You PROBABLY have a leak, either that or your compilelog for your map will show lots of things about 'portal side errors'. If you have a leak, it should be easy to fix (Go up to 'map', Load Point File). Once fixed, compile, then repeat. If it doesn't shoe a new red line locating the leak, and you still have the problem, then contact me again
Hi! I'm starting to map on Hammer and I'm really enjoying it, but I have a problem. How to I "substract" the floor in order to create a "hole" to fill water, in other words, how to I substract the floor to make a pool? Oh and great video :D It will help me a lot :)
@DxVentura Do you mean 'how do I make a hole in the floor'? If so, you COULD carve the floor, but I advise against it, instead get into the habit of simply making blocks around the hole in the shape you want them to be. (So make 4 different blocks for each side of the drop, then one for the floor at the bottom of the drop). It's a bit more long-winded but more flexible, technique-wise.
@Tormundellis You just said the same thing on two completely different videos. Yet I still don't know what the problem you're having is. Is it something to do with water or not? Have you tried adding water? Have you added a skybox? I'm guessing it's your first ever time mapping, I suggest you upload your map's vmf file to the internet somewhere, then pm me with a link and I'll take a look at it. If you have a hole in your map to the blackness outside, it will lead to repeating visual artifacts.
@3kliksphilip Sorry, It had nothing to do with the water. I was mixed up and commented on the wrong video. Anyway, the problem is, I've mapped before, and know how to do it (Mostly basics anyway). But the thing is, When I put the skybox in, like in your'e update of your'e 2008 tutorial, it is still see through. I went on map -> properties and typed in the texture I want, and even that didn't help. What's going on?
i have a problem withthe water textures in a map i was creating. On my first few runs of my map i could see the water texture both in game and in editor. As my map progressed i suddenly could not see the water texture, however i can still see it in the skybox i made earlier, the map has no leaks and i can swim in the water, i have changed the texture many times, but still i can only see it in the skybox. However if i noclip to the physical, 16 times smaller, skybox i cannot see the water either.
I need some help, im making a map with a pool area , by using the instruction the video says , and the water never appears , iv tried pressing the run map button and the save button and as save. please help.
@3Kliksphilip It won't show up in-game, I used Ph3at's guide to making a tf2 map (if that helps at all ) and used the "skybox" tool as a wall/celling above my already textured walls
@backslashLagarbete I can't help unless you upload the map's vmf file to somewhere, then send me the link. I'll then look at your map and see what the problem is.
Would anyone happen to know why on my 'Face edit sheet' the 'x' and 'y's have been changed (numbers in them) and why 'world' and 'face' are selected? they seem to be causing problems :( Thanks in advance!!!
@ruud1212 In that case, I guess it can't be done unless you have a trigger_push pushing you upwards, just enough to keep you afloat, but not enough to send you flying into the air.
I'm guessing that if it's parented to the weapon then it won't act as something you can stand on.
@ruud1212 I'd make them func_physbox, then parent phys_thruster entities to them. Set the thruster directions, then make them enable / disable when you press certain buttons. It's simple in theory, but don't expect to get it working first time. It makes for very convincing ship movement, though.
@ruud1212 also if u want it to be drive-able using the W A S D keys (movement keys) then u gotta use a "game_ui" entity and setup all the triggers n stuff
@ruud1212 it is hard to get working from scratch, i suggest decompiling a map that has driveable things in it, but be sure to only decompile to learn from it and not to steal content ;)
@nightshade916 Could you show me a screenshot? It also depends on the depth and angle you view the water from. I have a more in-depth video showing lots of different water textures
what this guy has failed to tell you all and the whole reason its not working is because you have to have a env_fog_controller put in the map then in the setting have it set on then it will show up.
@3kliksphilip well mate i followed your tut here to every degree and well it did not work and judging from all the comments here im not the only one with this problem. So i searched the internet and found a forum were somone had asked the same question and a person named Punishment on the steampowered forums told him to do this and well it solved it im using l4d2 authoring tools btw.
@gtaellis Hi, thanks for this. I've never mapped for L4D2, but from what I've read it seems to be a problem with the env_fog_controller entity starting 'off', which seems to cause problems with L4D 2. As I said before, I've never mapped for L4D2 so I can't confirm it, if you could make a simple one-room level in Left 4 Dead 2 and see if the water works, it would be helpful. Does there NEED to be an env_fog_controller in every map with water in?
@3kliksphilip already testing it out and can conform that it works, and from the looks of it you will need to have an env_fog_controller on every map if you want the water to render.
Hey...sorry for bothering you with the "no working water" but I have a slight problem and I can't find a fix. For example I made a block of water, I right clicked on the surface to apply the water, the water looks good in hammer but in game the surface is not showing...I can see it from inside. The skybox cannot be leaking because it's made with one box. Can you help me please :)? And another thing...I don't have some entities like sliding doors, or tracktrain (or what is it called). Help please
@3kliksphilip No, the water doesn't has beneath in it's name... and every water I try it's like the same...I can see the skybox through it...no object no nothing it's like it's a camera screen that shows me the skybox :(( (only in game happens :( ) here is a shot imageflock(dot)com/img/1283106865(dot)bmp
@FoxY1233 not only does the skybox have to be completely sealed but nothing outside of it. like a prop sticking out or something. and the sliding door is just "func_door" <--- then you have to change the moving direction. remember when you are changing the direction that it goes by the top view of hammer, so dont just randomly pick a direction. and its "func_Tracktrain" and you must tie "Ctrl+T" that to a brush. it isnt in the entities. once you have that you need a "path_track" which is in cont
Plz make subtitles or something. The voice quality is a bit weak compared to others of your videos and i can't hear what you say on the beginning. something like: "Select the dsfjtexture"
@RandomGuy1994 The reason for the quality is because it's a much older video than the rest of them. I'll be remaking them over time, but this has still got to be one of my favourite videos of mine (It's one of the shortest, simplest, most satisfying AND has cheesy music in the background!).
I got a question. When I go into my pool of water, why does the water flicker really badly as if I have a GFX card problem. The water only flickers when I move my mouse. When I am stationary, the water looks like its chopped off at some parts.
My water is very weird so I can't see anything under water, I can only see like 1 meter in front of me.. it's all like blurry and dirty, any idea on how to fix that?

