I think everyone here likes to see maps Klick, or picturs of maps ( Klick ) , Or other things.

But, for example. A Car forum. I'm (in this case you) showing the other guys, how a car with wheels looks like. With a picture. Now i make another thread, now i post a picture with a car with 2 wheels. Now i make a new thread "How do i open the door, maybe i should read the manual, but i prefer to ask in the forum". (In this case, please read the vdc, because you ask things, things you'll learn in the vdc, or beginner tutorials). and now i post a picture with a car, with 1 wheel.

Why are the pictures boring to the other people? Because everybody knows how a car looks like with wheels. And with 3 wheels. with 2. with 1. and without any wheel.

So i dont want to "attack" you, because you said that youre 'beginning' and new to hammer. thats okay.
Maybe you post pictures that may be interesting for the people.
And I also think it's okay if you ask things that are shown on other sites, but maybe you really should view any tutorial or read the vdc. Because if you do not even know how you select only one side of a brush, it would be stupid if you ask now, for example, tomorrow how a light works. and the next day ask how a relay works.
I hope I could help you a little to orient you. and sry for my language skills.
But I think with a little time you'll make great maps.

EDIT: So i dont think that you know nothing, but: Here are some things, you maybe can read, that will help a lot:

Tobbell, honestly, could you be a little more nice to this person? He just started with Hammer about a week ago as far as I'm concerned.

However, Sphere, he is right- you aren't really showing something new, and I think that once you're really confident with Hammer you'll be able to post things really cool. I'm glad that you have switched from PTI and Beemod (no offense to BenVlodgi) to Hammer, and once you're very good with Hammer we'll all like to see what you can do.

Where did i said that i want nothing seeing from his projects/maps? I just want to show him that pictures like his isnt a reason to start a new thread, maybe you understood me a little bit wrong, maybe because of my translation. But I am 'for' beginners, and not against them. I like it that people like him start with hammer, and i like it to help them. I do not think it was rude. ^^ I mean, i also was some time a beginner, like everyone.

**### crap** on the Workshop.

Sometimes I think it would have been better that Valve would never have made ??the editor.
Otherwise the Editor is very good to fast test something planned, Puzzles.

Its a little bit sad, because more people who like portal, would try to map in Hammer, when there would be no pti.
The pti editor is causing, that there are sometimes good maps, but nobody will see it, because this map is hided under 500.000 Pti maps..

EDIT: Back to the theme. @Sphere, Maybe you have some other pictures of your map in the screen? It also looks like you try to make a little "story". Hm, look forward how you keep up your 'project'. For the wall texture on the right, a little tip: click on the texture tool (Click on the block with the blue, orange and green coloured sides). Select the texture on the walls, and click on the window under "Justify" at the "B" and the "L" (Or "R"). Magic!

workshop stuff.

I completely agree. The PTI mapper is okay if you just do it for fun once in a while, but if you consider yourself a serious mapper an dont know hammer, I wouldn't approve of that. Plus, to rub in the quality level of PTI, look at the VERY first map ever published to the workshop. Go ahead: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=620&browsesort=mostrecent&browsefilter=mostrecent&p=10341

I'm on the last page on most recent, and it's in the lower right corner. Go ahead and play it. It's painful

So, good job with getting used to hammer, but if you want to post screenshots, use the showcasting thread. (And watch the videos mentioned for the !number time, because we're not going to be able to help with every single error).

I see, maps like this are really everywhere.
But thats also a funny (or sad?) thing, "first test in the Workshop - Unsolvable".
