    and I'm trying to get a quick test map to run, but nothing starts, what do you have for game executable? hl2 (from which directory) or vbsp as the manual oddly suggests.

    I'm messing with the editor first, and then I'll do a simple conversion of sava, probably. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    First thing I noticed: It completely ignores wad files >_> even if you set the game configuration to read them...

Until this issue is resolved, check the don't run the game after compiling flag in the Run Map dialog.

    Follow these steps to run your compiled map after you've compiled it in Hammer:

      1. Compile your map with the Run Map feature in Hammer. Make sure don't run the game after compiling is checked.


      2. When the map has finished compiling, open the directory where you map is saved. For example:

          C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\username\sourcesdk\cstrike_sample_content\maps

          Where username is your Steam Login name.

      3. Now copy the <mapname>.bsp file to the Counter-Strike maps directory using Windows Explorer or a Command Prompt. For example:

          C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\username\counter-strike source\cstrike\maps


      4. Run Counter-Strike via the Steam menu.


      5. Open the console and type:

          map <mapname>

      6. Your map should load in the game.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    contenders, mount your... barrels?

    edit: No Half Pipe, but i solved the barrel issue below.

    <img src='http://img120.exs.cx/img120/9171/de_race.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

    It actually works prettty well, though i need to find something flatter and larger than the barrel or plasma TV, normally you fall off about 3/4 of the way <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Here is how i did it:

    1. I created by room and filled it with a couple dozen physics_cannisters. When you "kill" one of these, it starts flying around like a can of compressed gas, when it gets hit again it explodes.
    2. I picked their world model to be a barrel.
    3. I turned their damage and radius down a bit, so most of them survived the first shot.
    4. I played with the rest of the settings like the thrust.
    5. Compiled and Ran.

    Maybe I used a bad model, but when I added one lets just say its not good to toss a nade at a glwoing error sign <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/nerd-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Hammer seems quite beyond me. Never mapped before but i want to make a room full of things to blowup and push around. From my "Understanding" after readying bits of the documentation to insert barrels and things you insert them as prefabs. Although when i try to insert a prefab the list is empty.. why? how do i fix it?

    those are prop physics... which are point entities, not prefabs