@3Kliksphilip It won't show up in-game, I used Ph3at's guide to making a tf2 map (if that helps at all ) and used the "skybox" tool as a wall/celling above my already textured walls

@backslashLagarbete I can't help unless you upload the map's vmf file to somewhere, then send me the link. I'll then look at your map and see what the problem is.

@3kliksphilip I can't get it to show up, I'm trying to make a pool area if thats any helpt

@backslashLagarbete It doesn't show up in-game or in the editor? If it's in-game, is the sky also a strange colour or not?

you don't have to select a nodraw texture. you can just make a water block and you're done!
AnimatorNDJ 1 year ago
@AnimatorNDJ Why would you need to apply expensive water textures to the side of the block?

@3kliksphilip alright tahts an argument ^^

Would anyone happen to know why on my 'Face edit sheet' the 'x' and 'y's have been changed (numbers in them) and why 'world' and 'face' are selected? they seem to be causing problems :( Thanks in advance!!!

@aapenjong What?
3kliksphilip 1 year ago
do you got any idea how i can get an func_physbox_multiplayer float on func_analog_water?
(its a boat)
you pick up an weapon and the boat follows the weapon (is the idea)
ruud1212 1 year ago
@ruud1212 func_physbox will float if it's wood.
3kliksphilip 1 year ago
@3kliksphilip
its already wood but the wood has an parent (weapon M4)
its not solid either (it should be solid it says solid to world)
i think thats the reason it doesnt float
its based on watch?v=UmB2WU9N9VA
ruud1212 1 year ago
@ruud1212 In that case, I guess it can't be done unless you have a trigger_push pushing you upwards, just enough to keep you afloat, but not enough to send you flying into the air.
I'm guessing that if it's parented to the weapon then it won't act as something you can stand on.
3kliksphilip 1 year ago
@3kliksphilip
awh :(
but do you know maybe how make the little boats like MG_piratewars?
i couldnt decompile the map
ruud1212 1 year ago
@ruud1212 Which bit are you having trouble with? Isn#t it just a ship made out of func_breakable pieces?
3kliksphilip 1 year ago
@3kliksphilip
i mean the little boats (wich you can drive)
cant realy figure it out how thats done
ruud1212 1 year ago
@ruud1212 I'd make them func_physbox, then parent phys_thruster entities to them. Set the thruster directions, then make them enable / disable when you press certain buttons. It's simple in theory, but don't expect to get it working first time. It makes for very convincing ship movement, though.
3kliksphilip 1 year ago
@3kliksphilip
ah i see im gonna try it :)
but is it possible to activate those with the movement buttons (wasd)
cause mg_piratewars did it
ruud1212 1 year ago
@ruud1212 also if u want it to be drive-able using the W A S D keys (movement keys) then u gotta use a "game_ui" entity and setup all the triggers n stuff

