file

OK... Some weird things going on here. I have compiled and run a map and everything went fine. Now s**t has hit the fan, I tride to make a new map and I get a Steam error stating that it can not find the specified file. I set up the game configuration from here

http://www.valve-erc.com/srcsdk/Hammer/html/Manually_Config_Hammer.html

Then I set up the expert compile from here:

http://www.snarkpit.com/editing.php?page=tutorials&game=HL2&id=126

It hangs on the Copy file command.

Comand:

Copy File

Parameters

$path\$file.bsp $bspdir\$file.bsp

This is a Screen shot of the Game Configuration

Here is the Run Map command I have

Command Parameters
_____________ ____________

$bsp_exe $path\$file

$vis_exe $path\$file

$light_exe $path\$file

Copy File $path\$file.bsp $bspdir\$file.bsp

$game_exe -applaunch 320 -developer 1 -console 1 -map $file

I was able to run one map that I created before I used the current configuration, but since I created the new configuration I can not compile a new map and I get the following error:

You have a world brush textured with tools/origin. either delete the brush, retexture it, or include it in an entity as it is probably supposed to be.

I am still dumb as a rock .... (from my first post). I deleted the rotating door with the Orgin brush and the map compiled. I tried this tutorial for a rotating door

http://www.snarkpit.com/editing.php?page=tutorials&id=109

and I failed at getting it to work. I created a func_door_rotating with a distance of 90. Then I created a solid with a tools/toolsorigin texture and placed it inside the func_door_rotating entity. Where did I go wrong? The tutorial talked about binding the two together but I did not grasp that part. Is their some step I missed to bind the origin solid and the func_door_rotating?

OK .... I finally figured it out. You have to select the door and the origin solid then change both of them to the func_door_rotating entity. Ahhh... understanding is so much better.

Still dumb as a Rock,

You can do that...but actually since you can specify the origin in the new Hammer (the small white circle in the middle) I believe the origin texture is obsolete and only included for backwards compatibility...
