How do I make maps for Condition Zero?

[8IronBob]

Well, I did have experience with the HL1 technology, it's basically the same as the Quake engine, since that's almost a direct port of id Software's technology rebranded for Valve. Source does one better, but mapping is almost the same. Most of the changes from Source appear to be mainly in-game, rather than in the mapping process. At least that's how I see it.

FYI: I live near baltimore so I'm going to try to make a map modelled after the Wire.

it's ambitious.. but hell... whats the point of doing something fun if there ain;t no ambition in it.

After downloading the Source SDK, I poked around quickly with some of the other tools listed. I take it one these will allow me to modify the "look" of the T or Counter T?

Dunno about you, but I always had an eye for doing some rather challenging, but easy to make maps myself. If you've played games like Quake 3 Arena, and Condition Zero maps like de_vertigo and as_oilrig, you know where I'm going with this. It's ones where if you don't watch your step, you'll fall an unending fall, you know those ones. Yeah, I'm hoping that Source will allow for maps like that, but I dunno... At least Condition Zero is based off the old technology that will allow you to build the whole outer cube with a sky texture, while having your play area be floating.

Yep, Hammer 3.5 works perfectly with CZ, I got that from FilePlanet already.
The Steam download version of Hammer is exclusive to CS: Source, however.

I tried 3.4 but like I said.. but when I installed it and ran it, I was getting these messages abot not having any textures and there were no entities available to me.

I finally figured out where to get the halflife.wad file so I could make rooms with different textures.. but I still couldn't figure out how to get hammer to give me a list of entities to choose from.

I would be nice to do maps for CZ... but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble now seeing as how I can just make source maps much more easily without any trouble at all... and source has so much better graphics.


... and I know what you mean about the random drops that make you fall forever. My first map I did that by accident when I was rearranging the walls, not realizing that the box I created had a ceiling and a floor. I deleted both not realizing what they were.. heh.
