Dude you really helped me with this :D - I love how you don't assume everyone knows how to do things like finding models, and that you explain every step! I really hope to see this series continue
the amount of times that i thought "nobody will notice" and "it'll be fine" while placing arms is imaculate. find just one map I made and there will be too many colliding armwalls. also my brain finds pleasure from resizing test chambers so details line up
Nice tutorial, thank you ! If I may ask for one thing, could you turn your microphone volume up? I had to turn it up to hear you, and then my ears exploded when you previewed the soundscapes. Heh. Thanks for showing me how to make this kind of map, btw. I wasn't really looking for a tutorial on this specifically, but the more you know™
Is it possible to recreate the container ride from the first chapter? I already saw on the dev comments that it took calculating programs and things like that, but would it be possible to script and import the physics data?
I was planning to do that actually! I am just delayed because of technical issues. I plan to do a clean test tutorial, then continue that test in another tutorial that covers overgrown maps.
@@bean1249 check in the model viewer if you selected the ones with collisions or not. There are ones with collisions which are for direct interactions for the character (where you don't fall through) and some which don't have collisions and are visually cheaper. Last ones are meant for places the player can't reach and just can see from distance.
@@asmylia9880 Thank you for responding! I managed to fix it as I found that I was using prop_static, and when I changed it to prop_dynamic everything worked out. Enjoy your day :)
Most test elements in the vents are animated props, but since these are only good for very specific arrangement of the tubes, it is recommended to make prop_physic be transported through the tube with the help of trigger_push brushes that will be placed in the tubes, like done in the Pneumatic Diversity Vent test element.
Alten, I wouldn’t recommend doing that, since the banging of cubes against the pipes can be loud, and it runs the risk of them getting stuck, causing the pipe to clog up and ultimately crash the game. Here’s a tutorial on how to do it with path_tracks: ua-cam.com/video/BIQsk8Pum8M/v-deo.html
Arachnaphob Awesome! I'm on the mapping team :D I'm still trying to improve in Hammer, so thanks for the tutorial, great job! There were a lot of details that I didn't consider before :D
How can you see just models from far away? I can see Model color cubes from far away and just models closer. Are there controls or settings to fix that?
I know this is old, but I just want to say I admire this person using correct models for correct things.
100% Agree
yeah, i always accidentally use the lod1 ones or walkways that are for different places lol
vertex textures are hammer's version of infested stone blocks

i'm very thankful for this tutorial because i never realised how easy it was to make a nice level :)
the amount of times that i thought "nobody will notice" and "it'll be fine" while placing arms
is imaculate.
find just one map I made and there will be too many colliding armwalls.
also my brain finds pleasure from resizing test chambers so details line up
cool tutorial but your audio could be louder. i can barely hear you.
While the game is so fucking Loud
turn volume to 30 or a bit lower, it helps
The sad thing is that only 93 people subscribe you. You are so much awesome and great you should have thousands of subscribers. Great tutorial.
AdekSlime Thanks so much!
+Arachnaphob please make a tutorial to make props go through the vents
Nice tutorial, thank you !

I dont know if this is just me but i can, NEVER get my catwalks to align, is there something i can try to fix it?
My favorite part is detail. Specifically the bts and the under construction
This vid got me into hammer long ago. Thanks
Thanks for the tut! Very helpful! Are you going to be making more of these? If so when?
very good. hope there will be a new video like a wheatley style
Why do you set the test chambers to func_detail? They should totally block visleafs!
so underrated, you deserve more subs!
thank you so much, perfect tutorial
7:33 You always have to make sure that.. My video buffered
HELP : lights instances don't work they are still red cubes after i apply HELP
Great work!
Very useful. Thanks.
2:39 how to turn like this? mine is like "smooth".
Tools > Options > 2D Views > Default to 15 degree rotations.
@@TheChasedanger How do you move objects smooth, I can't place the door it keeps going in the wall.
@@ghosty-rh3ez late reply but the press shift and w to disable and enable the grid to move things smoothly
Hammer is really hard to use
Actually no, I am new in hammer and for usual test chambers this is easy, only problem is a textures that's very annoying.
How do you make cubes go through the tubes? Also, I can’t select the entities category.
How do you rotate props without using the pitch/yaw/roll numbers in the selection, like at 20:15?
if you click on the selection it changes between 3 modes of moving.
scaling
rotation
and something else I never use
Thanks!
You got +1 subs! This is interesting although I do not own the game.
or hammer.
YEAH

