Wierd, I been following this.simple box tut (http://liquidfusion.fateback.com/fusion/tuts/wc/first_room03.html), but cant seem to find the 'info_player_start entity' It does not exist in my list of entities.

Im using Hammer 3.4.

Cheers for any help.

it's ok just add it....

It's not in the DoD fgd, you need to use the info_player_axis and info_player_allies entities instead. You don't need the info_player_start for a DoD map.

more descriptive:

if you want to, i dont think its necessary, but i always add it, just make a new entity, and then simply go to the properties of it. then in the text box type: info_player_start

dont get discouraged, i got stuck on the very same thing

The entity list isn't alphabetical. You just have to scroll through it until you see info_player_axis/allies. Should be near the top I believe. Good luck.

Thank you, adding the 'info_player_axis/allies' worked =)

I have plans to recreate my favourite map, Zafod, but make add more paths to make it easier to make a comeback.

LOL, will probably never be finished or see the light of day.

I have questions regarding what the|fastest has said. Are we allowed to modify and recreate versions of old maps and such?

Yes you are, but if you better ask for permission from the original map author.

for the love that is all holy, please lets just leave it at this, just get permission from the creator, and all will be ok

Doh! I didnt think of that.. I will have to hunt the artist down. Would be nice to see all the old classics such as Zafod, Cherberg, Heutau and 'the one with the tank on the bridge' :P

Schwetz you mean?

I still want to see remakes of Tstation, VN61(funnest map ever), Bliss, and Mainz

Zafod - made Zafod
Cherberg - made by Arc (theres already a 1.0 version)
Heutau- Sound effect (inw) - i think SE made this
Schwetz- kami

Correct, Zaphod did dod_zaphod.


Cherbourgh, already has a 1.0 version, and I hear that Kami is making a 1.0 Version of Schwetz.

Also Heutau, was indeed done by Sector Effector. He's currently off with his German Military Unit in Kosivo(sp)... So no ETA (if ever) on a 1.0 version of that map, but we can hope :)
