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.

i tyred to put a crowbar in a map...doesn't work.

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.

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

ReNo, you're still awake?! Are you really in Scotland right now? It's early morning there already.

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

how about some screenshots

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

there have been several links posted on how and where to post screenshots.. even more threads on what procedure in creating them.
look in some of the recent replies for the link.

Add the map to your profile and then upload some pictures - easy :smile:

Ok, I just uploaded some screenies of my new map. (98% complete now, thanks to everyones help. Thanks for the tip, ReNo. It's called DM_City14. Any and all comments welcome. I'll upload the map in a day or two.
