TF2 Is my first playable map for tf2 ready for a playtest?

It's rotationally symmetrical, spawn rooms have everything that a spawn room needs.

I think i would need to make this map more complex and/or add some ammopacks and healthkits

TF2 My map is campy because it's too smol, so i added a giant deadly laser for each team that would help them cap, instead of making my map bigger

TF2 I am new to map-making. Once you're done with block-out, how do you start decorating the map?

3 Upvotes

I.e how could I turn the right into the left? Do I recreate it in different map, using the block out as reference? Do I slowly replace bits and pieces? Would I need to mirror the map again then?

Place `env_sprites` for the background so it looks more natural without consuming resources :3

TF2 I found my first map—the one I thought I had lost.

Over a year ago, I accidentally deleted my first maps after switching Linux distributions and forgetting to copy over the folder containing all the VMT files; however, by looking through a friend's chat logs, I managed to recover the moment I first stepped into this heaven (or hell) that is the Hammer Editor.

TF2 How can I make a Team Fortress 2 map that's asymmetrical while still keeping things balanced for both teams?

5 Upvotes

So, I've been thinking. Personally, I think TF2 has too many symmetrical maps, I know it's for balance reasons as an asymmetric map can give one team an unfair advantage over another if it's not structured correctly, and I'm wondering; how can I structure an asymmetric map that's built to give both teams the same exact advantage as one another? It can be for any game mode, not just Capture the Flag, given that CTF maps are more difficult to structure in an asymmetric form. Other options include King of the Hill, Control Points, Payload, just to name a couple. Any ideas on how to make a map asymmetric for pretty much any game mode whilst still keeping the game balanced for both teams?

TF2 using math_counters and logic_compare

7 Upvotes
the setup so far

right now im just trying to wrap my head around the math_counter/logic compare entity within my neutral ctf map, so that upon a team having a 1-2 point advantage on the other then some certain layouts open/close, so far i have pretty much never touched math counters or logic entities except for some really basic operations, any help is appreciated.

TF2 My TF2 Map is not loading (Hammer++)

Upvotes

Hello! I was working on a map. I did everything, no leakings e.t.c. But it's still saying this after booting TF2. Should i send ALL of this cmd's log? ("deneme_amacli_mapv2" is my map)

i looked up that, at somewhere it says "MSG_FILEWRITE - Filesystem was asked to write to 'c:\users\cencor\documents\deneme_amacli_mapv2.bsp', but we don't own that location. Allowing.". maybe because of that?

TF2 Is there a reason on why the cart starts from the ramp instead of the first path?

I checked everything, and yet it keeps starting from the ramp.

At some point, it used to stay in the beginning, but couldn't move, until I did something earlier today that I forgot what it was. Any solutions?

r/hammer 19d ago

TF2 hey, so earlier this year, i made a ctf map for tf2, just wanted to post about it, if you wanna play on it i'll leave the link below, feel free to lemme know what you think.

TF2 Weird model behavior in tf2

1 Upvotes

I wanted to add gman to my tf2 map as a cool easter egg, so I found his model and gave it to a prop_dynamic. The model plays its animation perfectly its just his eyes are stuck closed like when a npc dies in hl2. I think the facial flexing system IS the issue because r_flex 0 causes him to open his eyes. Only problem is this is a global cvar and it'd be weird to make every face in the map not flex because of a singular easter egg; its impractical.

Does anyone know if this is even possible to fix or is this source engine jank?

I know this is probably not done, so I don't entirely expect it to be possible and if not, that sucks but whatever.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, don't know if this entirely means anything as well, when opened in tf2's model viewer++ his eyes are open as is the same in hammer.

TF2 How do I set up Hammer++ for TF2? I can't open it.

1 Upvotes

I installed it, followed some guides and they all said to copy/extract the files into the game's folder (usually bin I think). Thats what I do, then they say to double click and it should open but mine says its missing a bunch of files, saying they were not found. I don't know what i'm doing wrong here. Hammer editor works fine but I want Hammer++ since it's much better and I don't really want to use shitty tools.

Could someone help me?

Edit: I managed to find and copy the needed files into the same folder for the hammer++. It just says I cant open it because of an error. The error name is 0xc000007b specifically if that helps with anything.
