Guide to setting up Hammer to work with Steam for Natural-Selection 3.0 Beta
Version 1.0

by KungFuDiscoMonkey

Do not type the quotation marks. They are there to show what is typed. Type what is in between the quotation marks.

Game Configuration:
Go to Tools>Options in Valve Hammer and select the Game Configuration tab.
Click the Edit button to set up a new configuration and name it. For this Guide we'll name it "Natural-Selection Steam"

Select the new configuration on the drop down menu.

Under Game Data Files, click the add button an navigate to the Natural-Selection. It should be located in your Natural-Selection directory.
Ex: "C:\Steam\SteamApps\emailaddress@isp.net\half-life\nsp"

Feel free to set up a default PointEntity and default SolidEntity if you?d like.

For Game Executable Directory, input the location of your Steam Installation.
Ex: "C:\Steam"

Mod Directory would be the location of your Natural-Selection Install.
Ex: "C:\Steam\SteamApps\emailaddress@isp.net\half-life\nsp"

Game Directory is the location for HL.
Ex: "C:\Steam\SteamApps\emailaddress@isp.net\half-life\valve"

RMF Directory is where you would like to store the source files for your map.
Ex: "C:\Steam\Valve Hammer Editor\maps"

Build Programs:
Go to Tools>Options and select the Build Programs tab.
Select the game configuration from the drop down box.

For Game Executable, input the Steam program file.
Ex: "C:\Steam\Steam.exe"

For CSG Executable, input the CSG program you wish to use.
Ex: "C:\Steam\Valve Hammer Editor\tools\hlcsg.exe"

For BSP Executable, input the BSP program you wish to use.
Ex: "C:\Steam\Valve Hammer Editor\tools\hlbsp.exe"

For VIS Executable, input the VIS program you wish to use.
Ex: "C:\Steam\Valve Hammer Editor\tools\hlvis.exe"

For RAD Executable, input the RAD program you wish to use.
Ex: "C:\Steam\Valve Hammer Editor\tools\hlrad.exe"

For the compiled maps directory, input the directory for your Natural-Selection maps.
Ex: "C:\Steam\SteamApps\emailaddress@isp.net\half-life\nsp\maps"

Compiling Your Map:
The easiest way I have found to compile maps under Hammer is to set up a custom configuration under the advanced tab. Hit F9 to bring up the map compile dialog and click the advanced tab.
It may be possible to compile it using the normal compile dialog but it was giving me grief and I got fed up with it. Feel free to try. You'll still have to add the game parameters "-applaunch 70 -game nsp -console -dev" under Additional Game Parameters to get Steam to load your map in NS

Click the Edit button and then New to create a new map configuration. Name it "Natural-Selection Steam"
and then close. Select this map configuration.

CSG:
Click new to create a new Compile/run command
Click the Cmds button and select CSG Program.
Under Parameters add "$path\$file"
Make sure Use Long filenames is checked

BSP:
Click new to create a new Compile/run command
Click the Cmds button and select BSP Program
Under Parameters add "$path\$file"
Make sure Use Long filenames is checked

VIS:
Click new to create a new Compile/run command
Click the Cmds button and select VIS Program
Under Parameters add "$path\$file"
Make sure Use Long filenames is checked

RAD:
Click new to create a new Compile/run command
Click the Cmds button and select LIGHT Program
Under Parameters add "$path\$file"
Make sure Use Long filenames is checked

Copy File:
Click new to create a new Compile/run command
Click the Cmds button and select Copy File
Under Parameters add "$path\$file.bsp $bspdir\$file.bsp"
Make sure Use Long filenames is checked

Run Game:
Click new to create a new Compile/run command
Click the Cmds button and select Game Program
Under Parameters add "-applaunch 70 -game nsp -console -dev +map $file"
Make sure Use Long filenames is checked

Hammer Should Now Be Configured! Hit Go! to compile and test your map.

QUOTE (Extras)

Explination of Parameters

"$path\$file" is used to send the path and file for the compile tools to work on the file. They (normally) stay the same throughout the compile process. The map is then copied at the end.

