viewing models and entities in 3D views

I have two FGD files for Half-Life. One titled "Half-Life_351" and "Half-Life_352".
One of them lets me see the models for monster entities in WorldCraft but other
entities such as lights are still solid blocks. And the other fgd is the other
way around, entities like lights have icons to tell them apart but monsters are
solid blocks. Is there a way to combine these two fgd files so that I can both
see monsters and entities? That would be cool.

If it helps, here are the fgd files I'm talking about: http://www.mediafire.com/download/gogco97k7kc5l37/Half_Life_expert_FGD_files.rar

not every model (cycler, mainly the large ones) which i have to say bothers me.
Im not sure why is that you missing some icons but have in mind that not every poses one, some are blocks with writing on them.
Here is link to same exact HE im currently using with that fdg.

Oh, you're very welcome. Glad I could help you.

About the entities in the 3D messing up, that only happens when
you load a new map. It's rather annoying, but at least it works.

That means it works now for you? You are able to see monsters and another entityes?

Unfortunately no. I was such informing you that the entities tend to screw up with this FGD when you load a new map. I'm still trying to figure out how to see monsters as well as entities.

Oh, yes. It did. But the link you gave me didn't work.
It takes me to http://www.filedropper.com, but removes the "/setuphammer351en_1" string at the end, so I'm unable to download anything.

Long story short, something went wrong with Half-Life so I re-installed
a new copy of the game that I bought. It works perfectly fine and the directory it
was installed in is the same as the last one. But now models aren't showing up
in Hammer. Other entities like lights and such show up but monsters are back to
looking like blue squares.
I don't know what happened. Everything is still the same except for an older
copy of the game, but that shouldn't change anything. The paths are the same, too.
What do.

hey Vissova
All right.
few steps comes in my mind before i will start bashing my head into the wall.

Be assured you choose correct type of game whne you oppening a map
If you have set more halflife modes Hammer asks you which mode you want to work with.
Also more FDGs can be add for each mode
(for example i use OP4.FDG combined with 351.fdg it allows me to see more)
not sure if it may produce any trouble later guess not

Change FDG, try different types and come back to that current you send me 351.FDG
( putting it here just to be sure http://www.mediafire.com/download/eyel5r4ssnv7xpf/half-life_351.fgd )

In another folder install new Hammer (use links in this article if u not sure which to install)Make it all new. This combination must work for sure

Maybe something will come to me or someone from existing members of Snark can help

let me know

Let's Rock'n'Roll

Nah. Combining fgds doesn't work nor does the one you gave me.
I had already tried using a new Hammer editor which did nothing.

I know I'm not giving you much to work with, but I have no idea what could have
gone wrong. The game configuration is the same, the only thing that changed was
the version of the game.

Me neither im sorry

The links presented here make combination that works for me.
Hl version 1.1.2.0
Anyhoe, dont think its substantial
To see or not to see, that is the question and according to my considerable narrow knowledge it is the matter of FDG and HAMMER combination.

Happy Halloween man

Let's Rock'n'Roll

Well, I guess it's not that big a problem.
As long as I can see more important things like
light entities and the like, it's all good. I'm
sure I'll get the models to show up eventually.

Happy Halloween to you too

I fixed it!
The model and sprites folders in the Hammer Editor folder had nothing in
them. Putting models in the model folder and sprites in the sprite folder
fixed the issue.

[quote=vissova]I fixed it![quote]

superb
I keep that solution in mind for later
Are you working or preparing working on something for HL?
If you have something do not hesitate to show in future.

A lot of the time I begin a project, like a mod, but lose interest. But
right now I'm trying to recreate something I saw in a dream. So far it's going
okay.
