Title: New map?
Post by: kevinminion on April 26, 2017, 02:26:20 pm: I've seen a few SB users talking about map development the past week. I would also be interested in this, but have not been in Hammer for at least a year. If you are interested in contributing, please reply here and list any experience you have, if any.

Thank you

Includes a PDF with info about how planets are setup, and some tips to mapping that are a bit out of date, but might get you on the right track. I'll see if I can upload it sometime soon.

There's a link to my mapping folder. I'd strongly suggest that you ingore the HTML guide in the devkit, and check the information in the cheatsheet against the SB code. It has a lot of stuff miscategorized as being exclusive to other servers/gamemodes or not being used at all when they actually are.

EDIT: Also ignore the bit where it says SB3 only needs the FGD's brush environments. They don't work that well last I checked. Use logic cases anyway.

Magnifico! Thanks for the info.
