First I want to thank you for all of your tuts on you tube and for opening this forum. Here are my questions: 1. How do I make prop unmoveable like sandbags, etc. Is it prop static or what? 2. How to add flags on DoD:s map for capturing. 3. How do I scroll without using the mouse wheel, because my doesn't work? That's it for now. bLEKI557

1) prop_static 2) developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Day_of_Defeat:_Source_Map_Creation3) On your keyboard, numbers 1 to 10 . 4) There's a hole in your skybox. Delete your skybox, make a large block around your entire level, and give it the tools/toolsskybox texture. You then select it with the selection tool and press ctrl+H . Make the number -32 and you've got your skybox. Now, render the map again and see if it works.

For the ladder use the orange texture with the word LADDER on. To render press F9. You didn't really watch the tutorials, did you

Ignore the ladder problem, I got it.
About that problem with skybox. I see something white, maybe its map mirror like I see map or something its some squares and its all black around it. Does that CX haves something to do with it?
And WTF is point entity and where to find it and get it?

Sounds like your not making your skybox right.. The texture you need to make your skybox is the skybox tool texture, you dont actually apply the texture of the sky you want onto it, you need to set the texture in the map properties. If you can see black stuff where the skybox should be and your gun leaves a trail then theres a leak in your skybox as Philip said, I suggest you watch the tutorials again, or maybe read a text tutorial. We can probably help you alot more if you take a screenshot or upload your .vmf file

bleki557 I can' help but think you're being overambitious as I assume you've only just started making maps. To find the point entity or what ever you use the entity tool, place one in your level then you use the selection tool (all of these are on the left of the screen, by the way) to double click on the entity. You can then browse down the list until you find the point entity that you want to find so much.
As for the skybox... there is a hole in it. Either that or you've given it a horrible name. Delete the last 2 letters from the name. Better still put the name of it in these forums so we can analyse it!

Please find where your maps are saved and find your map. It should be a .vmf file, then send it to jorahill@hotmail.com or add me on MSN and Ill take a look at it for you. Cheers