i love behind the scenes make
Could you release the styleguide map as a VMF on dropbox or somewhere else?
Do Props_BTS have a collision?
one last question: what is the recommended grid size for this?
You can change your grid size , so don't worry if you place something in bad position.
any from 32-128
im falling down from catwalks why
Use the 128 variants of the walkways
From which program you take mdl files?
can u do a tutorial for overgrown maps too?
I was planning to do that actually! I am just delayed because of technical issues. I plan to do a clean test tutorial, then continue that test in another tutorial that covers overgrown maps.
thanks!
the video is up here's the link ua-cam.com/video/H1N6YvvRaIc/v-deo.html
Why is it that the more complex the thing your tutorialing, the shorter the video is?
Please Help! When I spawn in, only some of the walkways appear, therefore I immediately fall to my death!
And also the 2 ones which actually appear are exactly the same as the others!

how do i optimize it cause its so big?
What is the tool to cut into a block ?
how did you select a side? i only know how to texture the COMPLETE cube
You need to use the Texture Application Mode (the blue,green and red cube)
thx
How r u doing that stuff so fast?! 2:34
Can you make a tutorial on how you get cubes going through the pipes
Most test elements in the vents are animated props, but since these are only good for very specific arrangement of the tubes, it is recommended to make prop_physic be transported through the tube with the help of trigger_push brushes that will be placed in the tubes, like done in the Pneumatic Diversity Vent test element.
Alten, I wouldn’t recommend doing that, since the banging of cubes against the pipes can be loud, and it runs the risk of them getting stuck, causing the pipe to clog up and ultimately crash the game.

@@Mystical_Ace lol u just posted their own video to them
@@stormstudios1 oh lmao I never noticed that
if you want to know how to make cubes, here an url from where i got this forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3184088
how did u cut? 9:36
Where do i get the overgrown elevator
?????
i think you could change the skin
Oh my gosh, are you one of the people working on the mod w/ Radelite? I think I know you! :D
"Portal 3"? If that's the mod, yep :D
Arachnaphob Awesome! I'm on the mapping team :D I'm still trying to improve in Hammer, so thanks for the tutorial, great job! There were a lot of details that I didn't consider before :D
I'll try to upload more videos soon. If it's helping, I'm glad!
Arachnaphob Yes, definitely helps :)
how do you divide the wall i cant find anything that tells me how
Ben 22403 use the clipping tool. it looks like a block of bricks with a corner cut off. It's on the left menu 3rd from bottom.
How can you see just models from far away? I can see Model color cubes from far away and just models closer. Are there controls or settings to fix that?
Tools -> Options -> 3D view -> Adjust the model render distance and detail render distance
How did you cut that?
+diamond pickaxe Not sure what "that" is, but it's most likely the clipping tool. developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Hammer_Clipping_Tool
and i can't click in my model browser
close the properties window and then open it again
doors?
DOORS?!
HOW DO I PROGRAM DOORS?!
hey just found this nice vid :D
my world is broken
Does anyone know how to use the cut tool? at around 9:20
@I’m Zay look at the timestamp before commenting cause they were talking about the cut tool not copying and pasting
god
Help! I cant see your curser and I dont know how to make an entity (im a noob at hammer, dont worry I saw a other tutorial once!)
Ok never mind but still im having trouble copying the walk ways!
Ctrl + C and then Ctrl + V
Or just hold shift and drag the model/wall you want to copy.
fucking hammer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was making a biiggg map 7 hours and this fucking hammer is crasing FUCK
28:38 watahell
9:23 how O_o
nvm i got it
Conner Marbut Troll
No. no not a fucking troll. Listen. how did you do that. all I'm asking.
Conner Marbut Use the clipping tool and press Shift+X the whole brush is white
How do you get rid of the blue outline?
28:40 😟
BTS isn't hard, it's just time consuming
Can I have the map download?
