Make sure you run hl2dm once. JUST DO IT!

 

I tried it, but It wont work. I can start hammer but Empires txtures and objects wont apear.

 

You need to make sure Hammer is set up correctly.
Oh, and this belongs in mapping.

 

I did everything correctly but it wont work D:

 

Try run Hl2 dm AGAIN?

And why the hell doesn't ya own Hl2? It deserves to be.. bought.

 

Can you use Hammer with engine= episode 1 and config= HL2? If not, tough luck, you can't use it. Get HL2.

 

Omg, that is soo sucksors. I then must buy Half Life 2 :/

 

It's not that it's that expensive :p

 

Well it's not like they'll just let you use the assets of a game you don't own to create maps.

 

Yea you might just try to recreate the maps from pictures and run them in another game with the same engine, thus having the game for free... in a way


:p i am just joking

 

I actually have a ported, orangemapped version of Half-life: Uplink lying around here somewhere.

 

i have it too, good old days, i remember first getting to know halflife 1 trough the demo..

 

How can you have my version of HL: Uplink if i never released it? Unless you mean you have the demo.

 

Its not that it is expenssive, it just takes a long time for the game to arive. But I got it too work only now I got an error :S

ERROR


What does that mean and how do I fix it?

 

i misunderstood, i thought you meant you had the demo, "hl: uplink"

why is it orangemapped?

 

Because it's not finished yet. Anyway, i don't think we should continue to discuss this here, it's not about that map.
