[masonrulz]

[Firegod522]

Use the 0.22 version of propper.

[masonrulz]

intertesting. now when i spawn a propper entity (there are MUCH fewer of them now) its values are in smartedit, and they are shown as obsolete signs....

[Firegod522]

Restart hammer.

[masonrulz]

ok, i found out that that versions of proppers entities are named differently. i try compiling it with the edited vbsp, and itdos the same thing that happened when i ran the newer version through it. that version also has a ton of less editing options, so im working on making the newer version now. anyone know what might be causing this?

EDIT;
this is the putput i get when i compile it from within hammer

Bump, I seriously need help with this :/

[Firegod522]

You downloaded the orangebox version right?

[masonrulz]

I downloaded ALL versions from the wiki.

[Zolofto]

[QUOTE=masonrulz;24816274]I downloaded ALL versions from the wiki.[/QUOTE]

Did you install every version?

[masonrulz]

Yes, I merged the downloaded version of the sourcesdk folder into my sourcesdk colder as it told me. I have the entities and everything as well.

[masonrulz]

Bumpty bump bump :/

Here is what you do for Propper. Do not make a MAP but make your prop with Propper and then add the OP\ptions entity and if you want it to be a physics prop, add the physics entity. Do not create a map and then the props and have the entities required. I am not really fully understanding what you are saying, but this is where I am coming from.

Google Propper and find the Wiki page on how to do it. Also, if you check my youtube page soon I will have a tutorial up on it for the propper.

My new mega map has a LOT of physics props in it so I use propper quite often for I cannot work Milkshape for my fucking life lol.

If you need more help or more defined help, add me on Steam. Username SiloSloth
