[FactoryHeadNoland]

Man thank you so much for the tutorial!

I know this will take me time to make a map but still thank you! Hehe hopefully be able to make at least 2 saxton hale maps XD

[merlecasey13]

This is one "noisy" video. =p

[EgoOmnesRenati]

zed....i love canadians

[mrlego611]

Now I can make HL2 E3! :D

[BeAsTm0aD]

damn, this is like minecraft lol

[lolcakes52501]

wow, making simple maps looks easy!

[Dumaiciukas]

how to smooth texture?

[theduckinabox]

I made a skybox and pressed ctrl+H and it deleted all the structures inside said skybox.

what

do?

[bboypaki1]

cant se any thing in top left box plzzz help i tried all cameras

[MetroGamerX]

i accidentally clicked dislike.

[HyperblexMedia]

@MetroGamerX ok? you can always hit like to change it. theres no need to shout it out for the entire world to hear

[ammarfeyzo]

are you mismag822 xD ??

[GamerTopHat]

@3kliksphilip yeah i make the block but it still has the white outlines and no texture idk how to fix it

[1indeed1]

@GamerTopHat i have the same problem.

[Aztayearth]

hey guys i accidently made a map and turns out i made it for the wrong game (hl2 instead of tf2) is there anyway to fix this?

[mitk01]

BTW your videos helped me allot before.

[mitk01]

The new source SDK Hammer is total bullshit. For some reason i'm wireframe and i cant see fucking textures.

[korYYY1337]

okay lets go

[Labrianidis25]

[TLKSorrow]

Dude love ur tutorials helped me so much

[3kliksphilip]

@EWOKakaDOOM Try pressing [

[kenlaboss]

PART 2

the game just changes to half life 2 deathmatch and then nothing happens. i cant change the game configurations,

[kenlaboss]

yes hello man, you probably dont remember me but i can tell you what the problem i had last time that i didnt know about.

first i click on the source SDK.

then i pick a game (this happens to all my games)

i pick counter-strike: source and i click on hammer editor and then it says

"the game configurations for the game is invalid or missing"

i look it up on steam and find how to fix it.

they told me to edit game configurations, but then i press the button the game TO BE CONTINUE

[Zufall2009]

I've was looking for ages to find a good tutorial, now I found the best. Thank you very much.

[jamesAboy19]

Ever time i press ctr+ H for the skybox the rest of my level ide it disappears...any suggestion?

[3kliksphilip]

@jamesAboy19 Press U to restore it, then watch my non-outdated video

[kenlaboss]

@jamesAboy19 happesn to me to, weird

[RammliedGaming]

I have used UDK and SDK, i gotta say, UDK is waaaay better, and waaaaaaaaaaa (Ax999) y harder to even learn to use than SDK, SDK is hard but fairly easier

[pufixas]

@RammliedGaming

Are you know what you are saying?...

SDK stands for Software Development Kit...

And UDK stands for Unreal Development Kit...

[3kliksphilip]

@pufixas What he says still makes sense.

[pufixas]

@3kliksphilip

No really...

[RickRay9]

'Pardon, 3kliksphilip - I'd like some assistance. I love your videos, 'and-- they're great. 'Good tutorials. ;'3

I'm just set to one thing, 'or two, if y'all cool with it-- alright, so... I've built a map where you start in an alley, you walk into a trigger, your movement slows down - I need help with slowing the rest of the props and canister - which grounds the alley - possible 'timescale'? - 'and, there's another entity that allows you to display a helpful tooltip - 'SHIFT: sprint' - which?

[3kliksphilip]

@RickRay9 Um, the item_hev should give you the hud in HL2. As for the console commands to make everything slow down, I can't remember what it's called, but if you can find out (It is something to do with timescale IIRC), you can use a point_servercommand entity to make it trigger that console command in-game.

[RickRay9]

@3kliksphilip 'Thanks, brohan.

[saxoncola23]

Thanks for your tutorials i subscribed:)

[vistavsxp]

how to fix black windows in sourcesdk!?

year ago i knew how to fix it... but now ...

[3kliksphilip]

@vistavsxp ...black windows? Nothing on them at all? What is their view set to?

