There's a decompiler out there made by some Russians. We've ported most props to MI, some might be in different directories.

Do you know a way for me to transplant entities from one map to another? Let's say for example the ship in E3 Docks, which is made up of 3 models and many pieces of func_detail. Is there a way to move the whole ship from the e3 docks map to my e3 town map?

CTRL + C, CTRL + V.
Might want to add a CRTL + G there, just to group everything together.

Are you saying that if you have 2 different windows of Hammer open with 2 different maps loaded in them, you can copy an entity from one window and paste it to the other? Because it won't work on mine, I've tried before.

It's always worked that way on my end. 2 maps open and ctrl c v to the other.
Not two hammer.exe, just 2 maps.

In a way yes, just open the first map. CRTL + C, then open the next map, CTRL + V.

Hey jimonions, how do you open two maps without clicking hammer.exe twice?

by **Harper137** on Mon Apr 14, 2014 7:50 am

Wait, nevermind I figured it out. So ScarT, were you thinking of the model v37 importer by bob the builder when you said theres decompilers out there?

What do you do when you have a prop model that has a blank white skin and you do not know where to find the skin for it?

In my case, it's with pipe pieces (for ex: pipe01_45degree; pipe03_straight_long; pipe02_yjoint02). The ones with skins each include 3 different skins but some random pieces don't have any, so I have an idea of what the skin would look like.

And also, how do you stop/disable a soundscape after it's activated? I've tried using trigger_onces, but I'm messing up.

by **LordDz** on Sat May 03, 2014 10:59 am

trigger_once
onstarttouch
trigger_soundscape_named_bob
disable

Also don't triple post

Why am I getting a blank white skin with some static props?

Source MDL Texture Info (scroll down to find it)

Useful app that you can drop your mdl into to find out its texture paths. Then you can find out if they're missing or if it's pointing to the wrong location.

I want to move away from my e3_town map to talk about my e3_industrial map real quick.
With this other map, I made some changes in Hammer, compiled, and played the map to test it out. After this, I started working again in Hammer, compiled, but for some odd reason my map didn't display any changes. Ugh... so I thought maybe if I renamed the map it would change it, but when I did that, it wouldn't compile. It told me command failed: "The system cannot find the file specified."
I'm guessing this was because of 'leaks', which I know little about. Now, I removed some of the changes (which was making some func_physboxes motion disabled, and turning a cycler into a prop_static), and the map compiled with the changes! So I don't know what's happening. Here's my log:
