Is there a way to remove World Props? - Developers

I have an awesome map with some shitty props in it that I would like to remove. Is this possible? The props in the map seem to be bound to the world.

Unbind them and remove them do you have the bsp file? if not then decompile the map

Decompiling and recompiling a map generally fucks up the map and gives you far lower FPS in game. Just use entspy to remove said props.

[QUOTE=swampie;20725362]Unbind them and remove them do you have the bsp file? if not then decompile the map[/QUOTE] Make sure you get permission from the person who made the map before you decompile it and edit it.

Lighting won't go if you do use entspy and remove the props. So you might have big shadows of lightposts or something when you remove the static props.

[QUOTE=Legend286;20725639]Lighting won't go if you do use entspy and remove the props. So you might have big shadows of lightposts or something when you remove the static props.[/QUOTE] Remove the props then run only VRAD again (you can drop the BSP on VRAD.exe and it should recalculate lighting)

Re download it

[QUOTE=Firegod522;20745586]Run the java file, not the .bat[/QUOTE] How do I know if I have java script to run it? I tried clicking on that. [editline]03:38PM[/editline] Arent just about all good maps protected?

Not all of them. If you don't have java installed then get it.

Okay, wait, so which one do I run? oh hey, I got it, whoo0t, stay posted as I test this thing out please. [editline]03:59PM[/editline] Alright, I found the map, which setting in Hammer do I change view to to see what the map looks like when it's not in wireframe and other view modes, how do I view it normally? Been a hwile since i used hammer

In the 3d view click on camera and press 3D textured

edit: YOU FUCKING NINJA

There is error boxes everywhere! Which view is the regular camera view? I need to be able to view the props so I can remove some of these pesky low rez chairs but everything looks like an error. [editline]04:18PM[/editline] Everything looks transparent in the texture view, how do I remove the error boxes? They seem to be props but they aren't loading. [editline]04:20PM[/editline] Okay, figured out how to remove the errors. What will happen if I remove all the error props?

The error models are missing models you don't have. Depending on which games are needed, you have to run hammer using that game config.

[QUOTE=Firegod522;20747007]The error models are missing models you don't have. Depending on which games are needed, you have to run hammer using that game config.[/QUOTE] how do i run it in cs

Counterstrike or counterstrike:source? If you're using CounterStrike:Source then in sourcesdk go down to engine>episode 1. Game>CounterStike:Source.

[QUOTE=Firegod522;20748069]Counterstrike or counterstrike:source? If you're using CounterStrike:Source then in sourcesdk go down to engine>episode 1. Game>CounterStike:Source.[/QUOTE] sec, stay posted, let me check. When oyu say engine, oyu mean engine version right? I'm on engine version and CS is there to select. I double clicked Source SDK in my tools and I saw this option in the menu that grants options to open Faceoser and Hammer. Am I in the right area? I own the CS game but I odn't have it as an option. DO I have to install something?

Like I asked, CS or CS:S? If its CS I have no idea.

[QUOTE=Firegod522;20748504]Like I asked, CS or CS:S? If its CS I have no idea.[/QUOTE] I don't even know the difference. Let's just go with CS.S

[img]http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/1812/csst.png[/img] Source SDK should look like that when you load hammer. If you don't see CS:S either reset game config, or run CS:S.

Wait, reset gamconfig or run CS? Explain please. I have CSS and i don't hav that option avaliable in Hammer. How do I reset game configuration. When you say run CSS you mean launch it once?

Its on SourceSDK. Please look next time. This is simple stuff.

[QUOTE=Firegod522;20752124]Its on SourceSDK. Please look next time. This is simple stuff.[/QUOTE] Damnit, Fire, this isn't simple. I can't figure out how to enable CS.S. The option isn't avaliable and your methods in refreshing the SDK content and running CS don't work. I really appreciate your help but you're not telling me exactly what to do. I tried both of those things and judging from some other methods you have to create some sort of path for it to work. It doesn't come included with SDK, I need to enable it somehow by adding it to the configures. The tutorials I read aren't helpful enough in explaining how to do it. I need some real help with this. You have it working as I assume you know exactly ho to do it. If you could expain in detail I would appreciate it. Please.