[vistavsxp]

@3kliksphilip

fixed problem, reconfigured game settings

[ThatGmodGuy]

if you worked for valve all of half life 3's maps would be finished by now

[3kliksphilip]

@ThatGmodGuy Maybe, but they'd be so sick and twisted that nobody would dare play them :P

[degenderer]

i dont have the four windows that have the camera and the other ones i only have 1 thing

[3kliksphilip]

@degenderer No need to ask on more than one video.

[andrewweeson]

@3kliksphilip thanks for the video thanks :)

[kmkandicp21]

@3kliksphilip ok i am trying to edit a map for my garrysmod server but its like SDK wont let me get the map on there for editing....

[Metinserver24]

@3kliksphilip can i make mods with it? like zombie panic?

[3kliksphilip]

@Metinserver24 I've never tried. You can make maps for games on this, though you'll need coding knowledge to be able to make your own mod, and I'm sure you'll need to use more than just Hammer. I can't help with it.

[XXBlazeXXxx]

ok,so i made my map but it keeps saying error reliable snapshot overflow

[MakeTh3pOrn]

why can't you show how configure it ? without configure this video is a trash.

[3kliksphilip]

@MakeTh3pOrn Well, I did warn you in both the description AND the video that you should watch the video before it. But did anybody listen? No...

[woebaby]

Hahaha I'm aware this video isn't for me but it made me laugh loads at just how slow and patronising you are speaking. Sorry not meaning to be rude cause it's a really good intro but lol

[3kliksphilip]

@woebaby What's my new one like in comparison?

[michaeltrich]

@woebaby He's giving instructions, which are generally spoken in the imperative - so no he's not being patronizing.

[SuperMinorMiner]

stop allowing ads plz D:

[Drazon3312]

4:49 or if it is a small map, you can just start over =P

[PasswordOVER9000]

What button on the keyboard is the zed button??? I'm totally fucked. I have no clue what button to press.

[Sk8inLegend]

@PasswordOVER9000 lol dumbass  z

[Holyassassin7]

@PasswordOVER9000 lol ok dude, he isnt american, you see in america we pronounce Z zeeeeee, in english countries they say Zed for the letter Z. like so others will not think he is crazy.

[anneminkin]

@PasswordOVER9000 zen. Zen is Z in British i'm pretty sure.

[DJTryhardninja]

3kliksphilip you have Help'd Me heaps in my maps THank you very much :D

I love your videos thay have Help'd me THanks :D

[3kliksphilip]

@DJTryhardninja :)

[TheTybo100]

evry time i press enter it turns rainbow grid

[3kliksphilip]

@TheTybo100 Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying.

[reijoao2]

@TheTybo100 click on "View" and then "3D Textured Polygons"

[KIUBIX3]

@TheTybo100 press o

[thenishanth420]

is this 3D World Studio??? Looks really similar :D

[3kliksphilip]

@thenishanth420 If 3D World Studio is based on the quake engine, it might look the same since Source is distantly related to the Quake 2 engine.

[GTxxsnakeyez]

how do you get texture on anything and can you give me a link to the previus video

[3kliksphilip]

@GTxxsnakeyez Click on where it says CAMERA in the 3D view of your map, and choose 3D Textured Shaded Polygons. I have newer videos covering these topics now any way, simply go to my channel and look at the 4 most recent ones.

[punisher887]

Have you done Nokia C6-01 Review ?!

[3kliksphilip]

@punisher887 Nope

[punisher887]

@3kliksphilip /watch?v=JVLiFEDbozQ this guy sounds like you :o

[3kliksphilip]

@punisher887 Sounds like he's from England too

[punisher887]

@punisher887 thats also true.

[kallesbaksatt]

Philip, i cant see textures in my camera window. I can only see lines. Any idea how to fix it? :) (i can upload a video on the problem if you want)

[3kliksphilip]

@kallesbaksatt Read the description, or watch the video you were supposed to watch before this one, or the video you're supposed to watch instead of this one

[MoldyPotato1]

@3kliksphilip Everytime i click 3D shaded textured polygons nothing happens, it doesnt tick or anything :( anyway to fix this?

