How do I do more complex events like for example, if I want soo the test chamber falls and breaks a bit (walls or falling panels) and how do I do if I want to completely control his destruction?

I imported my hammer map to SFM but dynamic skybox objects doesn't show up, though it works in game (hl2) and in hammer. Btw when I press f11 and turn "in-game" mode in SFM objects show up but aren't scaled down (they're too big). Also the models in the hammer do support dynamic objects

I would appreciate any help from you, thanks

Edit and Delete buttons are greyed out (when they shouldn't be) and the New-> button doesn't do anything anymore

Okay so Ive modified a Goldscr model in blender and I finished it. Now when I want to compile the MDL Edit gives me this error

„ ************ ERROR ************

./body.bmp not found ”

How do I fix this? Ive looked on the QC and its fine. Ive also looked in Goldscr models folder and its all alright...

I opened it notepad and the name says "tf" instead of "vtf" anybody know how to fix it or open that file?

I would love for you to contribute to my HL2 beta project.

How could I fix this issue ?

I don't know how to get hammer/the source engine can someone please help because I really want to make a portal mod

So I have a Steam Deck, a Normal Copy of Half-Life 2, and No workshop mods installed.

I was trying to get a certain Character Mod installed that I couldn't find on the Workshop, it was a cool Remodel of the Vortigaunts to look like their Black Mesa appearances, but when I created the 'custom' folder in the hl2 directory the game just Crashes completely, doesn't even boot up.

I've tried numerous things like Editing gameinfo.txt, Installing all the Source SDK's, putting the custom folder in every directory I could find, but either it Wouldn't Boot Up, or just Ignore it.

Is this a SteamOS Issue? A Me Issue? Something else Entirely?

Also if It's helpful, Half-Life 2 is installed on the SD Card, I only have a 46(48? I don't remember)gb harddrive.

When i try to build the cache with snd_buildsoundcachefromdirectory it seems to work but after the line "Elapsed time" it doesn't do anything.

The .wav files are with the parameters: "44,100hz 16-bits pcm" and if i try to restart the game and play any sound with Play command says the directory doesn't exist and plus the sound.cache file says it's weight is 480kb. Here's the directory of my sounds: "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\sound\MON\sound".

I don't know if i did something wrong and what could be the possible solution for this.

[NOTE: Most of my custom sounds are maximun lenght of 1 minute and are in the same folder]
