how to save map to use it in game? -.-

[mattdawg420]

@Dreamspenser Press F9 - it will compile the map. Then run TF2 and Create a Server and select the map from the list.

I quite honestly don't like to make them blocks after blocks, I use one block and the clipping tool :). It's a little bit slower when you also have to add the Clip but I think it works well. Another thing though, The heads bob up and down on stairs like that don't they? Or is that just Half life 2?

[mattdawg420]

@darkknightstudios88 That is not a bad method as well, and actually would make the map file smaller. But this series was mostly a basic of how to do this sort of thing. From people that have new used anything like this sort of concept. That being said, I am reworking all of the videos in HD on a DVD that will cover a bit more. And you mean like does your character bounce a bit up and down the stairs? I think they do, TF2 is built on the HL2 engine.

@darkknightstudios88 Valve recommends using a player clip ramp on top of the stairs to smooth it out.

[mattdawg420]

@kevinlech Yeah use clip walls when were you can.