[3kliksphilip]

@MoldyPotato1 Move your camera around your level in the 3D view. You should be able to see the textures on the blocks you've made, provided your camera is outside the block you're trying to look at. Did you ask this on another video of mine as well?

[MoldyPotato1]

@3kliksphilip Nope its still all in Wireframe, the textured polygons box doesnt even have a tick next to it :( and no i didnt ask this on another video of yours :P

[3kliksphilip]

@MoldyPotato1 There won't be a tick or anything, it will simply change the wireframe to textures. It will still appear as wireframe if the camera is INSIDE the object. Try moving your camera to outside the object, and if the problem persists, upload a video of the problem and I'll take a look at it

[MoldyPotato1]

@3kliksphilip ah, it fixed itself, i was never inside the object it just was not appearing as textured but now it is, thanks for the help! :)

[STKPizzaboy]

Help me! D:

I need the VMF from a bsp and NAV..

[kallesbaksatt]

Plz HELP me!! You can see a "Camera window" - "front" - "side" and "top"-window. But i can only see 1 window and that is "front" window. i got one big window. Plz help me fix it to 4 windows!

[3kliksphilip]

@kallesbaksatt Watch my tutorial on the one window problem

[kallesbaksatt]

@3kliksphilip Thanks you god ive been stuck on that problem for over a year :P thank you thank you thank you

[Zombiegod95]

yea plenty of space might be the files or something that just goes black then takes me back to counter strike menu

[3kliksphilip]

@Zombiegod95 What is your map called?

[TheAdamsan1]

I need help every time i'm running my map it keeps on saying : SteamStartup() failed: SteamStartup (0xf ,0xoo12e584) failed with error 1 : failed to take master pipe connection lock. plz someone help me :s

[3kliksphilip]

@TheAdamsan1 Restart Steam

[Zombiegod95]

when i load map it goes black and takes me back to the main mneu

[3kliksphilip]

@Zombiegod95 Do you have a space in the map's name?

[Kidsownyou1]

Oh, yea I forgot to mention. Don't save your map like cs_test one can't put spaces when you save so cs_testone

[Kidsownyou1]

Add this note *Always test your game after almost every little detail!* Just so you don't build you game and say oh I added 100 props, etc and I don't know witch one is f'd up.

[FineGamerYT]

Wow you made ANOTHER one i found this one and i love it yet the other one helped me alot

[REXanadu]

Isn't Source SDK going out for free soon? I'll be excited to know when that happens as well as what Source has in store for us afterwards. It must be big, especially when they gave TF2, one of it's most profitable games in the past decade, out for free.

[3kliksphilip]

@REXanadu Apparently they're working on making the Source SDK easier to use. But the Source SDK should be free for anybody with a Source-based game.

[alienkilla22]

@REXanadu it already is

[HaydnM35]

This has helped me so much. Thanks!

[NinjaKittyLOL]

Say I want to make a map in which I press a button and a nuke goes off. How do I make the screen flash white?

[3kliksphilip]

@NinjaKittyLOL Try the env_screenoverlay, there are loads of different effects you can use for it.

[MrOnly1Man1]

Launcher:

run-time error "53"

file not found PLEASE HELP ME

[3kliksphilip]

@MrOnly1Man1 Did you buy the game or did you illegally torrent it? Also, the launcher for what? the game you're mapping for or Hammer? At what stage does this error come up?

[MrOnly1Man1]

@3kliksphilip cs 1.6 and i solved the problem --> but thx

[jacuiho]

hey philip

nice tutorial i was wondering.. are you useing camtasia studio 7 for this videos?

[3kliksphilip]

@jacuiho No

[kriz10and]

I CANT MAKE MY BLOCKS TEXTURED... :å

[3kliksphilip]

@kriz10and Read the description, or watch the video I recommend at the beginning of this one.

[piercedmarine14]

when i played the map on my css

everything was black and all i saw was my skybox

i did put a light in my level

[3kliksphilip]

@piercedmarine14 Upload the map's vmf file to the internet somewhere and PM me the link. I'll take a look at your map for you

[NinjaKittyLOL]

wait how do i make slippery surfaces?

[MetalstormX25]

Do you think you can make a tutorial to make the lighting similar to the game "Singularity"?

