Ok i finally got the camera to work in CSS - you need to add in the data files from HL2.

but my screens screwed up, the texture is aligned in the middle (the left part of the acreen is the right and vice versa- fitting the texture zooms it in on a tiny section of the screen and re-aligning it seems to be a very long game of trial and error - is their an easier way of ensureing that the screen lines up with the brush?

Ok, I have a question. I read this tutorial. I made a camera and a tv screen exactly like on this tutorial. I am mapping for hl2dm btw... Anyway, I just didnt use the g man. Now in my game I dont show up in the camera. Is there anyway to fix this? I've seen it done on the mpa building blocks _ final. I know for a fact it must be possible. Also, I have a very newbish quesiton. (plz dont kill me) How do I tie enitities such as a point_camera to a solid so that whenever I move the (lets say) solid camera (the actual physical one) the point eneitity moves flawlessly with it?

Try checking none of the entities have red target and name fields, also use the parent field to move things with other things,

Very good tut easy to understand and all. But i got 1 question. When im having more Cameras the TV's still show only what is seen with the firt camera. I renamed the TV's (Wall brushes) and used the info_camera the right way but i still can only see whats shown on camera 1.
Anyone know why?

To get it to work in cs:s you gotta use a fgd other than the default. i found this tutorial <a href="http://csm2.net/forum/index.php/topic" target="_blank">http://csm2.net/forum/index.php/topic</a>,53.0.html which with the fgd suggested in that thread you simply have to change the tv from being func_wall to func_monitor. other than that i believe the rest is the same. The direct link to the fgd is <a href="http://www.editlife.net/files/customfgd.php" target="_blank">http://www.editlife.net/files/customfgd.php</a> . Hope that helps.

Actually you can make a camera setup in hl2dm hammer and copy/paste it into your css map and it will work.
