Re: question about modding skinning and mapping
 

i'm not sure about this, because i only map. but you can make your own models with the most commen modeltools, like Maya.

I guess its a good idea. I think for models you need Source:XSI there was something about best character would get put in Aftermath but Im not sure.

okay ive got the programs but i cant seem to get the texture for walls to paste any help? ive tried the tutorial but it doesnt seem to help me.

Re: question about modding skinning and mapping
 

Well I find that when you are in the texture selection menu if you click right click on a wall it will automaticly paste the texture you've got selected. I know its not exactly what you wanted but its something. Im new to mapping with Hammer so I'll probibly be wrong sometimes.

Re: question about modding skinning and mapping
 

on modsonline.com under the download section of tuts fro Hl2 you can find a video tutorial called First room, when you look at that video all your first questions will be answered. it's the best way to get started with hammer, realy!

Maya sux , its totally useless for rendering scenes and its problematic in exporting stuff from it to hl2 or any other game, 3dsmax is the best tool for modelling right after Studio 4d (studio4d IS NOT used for games, it is used for adverts which use models, like cars on the bilboards)

Re: question about modding skinning and mapping
 

Ok I looked up XSI on google. Its IS the best moddling tool to go with when moddling for source mainly because Valve used it when creating Half Life 2. To be perfectly honest though unless your creating things like new tables and chairs, it would be much easier to re-skin the existing models using paint shop or something.

Re: question about modding skinning and mapping
 

i wanna make a new person entirely although it might be a bit looking like a newbie did it i will make myself like the guys in freshman map

Re: question about modding skinning and mapping
 

Oh then the chances are you won't even need a moddling tool. Just something to skin them with e.g Paintshop. Although Im beyond clueless how to get the skins on the characters when your done painting.

i have a problem with my first map im trying to test it but...it wont run when i click on the map in garrys mod and when i put up the console it says the map doesnt exist

Re: question about modding skinning and mapping
 

You might not have moved the map into the maps folder that Garry's mod uses. Its something like Steam/Steamapps/Sourcemods/Gmod/Bin/Maps I dunno im to lazy to check lol. You should probibly test it with the built in tester in the sdk. Its at the top next to that dodgy diamond thingy, it looks like a pair of handcuffs. Its really useful.

Re: question about modding skinning and mapping
 

okay its fixed, but now i have to update my graphics card...oy those stupid things are so annoying in case you dont know i have nvidia geforce 256 graphics card

Re: question about modding skinning and mapping
 

uhh yeah there is like 7000 different kinds lol. Chances are you won't need to go out and buy another card (espically a 256 meg gforce) the drivers will just be outdated since the source engine keeps upgrading, HDR is an example of this. if you go on the Nvida site they should have the latest drivers. I wouldn't know though since I get the drivers of PC Gamer disc's :)

Re: question about modding skinning and mapping
 

i tried the nvidia web site already and it says they cant find any software that goes with the update

Re: question about modding skinning and mapping
 

Im not really sure then.
Question: Does anybody know how to get a gunship to enter properly? I want it flying into this street I created so that the player has a enemy to run from. Alot like the Helecopter chase in the Airboat.

Re: question about modding skinning and mapping
 

no i dont but i have a question involving ropes and ragdolls how do you get the rope to hang by the head and not the back?

Re: question about modding skinning and mapping
 

Well I'd give ya an answer but I don't even know how to use them ropes lol! I'd don't think anybody else is posting here anymore. I actually finished a map - hurray, all I have to do now is figure out how to make the maps change at the end!

Re: question about modding skinning and mapping
 

Big Question which is really annoying me now. How do you get the Stunstick as a weapon instead of a Battery. I found models and code and placed them in my Mod folder but they don't work...