[NinjaKittyLOL]

Thanks, I promise, last question How do I make my maps downloadable by others?

[davorete]

why i see all wireframe? i cant see the textures

[TheCdacrew]

@davorete click camera and select view texture.

[davorete]

i see all wireframe i cant see the textures why?

[NinjaKittyLOL]

Few more questions. How do I make a bombsite A and B? I know you use trigger bomb target [I think] But an A and B? And how to make them show on the green radar? Then,Will it automatically give a terrorist a bomb or do I have to do something for that? KTHXBYE

[3kliksphilip]

@NinjaKittyLOL It will give them a bomb automatically if you make a bombsite, the first one you make will be A and the second will be B.

[NinjaKittyLOL]

Thanks man, Your very helpful.

[NinjaKittyLOL]

Do I only have to type it once for every time? Cause that would get really annoying.

[3kliksphilip]

@NinjaKittyLOL When you add a bot for the first time it will generate the navmesh for your level. After that, bots will join when you choose for them to start.

[NinjaKittyLOL]

Hey...How do I make [On CS:S] A map that cvan have bots.

[3kliksphilip]

@NinjaKittyLOL Type bot_add in the console.

[firedragonosis]

@3kliksphilip Does deleting Source SDK affect my games? Please reply.

[RatmanXX]

@NinjaKittyLOL "Type bot_add in the console." - but be patient, it will calculate bot-paths, sniper spots, etc...

[dibbiepk]

Can anyone send me a link for "skybox" for valve hammer editor 3.5? (non source SDK games like counter strike 1.6, ect) thanks in advance if you can find one for non sdk.

[Deathbrat1]

thanks alot really helpful

[midgar8784]

everytime i press enter when i apply the block it doesn't apply i even checked when i pressed the block tool and it won't create a block..

[3kliksphilip]

@midgar8784 I'm not sure what your problem could be then, sorry. If you could film yourself trying I might be able to see what you're doing wrong.

[midgar8784]

@3kliksphilip nvm i fixed it, some red box was around my map, a seethroughable red box and everytime i would apply a block out of the box, it wouldn't apply, so i disabled it.

[3kliksphilip]

@midgar8784 You mean... the cordon tool.

[midgar8784]

@3kliksphilip apprently so i guess, idk i don't use it :P

[Ldinos]

At the end of hl2 ep.2 when you are at the wall and stuck, you can't see behind you,only frond and a bit right and left. How can I block the camera but I can still move it?

[3kliksphilip]

@Ldinos Hmm, not sure, you could try the Point_viewcontrol entity.

[Ldinos]

@3kliksphilip I tried it, it blocks the camera but I can't move my mouse...:(

[3kliksphilip]

@Ldinos Hmm, I guess you could try decompiling the hl2 ep 2 map that you're talking about, and see how they did it :P

[Ldinos]

@3kliksphilip lol but I don't have hl ep2 XD

[skintrance94]

Fl Studio!!!!

[ThePhysicsGun]

You are God.

[oerkenenssoenner111]

Wow thanks

[SuperMinorMiner]

hah,funny,i watched this while it downloaded :)

[MrCrossfire101]

OMG HALP, I dont know how but the screens are now 2 HUGE screens any idea on how to fix this? Reply soon plz.

[3kliksphilip]

@MrCrossfire101 Maybe they're hidden. Watch my tutorial on the 'one window problem'

[MrCrossfire101]

@3kliksphilip Wow that was fast o.o

[MrCrossfire101]

@3kliksphilip Url? and that was fast

[MrCrossfire101]

@3kliksphilip URL? sry if i posted like 3 comments, Ben screwing up lately

[MrCrossfire101]

URL, sorry if i posted like 3 comments ben screwing up lately

[MrCrossfire101]

@3kliksphilip Lol I already screwed it up again...now I cant find the CSS option and how to you make hl2 maps? Dont see that one too.

[3kliksphilip]

@MrCrossfire101 Watch my tutorial on setting up Hammer, it's my 4th latest video.

[MrCrossfire101]

@3kliksphilip I found it but in the wrong order (messed up)

[MMinecrafTT]

i have half life 2 death mach but i cant use it.

do you know why??

