Mapping Q&A

[jenos]

New problem, after the css update, or garrys mod (i havent mapped in a long time) ttt.fgd has no longer worked, meaning, there are no ttt weapons, nothing like ttt_logic_role or ttt_traitor_check, i got the latest version, put it in the correct place, and it wont work.

The CS:S update moved it to the orangebox engine (Source 2009 or something) so maybe you have to redo your hammer config (and reset your source sdk launcher game configurations, stuff like that). I don't think there's anything wrong with the FGD, nothing has changed in that area with the CS:S and gmod updates.

[jenos]

noob question: what would i reset it to, i cliked reset game configurations in sdk, how do i redo my hammer config? its been awhile since i last messed with sdk settings and hammer properties.

Oh and when i say they dont work, i mean, when i make them, they are "obsolete"

[Bad King Urgrain]

If they show as "obsolete" that doesn't mean anything, just that hammer doesn't know which icon to use. They will work in-game.

[jenos]

well, when i double click them, it shows alot different then before, and if i were to makeone, like ttt_logic_role, there would be nothing on the panel to change the settingss for, it would just be blank, the ttt_'s dont show upp in the drop down list either.

and they do work still, but i cant add more, thats the problem.

[Bad King Urgrain]

Right. In Hammer, go to Tools -> Options. There in the Game Configurations tab, there is a list of FGDs  under "Game Data Files". Hit Add there and select the ttt.fgd.

[jenos]

Thank you, it worked.

Hey, I've been searching google for an answer on this question but couldn't find any. I'm working on a custom map for TTT and when I try to add weapons it shows these errors, like big red letters saying ERROR. When I test my map it works perfectly but in Hammer it's a big bunch of Error pancakes.

- I have Counter-Strike Source installed.
- I have played it more than once.
- I added the TTT.fgd to the Game Data Files, cstrike.fgd is in the list too.
- I tried opening the map in Hammer Editor with the Counter-Strike Source config but also there it showed a big bunch of errors.

Is there a way to solve it?

My friend hasn't got this problem

[Bad King Urgrain]

Could you try starting Hammer for CS:S, begin a new map, and add some CS:S weapon entities to it? Just as if you were making a CS:S map so to speak. See if the models work there.

I resetted the game configurations for the Hammer Editor and the CS:S models and all the others work perfectly fine, I'll try and see if I can add the Half Life 2 FGD.

---Edit---
Everything seems to be working apart from one custom texture from Gmod, I'll just replace it. Thanks for the help.

So hammer hates me.

Can i use an older engine version when i run hammer? This would make me not use Ep2 though.
I ask because on the 2009 engine with Ep2 hammer freezes within 2 mins of it being open.
The 2007 engine tells me i have no game configurations to run with for Ep2.
The 2006 engine with Ep1 has no grids.

The 2006 with HL2 runs fine. Can i use this to map for TTT? Or will it be some kind of issue?

Edit: This was talked about like 2 pages before and you didnt know how to fix it but.. I cant see any of the ttt weapons in hammer(they are errors), maybe its cause im on the old engine. But anyone have any ideas?

Edit2: So after messing around i got css to show up as a game i could pick. This let me see css stuff in world view. But that still crashes for me, so whatever.

All i want to know is can my map still be played if its made in the 2006 engine under HL2?

It looks like for some reason either your ttt_roundtime_minutes or ttt_haste_starting_minutes is set to 0.

This is odd because the game won't save those convars, so they would have to be set to 0 in your /garrysmod/cfg/listenserver.cfg config file.

[kobold_commander]

ttt_debug_preventwin 1

[Bad King Urgrain]

Strange. I just tested with those exact settings and had no issues. Does this happen when you start the game through "Create Multiplayer" as well as "Play Singleplayer"?

It might also be related to an addon somehow.

[Citizen_001]

Try downloading the latest version and reinstalling?

[kobold_commander]

ok, i emptied my addons folder and ran the game again, it works now. thanks for the help

I have an idea for a map, but I'm not a mapper. I don't know if it's possible.

So take the last map of The Passing.

Condtion for the win of the Innocents :
-The necessery gas are collected
-All the traitors are dead

If one of these conditions aren't done, it's a draw.

For the traitors, the innocents must die.

I hope it's clear what I say. :)

[Bad King Urgrain]

It's not possible. Rounds end when all innocents or all traitors are dead. You can make them end earlier using the ttt_win entity, but you can't make them end later.

Rounds also can't end in a draw.

[Psyence]

So if the innocents do no objective, the traitors win.
