Anybody know how to a dome like this?

Why is this ceiling completely black?
I've got 2 separate light_spots shining at the damn thing!

You're most likely using a prop texture for it.

Seems you were right, I was using the vertex texture of the black wall instead of the regular one.
Thanks man.
Everytime I try to carve an arch, Hammer crashes.
I'm trying to get a look like this:

Any other way I could achieve such a slick arch, instead of carving?

Never use carve for any purpose ever
Use the "arch" setting in the brush tool to make the arches.

This is what your brushwork would ideally look like:

Ah, I see now. I've tried using the arch tool before, but I seriously couldn't figure out how to use it. Thanks!

I've got another question now, though. Even if I compile my map, and I try to play it in in GMod, it plays the earlier version of the map I just compiled? :v:
There's probably something wrong with your map right now.
Post the compile log here.
[QUOTE="READ THIS"]brush 53504: floatplane: bad normal side 0 texture: tile/tilewall009b
Description:
One of your brushes has a face with a bad normal (a 'normal' is a oriëntation of a texture on a face).
Solution:
First see if the problemchecker in Hammer (alt+p) can find and fix it. If it can't, find the brush and fix it manually (usually it's best to delete it and start all over) or select the brush and "align to face" it in the texture-tool. You can find the brush using view -> go to brush ( 53504 ). The specific brushside will have the tile/tilewall009b-texture, though that may be multiple sides

You've got an error that's completely breaking vbsp and subsequently everything else. You'll have to fix it.

Brush 53504: FloatPlane: bad normal
Side 0
Texture: TILE/TILEWALL009B
Not sure what exactly the problem is but there is something wrong with brush 53504.
Go here:

And check out that brush. Remake the brush if necessary.
Apparently, it was the arch that had a problem with it's vertices. I built it again, and now it's fixed. Thanks, I couldn't have figued that out myself.

Gah, I got another error compiling. The Souce Wiki doesn't have anything on it.
Brush 15001: parsing U axis definition

I've had the brush for quite some time, what's the problem with this one?

I know that's what the brushwork should look like in the corners of the arch, but why? Is it the same principle of angling your T-junctions?
Removes additional faces. and reduces triangles.
Hey I'm having a problem with props not showing up when I run my map. I checked and yes the props can be used. I'm having a problem with a prop_static barrel not showing up and a prop_dynamic toilet not showing up. The model info tab says they can be used as such though.

Static and physics checked: physics only
Static and dynamic checked: Static or dynamic
[QUOTE=Firegod522;36415349]Static and physics checked: physics only

In addition:
If you want to make a physics-only model static, use prop_dynamic_override
If you want to make a non-physics model use physics, use prop_physics_override
[QUOTE=Firegod522;36415349]Static and physics checked: physics only

So if statics and physics is checked I [I]can't[/I] use it as static?
Okay i've basically mapped a planet in Source, however how would I go about area portalling this planet so that once you're outside of it , nothing within the planet gets "rendered" ? :o

That is correct.

Guys, aren't you supposed to seal of your map with func_brush? Because when I compile, it tells me a I have a func_brush leak. :tinfoil:
Anyone know how to see which content is missing when loading a bsp in gmod? I have the games, just installed on a computer other than this one.

You could try using an occluder
How would I use an occluder for the planets ?
EDIT: as the spheres of the planets are displacements and not brushes
[QUOTE=Firegod522;36416326]Only in the alienswarm version.
[/QUOTE]
What should I use then?
[QUOTE=Zovox;36416671]What should I use then?[/QUOTE]
Seal it tight with regular brushes
[QUOTE=JasonG5;36416468]How would I use an occluder for the planets ?
EDIT: as the spheres of the planets are displacements and not brushes[/QUOTE]
Occluders only hide models that are blocked by them. So basically you just make a sphere around the planet. (assuming you're making it like spacebuild). whether or not the occluder has to be hollow or not, I don't know that answer.

Opened my CS:S map today in Hammer that I haven't touched in 3-4 Months and all the entities are gone, I haven't compiled the map to see but i checked the entity count and it said 0.
All the Doors, props, lights, etc. are not there.
Sounds like it went corrupt. Why make a thread and ask in here? You could check your auto saves.
Well, I waited an hour and wasn't getting any responses, so i decided to give this thread a shot and well someone responded. >.>
Not what i would like to hear, but thanks.
Currently I am not using the computer that has the map files on it, but yesterday I checked and I couldn't find any auto-saves of the map that I've been working on for a good three months, which is reallllly weird.. Doesn't seem to be anything I can do; it doesn't make any sense to me.
-Time to start a new map.
