Here, you will be able to post questions, content or simply reply to other users using the different sub-forums available to you. Whether you are a new or experienced designer, everyone's invited.

Make sure you have read and understood the Steam rules and guidelines first before going any further.


Before creating a discussion, please make sure you have read the FAQ in case your issue may have been covered in it.

If you are unable to find any help in the FAQ, then you may post a thread here while following these guidelines:

1. State the game you are level designing for. This is important because an entity that may work in a game may not work in another (func_rotating does not work in TF2, for instance).
   
   
2. State the problem you are having in detail. Include what you were doing when the issue started to arise. An example of this would be:
   

   Publicado originalmente por User:

   I have an issue with my map where some textures are not receiving lighting data when other textures are lit just fine (the textures I am using are stock textures with no modifications on my end). The issue started happening soon after I added light entities in the apartment section.

   
   
3. Include the troubleshooting steps you went through. This will keep us from posting the same steps that you may have already gone through. An example of this would be:

   I have tried removing the latest light entities, changed my compile settings and changed the textures but to no avail.

   
   
4. Include a compile log and put it between the [code][/code] tags or use pastebin[pastebin.com]. This is one if not the most important piece of information we need. 8 discussions out of 10, give or take, include an issue that the compiler reports.
   
   
5. If you want to post one or more images, that's fine, but use trusted websites that upload images only, like this one. If your URL gets filtered, upload it elsewhere, do not go around the filter.
   
   
6. Don't panic. When writting your thread, please stay calm. We had cases where people spent a long time making their level, had an issue with it and posted incoherent rambling here because they were afraid of losing their work. You are not going to lose your work.
   
   
7. When we provide troubleshooting steps that did not work for you, please edit your original post with those troubleshooting steps. This is not 100% required, but it helps know what you have tried without anyone going any further in the thread. An example of this would be:
   

   EDIT: I was suggested to delete the brush and remake it, but the problem did not go away.

   
   
8. When the issue is resolved, mark the answer that helped you solve the issue.
