Setting up hammer.

[kai]

Okay, I got this problem:

I'd like the point entity's to display a model in hammer in the 3D camera like in the following pictures.

A boar model is displaying for the msmonster_boar

msplayer_spawn displays the player

even Thothie's tutorial on setting up hammer displays msmonster_troll with a troll model in the view..



But for some reason when I load up hammer, I simply get these with my monsters point entity class.

simple red boxes.

Anyone know how to make hammer actually display the point entity class "default red boxes" as the model for that monster?

You need the Valve Hammer Editor v3.5 beta for the model support. You can get it here.

Much appreciated. But I am using 3.5 Beta, that's the weird thing.

I'm gonna try your download link at see if it works any different.

Ye also have to point the "Mod Directory" and "Game Directory" options in the Game Configuration Panel of Tools->Options so that they point to a folder with MSC in it, and the MSC subfolder in it, respectively, so it will know where to find the models and/or sprites.

Ah, wow! I can't believe I didn't try that. ><;

I was stoopid to neglect to do that. Haha.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi, kai.

If you're making a map, may I suggest you take the Elwood fragment you've made earlier from the WIP thread and incorporate it in your new map if possible. Would be nice to put it in good use...

That's actually what I did, believe it or not. xD

I took my old Elwood and had to CP it into my new map.

I've tried doing a test compile though to .. well. Test the map. Sadly I keep getting a weird error about monsters being outside the world or something. Not quite sure.

I figured after I get done applying textures to the map, I'd see if I could get the help of Thothie or another more experienced mapper.

Once I'm done putting up textures and so, I'll go further into detail about the compiling error I get.
