Hello people. I am a new user on the forums, so I just wanted to introduce myself. I do a lot of mapping for games like insurgency, and garrysmod. But this is the kind of game that requires the type of maps I like to do the most. Now that my insurgency project is finished http://forums.insmod.net/index.php?showtopic=11403, I will start a new project for empires (once I get hammer working.) I applied for the position of mapper a while back, but was denied because I could not download some content (I did not have the hardrive space) So, anyways. Now that the new version is out, I decided I may as well start mapping for it. I am currently having some trouble with hammer (it is not starting from source SDK) so i may not get started for a while.
I'd love to see some screens, we really do need a few more maps to add diversity to the lineup of the ones we have allready annyways
cool beans :D judging from your insurgency map, I look forward to seeing what you can do with empires :D
I would love to get started on the map that I have in mind. Does anybody else have this problem with hammer, if I go into task manager/processes I can see it, but I cannot use it, it just sits there taking up CPU power.
That did fix my last problem, but now hammer is just not starting, plain and simple. No matter what engine I use.
have you either verified the cache thingy or tried refreshing the sdk content? they're fairly much the 'turn it off and on again' solutions but you never know
good luck! be imaginative- empires battles can be set in any location on earth, from industrial to bombed out cities, to wide taundras or desert and lush jungles. it's all up to you.
