how do i select just one face of a box? i can only select the whole box at a time...






P.S. My facility mission is coming along just nicely! I'm still a long way from finishing, but everything seems to be going fine so far!

First you'll want to choose UNGROUP

Then you'll have to switch to texture application mode (6th box from the top on the left where your buttons are, I think) - this will allow you to apply a texutre to one single face.

thanks for the info, but, when i compile my map (well, box, lol) and open the .bsp in crafty, my textures dont appear, but rather this happends......



am i compiling it correctly?

[Dragonsbrethren]

You need to add -wadinclude GE.wad to csg_exe's parameters.

Also, that map hasn't had its useless geometry removed, did you include a start point inside it?

how do i go about adding "-wadinclude GE.wad to csg_exe's parameters, and remove the maps useless geometry?

And is this what you mean my start point? I clicked the entity tool, and created a prefab, (Categories- Entities, Objects- info_player_start) and clicked in my "Map" and created this little green box. Is that what you mean?

[Dragonsbrethren]

Yes, that's a start point, move it up so it's entirely inside the map though (It usually doesn't make a difference as long as most of it's in the map, I model so small that a part of mine usually poke out through the floor or ceiling no matter what).

For csg_exe, just click on it and add -wadinclude GE.wad to the end of the string in the parameters box.

[flopperr999]

okay, so I raised the start point in the map, and I added "$path\$file-wadinclude GE.wad" to csg_exe's parameters, but I'm still getting the same result in Crafty. (That multi colored box, with it's faces different colors). I think you forgot to tell me how to remove the useless geometry, unless "$path\$file-wadinclude GE.wad" removes useless geometry. (I doubt it, because the -wadinclude GE.wad is the textures, no?) Does not removing useless geometry affect the visual on the .bsp in Crafty? If adding $path\$file-wadinclude GE.wad doesn't remove the useless geometry, how do I do so?

[Dragonsbrethren]

CSG is supposed to remove it, you need a start point so it knows where to start, otherwise it'll just leave everything in place. I don't know what problem you're having, you're opening the .bsp in Crafty right, not the .map or .rmf?

[flopperr999]

well, funny thing about that. For all the maps (boxes, with applied textures) ive made in hammer, then compiled them, (not the way you recently told me how to), and clicked open in Crafty, there was a .bsp map to open. Now, (using the way you told me how to compile) when i click open in Crafty, there is no .bsp map to choose from. It could be what you told me to do that makes no .bsp map appear, but more likely, it could be the fact the i could if accidentally changed one or two settings, causing no .bsp map to be created. Are these all the check fields that need to be checked?



P.S. Any other suggestions? I mean, any other suggestions on why no .bsp map is created?

[Dragonsbrethren]

You should have a space between file and -wadinclude, otherwise that should work. Post your compile log.

Does that look okay?

[Dragonsbrethren]

Yeah, everything seems fine.

[flopperr999]

Well this stinks. Thinking it could have somthing to do with the problem, I removed my Crafty from my computer, and redownloaded Crafty v1.0.0 Alpha 14. (The one in your "Hammer Information Roundup" thread). By doing this, I basically just took a step backwards. When I click Open in Crafty v1.0.0 Alpha 14, there is no .bsp map to choose from. Take a look...



Now the type doesn't read as .bsp, .map, or .obj, but Half Life 2 Level, and Quake level and stuff!

Any ideas?

[Dragonsbrethren]

Open Crafty, go to Setup -> Profiles -> Half-Life. It defaults to Half-Life 2 when you first run it. That "Half-Life 2 Level" is your .bsp, HL2 uses the same filename.

To solve the problem with filenames open any window (In Windows) and go to Tools -> Folder Options, click the View tab and scroll down until you see "Hide extensions for known file types," uncheck that.

[flopperr999]

Okay, that solved that problem, BUT, (unfortunately, yes, there's another but...) now when i open my .bsp, nothing appears! I can still move around (accoring to my camera coordinates), but it reads that I have no World Polygons or Model Polygons!