"$path\$file.bsp $bspdir\$file.bsp" is used with the copy file command. The first part "$path\$file.bsp" gives the location of the origional file and the "$bspdir\$file.bsp" supplys the location to where the file will be copied.

"-applaunch 70" tells steam to automaticially start HL
"-game nsp" tells steam to load Natural-Selection as an addon
"-console -dev" automaticially enable cheats and developer mode for easier testing
"+map $file" tells HL to go ahead and load this map. The variable"$file" allows hammer to pass along your map name

Things to Remember
Sometimes the move from WON to Steam can play havoc with the wads. I suggest making sure the correct wads are moved to the nsp directory under steam then delete all the wads from hammer. Close hammer and restart then add the wads back using the new location under steam.

QUOTE (Changelog)

Changelog
Feburary 1, 2004
-Changed the colors a bit to hopefully be easier to read on the new color scheme.

Janurary 31, 2004
-Version 1.0

To Do:
-Add Section about more advanced parameters
-Add part for NS hull files

Please feel free to point out any errors/corrections/etc. If you're still having trouble, feel free to PM me and I'll see what I can do. Maybe I'll even add it to this guide.

Also, before you post page long log files from your compile errors, I would suggest you also read the thread here
Common Errors And Problems, Index of Common Errors etc. by DarkATi
about common compile errors.

That's your problem and yes leaks cause lots of problems.

You also don't appear to have long file names checked.

Thanks for the "how-to" setup!

But, I've got a small problem here. When I go to compile, I get this error,

CODE

************ ERROR ************
Error opening c:\program files\valve hammer editor\maps\xeranox.bsp: No such file or directory

** Executing...
** Command: Copy File
** Parameters: "c:\program files\valve hammer editor\maps\xeranox.bsp" "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\scorpion571@hotmail.com\half-life\nsp\maps\xeranox.bsp"

The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified."

Normally, when I push F9 to run, it asks me to save either a .map or a .rmf, I saved a .map to my valve hammer editor/maps directory, and I configured the expert mode correctly, but I still get that error.

Can anybody help me please!?

This means the BSP isn't being created properly, check your compile log for errors.

This may be harmless, and if no strange side effects are occurring, then
it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange

From reading your post I'm thinking that you saved your map file in the same place that the other ns maps are located. If this is the case try unchecking the line to copy the file and see if that works. If not you can PM me so that people don't keep making several page long posts of their error logs

No, I added some lights. And, no, the maps aren't saved to the directory where the maps already are (well, the .bsp is still supposed to be sent to nsp/maps, but that wouldn't be a problem). I unchecked Copy, and the .bsp still appears no where.

*IGNORE THIS POST*

i had the same problem as you dude.

ive figured it out.

the guide is slightly wrong (but still very helpful as i didnt know any of this til 5 mins ago):

QUOTE

Copy File:
Click new to create a new Compile/run command
Click the Cmds button and select Copy File
Under Parameters add "$path\$file.bsp $bspdir\$file.bsp"
Make sure Use Long filenames is checked

this needs to be

under parameters add "$path\$file.rmf $bspdir\$file.bsp"

its becuase hammer trying to convert a *.bsp to *.bsp but the source map is not *.bsp its an *.rmf file.

Hope this helps

but now ive solved that im getting another problem

i get this after ns loads

Feb 4 2004, 07:33 AM

Squinage, the guide is right. What you're doing won't work. The RMF needs to be compiled into a BSP; you can't just copy and rename it. That's why you're getting the error message.

Feb 4 2004, 09:00 AM

The RMF is only used by Hammer - it's not part of the compiling process at all. When you compile, Hammer exports the RMF data to a MAP file. Then hlcsg turns the MAP into a BSP. hlbsp, hlvis and hlrad all operate on the bsp. If there's no .map file, then Hammer isn't exporting properly. If any of the compile tools fail, they should give an error message. From your compile log it looks like the tools aren't producing any output at all, which is odd.

