 Re: Weapon questions

I have a few questions. My map is 95% done and I was wondering before I finish...

What weapons spawn on the player when a regular HL2DM starts? Reason I want to make entirely sure is because in Hammer, there's an option for the physgun. In the original HL, if I can remember correctly, all a player spawns with is a crowbar, but when I test my map, I have a pistol, SMG, Physgun, Grenades, etc. Is this the norm for HL2DM? Sounds like a stupid question, but i'm submitting my map for the Valve contest and I need to be sure. Never ried a HL2DM on the internet. I'm typing this on a computer other than the one I use for editing which has no internet connection. Also...

Are there any weapon or ammo problems/issues in Hammer, as far as one or some not working correctly?

Thanks.

I am certain that for HL2DM, every player spawns with the physgun (default weapon), a pistol (with 150 bullets), a SMG (with 45 rounds), and two frag grenades. No crowbar is provided by default, and unless the server allows flashlight, it's disabled. [addsig]

Yeah, I was wondering that about the crowbar. I thought i'd heard that somewhere before. Thanks for the info fellas.

That's too bad. There's nothing more satisfying than to bash the head open of another player with a crowbar. The barbaric act enriches the soul in the most primal way. [addsig]

Sounds a bit silly that you are entering a mapping contest, for a game you have never even played

I' ve finished the single player portion a long time ago. I played HL1 for a few years and made a few maps, one of which was put on a CD for a computer magazine, so I would say that i'm familiar enough with the gameplay, enough to enter a contest at least. Not that I stand a chance in hell of winning, but I think my map looks pretty good. Of course, why wouldn't I think that, it is my map after all.

But I gotta tell ya. I am glad it's almost done. Took me the better part of a month to complete the thing.

I would, but I don't have an FTP site. I'll see what I can do.