[MMinecrafTT]

i have half life 2 death mach but i cant use him.

do you know why??

[96bmb]

hi how do i enable my grid? :P

[Thewowmaster666]

hi...when i play my map it says T  and ct is full...why?? pls help me..thx

[ultimatedude]

Creating ladders seems to be different now, any idea how?

[3kliksphilip]

@ultimatedude For any of the Half Life 2 games it is different, google 'half life 2 ladder tutorial' and you'll find guides. It involves having something at the top and bottom to say when the player can get off the ladder. It's a bit rubbish.

[ultimatedude]

@3kliksphilip ugh, great. I need to make an entire surface climable, using this CSS method would be much better. You cant stretch the HL2 ladders. It will be very unhandy to make ~10 ladders just for ONE climable surface

[FineGamerYT]

@3kliksphilip hey how do you get the orange gray grid type of thing because i want that for my map..You know the stuff in you 30 seonds water tutorial.

[kapacek95]

@3kliksphilip JUST PLACE A FUCKING BRUSH NAMED LADDER >< FOR FUCK SAKE

[3kliksphilip]

@kapacek95 You can't name brushes.

[kapacek95]

@3kliksphilip U DONT HAVE TO NAME BRUSHES TO MAKE A LADDER!!! USE LADDER TEXTURE FFS!!!

[cheatman05]

how did you spawn a person in 3:02 ? Because i can't spawn it when i click on the 3d view! (i can't use the entity tool, because it's a coloured block when i spawn anything with it...)

[3kliksphilip]

@cheatman05 Did you watch the video you were supposed to watch before this one? That one will show you how to change the big block into a man etc.

[K12machinima]

Anyone notice how similar this is to Doom Builder (current version)

[3kliksphilip]

@K12machinima Interesting you should mention that, Half Life 2's editor was very similar to Half Life 1's editor, which was based on the Quake engine, which happened to be made by the same people as the ones who made Doom previously.

[MrBlako]

Hey.

When I try to run my map in CS:S, it say's that the map doesn't exist?

Pls help, cause its damn irritating. :)

[3kliksphilip]

@MrBlako Do you have a space in the map's name? PM me the entire compilelog for the map (the text that appears when you compile your map in Hammer)

[MrBlako]

@3kliksphilip omg thanks! i just realised that made a space between.. noob mistake..

[Elementa96]

I was hoping that you could do one on looping levels. You see, I'm working on a train level for tf2 and I want the ground to move underneath the train, but there's not enough space in the editor to achieve the desired effect. I've seen it done before in tf2 and even mods like obsidian conflict, but nobody has a tutorial up for it. Could you please provide a little help?

[3kliksphilip]

@Elementa96 You could make the ground move, instead of the train. You could then spawn new chunks of land in front of the train and destroy the ones behind (to save frame rate). You won't be able to use displacements on it though.

Watch my tutorial on ELEVATORS, TRAINS AND TRACKS

[Elementa96]

@3kliksphilip Wow, why didn't I think of that? Thanks!

[Elementa96]

@3kliksphilip Wow, why didn't I think of that? Thanks! EDIT; I still don't know how to do that though. I thought I did, but sadly I don't.

[3kliksphilip]

@Elementa96 ...you can edit? And could you be more specific with your problem? I might be able to help.

[3kliksphilip]

@Elementa96 You could make the ground move, instead of the train. You could then spawn new chunks of land in front of the train and destroy the ones behind (to save frame rate). You won't be able to use displacements on it though.

Watch my tutorial on ELEVATORS, TRAINS AND TRACKS, and apply it to the scenery instead of the train. You can use a point_template entity to spawn more chunks of land.

[Elementa96]

@3kliksphilip That's what I needed to know; how to use point_template entities.

[3kliksphilip]

@Elementa96 Put the name of the entity you wish to spawn in the point_template's properties, then you can make it spawn them by pressing a button or what ever. In the outputs tab of a func_button, in the top 3 boxes, put...

onstarttouch

(name of point_template entity)

forcespawn

and it will spawn

[Elementa96]

@3kliksphilip Thanks! I'll contact you if I need any more information!
