New Problem

[Gun-Ish]

Okay well i put in that text everyone said to do blablabla and i made sure my locations were right and i cant even open source sdk


Also by the way do i need Exterminatus 1?

And Half-life 1

[ChromeAngel]

No, you don't need rival species or half-life 1.

valve have been "updating" the SDK, which is causing me no end of hassle, by making my shortcuts and documentation out of date.

Some reading on these sites might help:

If only i could understand all that techinicall stuff u wrote in both my post

[ChromeAngel]

Bahl suggested to me that perhaps you could share some of your map design ideas/concepts in here while you're getting your head around the technical stuff?

And there is an IRC channel as well, for live communication.

What Chrome wrote in your posts was basicly this:
There is a problem, and you will have to wait until someone figure out to fix it, before you can map for Ex.

[Typheron]

MIGB your not helping and your being too agressive again.

[migb]

It certainly wasn't meant to be agressive, sorry if anyone interpreted it that way :?

[Typheron]

no worries, its the problem with text based communications, you cant really tag emotions and stuff to it to make it clear.

state facts and it comes out all authoritatian, but i digress.

Im afraid not, generally arround here you have yet to earn that privilage by completing some work for the project before we let you in. It stops hangers on who only want to get there hands on the game early and people who woudl possably leak the project.

Please consult this handy, dandy FAQ about whats needed and how things are done.

Can you draw map concepts/floorplans on paper and scan them?
Or concepts of the environment?
If yes, it could give the other mappers something useful to work from, even though you won't be mapping yourself. You will still be contributing that way.

[Typheron]

the best way is to first plan a game space using standard ideas like walls, so you create a layout that will play well (in theory)

then you add the terrain type to it, so you know you have to have some blockage here, its a wall on your sketch but in game its a huge fallen tree, that kind of thing.

plans help a lot when starting something like this up.

Emperor only knows we need all the maps we can get.