ShenTraX

Feb 4 2004, 09:43 AM

prsearle is correct,
open Hammer
open your map
select File -> Export .MAP

Edit: Then run compile
/Edit

if you keep hammer open while you run the map, then quit and make changes, you can use the Export Again option.

now it just freezes when it loads...

to my knowedge the loading should be like any other map because compiling happens before hand

You are missing some required DLLs for the p12 version of the tools. If I were you, I'd just download p13 from the stickied thread -- it comes with all the necessary DLL files in the zip.

The tools choke on directory names that contain a period (like email@isp.com) so they can't compile map files that are inside a steam directory. If you move your map file to another directory that doesn't have a period in the compile path, you should be OK.

There are a few things you can do to save time -- running CSG -onlyents will only update entity property information leaving the rest of your map alone. You can update the location of point entities using this method, but changes to brush entities require a full compile.

You can save a lot of time when tweaking lighting by running RAD -incremental... once again any changes to map geometry will require a full compile.

Sylver

Feb 9 2004, 07:44 PM

so like all these settings have to be set to a directory other than the steam one:

- game data files (gonna have to copy those then)
- mod directory
- game directory
- place for compiled maps to go

Is this going to stay this way or is there going to be a fix for Hammer for this? It seems kinda weird to have to manually move your map to the right directory

KungFuDiscoMonkey

Feb 9 2004, 08:15 PM

If you set it up like my guide it does all the compiles in your RMF directory before copying the bsp to the maps directory. Just have your RMF dirrectory and tools outside the directory with your E-mail address. For instance I have Hammer in C:\Steam\ while my maps are in C:\Steam\Valve Hammer Editor\Maps and it works fine.

It's a compiler problem, and it's going to be fixed in p14 (I've already rewritten the file handler, it's in testing now).

Feb 14 2004, 01:18 PM

well actually i don't need steam to test my bsp

i still have my c:\games\half-life\ns directory from 2.0, i renamed it to nsp.
i did a copy of the c:\...\steamapps\me@bla.bla\half-life\nsp\*.* to
the c:\games\half-life\nsp directory.

i configured hammer and zhlt to use that directory without starting steam.

of course if you update your c:\...\steamapps\...\ *.fgd and *.wad you have to do the same with your testing directory.

i did not find this myself, a couple of weeks ago i had problems with steam aswell and after posting something somewhere finally i person told me to do this.

that was cuz i fixed a quick ns_testmap.rmf with a succesfull bsp compilation and when steam started my local server my system halted without error output.

You need to click on each empty box in the "Compile/run commands" dialog to tell Hammer to run the commands.

The boxes will have checkmarks when each command has been turned on.

Feb 16 2004, 03:49 PM

First thing I notice which may easily be your problem is that you have added two extra '/' marks in the paths for csg.

I also notice that you don't have rad set up by maybe you did that on purpose.

You also have all the compile/run commands unchecked (at least in this screen) and hammer only runs the commands which you have checked.

I hope that helps. Feel free to post again if that doesn't work. I'll be a bit before I see it though b/c I have to go to physics class to sleep umm I mean learn

First: You are using some OLD compile tools. I suggest looking for the sticky on the mapping forum and download XP-Cagey's tools.

Second: Your compile is messing up with CSG which makes BSP, and VIS fail.

Third: You need to move the RAD under VIS. You don't want to run it after you load the VISed map in Steam.

Remember when you get help online you need to give as much information (that is relavent) as you can. What do you mean by "sort out the compile"? If you installed XP-Cagey's tools and set up the paths in hammer, then set up the compile options like my guide it should be working better. Post a new compile log and we'll see if you're still having trouble with set up or if it's a map problem.

I'm sorry I forgot about this for a few days. Got busy over the last two days. I don't have time to help you right now but if you want some quick errors I'd take part of your error message and type it into google and see what comes up. Search for "coplanar faces" and "brush outside world" and see if you can find some help. I just wanted to post so you didn't feel forgotten

I tryed using the autofix in VH however it deleted half my map which is worrying so i didn't use the auto fix. I downloaded HLfix and unzipped it, but when i click the program it flashes a a screen then does nothing, any tutorials on how to use HLfix for NS ?