i did without succes but ill remake it maybe i made a mistake
ruud1212 1 year ago
@ruud1212 it is hard to get working from scratch, i suggest decompiling a map that has driveable things in it, but be sure to only decompile to learn from it and not to steal content ;)

you knows maps with driveable things?
cause i tried with one map and i failed :(

@nightshade916 Could you show me a screenshot? It also depends on the depth and angle you view the water from. I have a more in-depth video showing lots of different water textures

woot835 1 year ago
@woot835 Why exactly are you making it func_brush?
3kliksphilip 1 year ago
@3kliksphilip well cause i use that to make stuff non solid like in your video how to make walls walkthroughable :D
woot835 1 year ago
@woot835 Sorry for the late reply. Water must not be made into a func_brush, since it is walk-throughable by default.

@3kliksphilip ah its k il figure it out some day

@3kliksphilip umm im totaly new to sdk (except alien swarm) i only know some basics of how to build rest i dont know squat about
woot835 1 year ago
what this guy has failed to tell you all and the whole reason its not working is because you have to have a env_fog_controller put in the map then in the setting have it set on then it will show up.
gtaellis 1 year ago
@gtaellis ...and why would putting an env_fog_controller in your map make the water work?
3kliksphilip 1 year ago
@3kliksphilip well mate i followed your tut here to every degree and well it did not work and judging from all the comments here im not the only one with this problem. So i searched the internet and found a forum were somone had asked the same question and a person named Punishment on the steampowered forums told him to do this and well it solved it im using l4d2 authoring tools btw.
gtaellis 1 year ago
@gtaellis Hi, thanks for this. I've never mapped for L4D2, but from what I've read it seems to be a problem with the env_fog_controller entity starting 'off', which seems to cause problems with L4D 2. As I said before, I've never mapped for L4D2 so I can't confirm it, if you could make a simple one-room level in Left 4 Dead 2 and see if the water works, it would be helpful. Does there NEED to be an env_fog_controller in every map with water in?
3kliksphilip 1 year ago
@3kliksphilip already testing it out and can conform that it works, and from the looks of it you will need to have an env_fog_controller on every map if you want the water to render.
gtaellis 1 year ago
@gtaellis Okay, thanks. Left 4 Dead 1 doesn't seem to need that.

Hey...sorry for bothering you with the "no working water" but I have a slight problem and I can't find a fix. For example I made a block of water, I right clicked on the surface to apply the water, the water looks good in hammer but in game the surface is not showing...I can see it from inside. The skybox cannot be leaking because it's made with one box. Can you help me please :)? And another thing...I don't have some entities like sliding doors, or tracktrain (or what is it called). Help please
FoxY1233 1 year ago
@FoxY1233 Does your water texture have 'beneath' in its name? Choose another one.
3kliksphilip 1 year ago
@3kliksphilip No, the water doesn't has beneath in it's name... and every water I try it's like the same...I can see the skybox through it...no object no nothing it's like it's a camera screen that shows me the skybox :(( (only in game happens :( ) here is a shot imageflock(dot)com/img/1283106865(dot)bmp
FoxY1233 1 year ago
@FoxY1233 In that case, you probably have a leak or something. PM me the compilelog for your map
3kliksphilip 1 year ago
@FoxY1233 not only does the skybox have to be completely sealed but nothing outside of it. like a prop sticking out or something. and the sliding door is just "func_door" <--- then you have to change the moving direction. remember when you are changing the direction that it goes by the top view of hammer, so dont just randomly pick a direction. and its "func_Tracktrain" and you must tie "Ctrl+T" that to a brush. it isnt in the entities. once you have that you need a "path_track" which is in cont

Plz make subtitles or something. The voice quality is a bit weak compared to others of your videos and i can't hear what you say on the beginning. something like: "Select the dsfjtexture"

@RandomGuy1994 Nodraw texture
3kliksphilip 1 year ago
@RandomGuy1994 The reason for the quality is because it's a much older video than the rest of them. I'll be remaking them over time, but this has still got to be one of my favourite videos of mine (It's one of the shortest, simplest, most satisfying AND has cheesy music in the background!).

I got a question. When I go into my pool of water, why does the water flicker really badly as if I have a GFX card problem. The water only flickers when I move my mouse. When I am stationary, the water looks like its chopped off at some parts.
