Hi again o.o

im creating my first map... EVER (on deusex) and imma having a load of problems

first, how do i get a mover to be centered on the grid? id had a lot of problems with this and ive tried toggling vertex snapping and it wont work.. as a result i got movers and doors on an outside wall

... this mover in pic 1 cant be resized cause its a pic of the roof (its a crusher)

2 for some strange one of my entire rooms MOVED... how do i move it back? (the ladders ment to be on the wall)

HELP

Right click anywhere on your overhead grid, and select Grid > 8 Units. Then you can move the mover to where you want it. As for setting the pivot, right click on the exact spot that you want the pivot, and select Pivot > Place Pivot Snapped Here.
Click on the ladder in the overhead view, hold CTRL and use the left mouse button to move it around. If you need a smaller gird size, repeat as used with the mover.

Then instead of moving the ladder, just move the room instead; press F8 and click 'rebuild' when you're done.

Too late ot edit:

Also when i create a door, i make in my workshop, when i do to intersect it, i tried once without adding the light source, then with adding it. and STILL this happens (see pic)

EDIT: the door STARTS in the wall... is that the problem?

It's a little bit annoying to wait till all these .bmps load, it takes my cache and slows down Firefox. You should learn about a magic format called .JPG.

it seems to be a BSP error

I can't say why is that only by your screenshots, maybe if you attach the map itself I'll try.

honestly I don't understand what you mean

He means that his mover isn't lit up like the rest of the room.

Brother, try intersecting the brush when its actually in the room that you want the mover.
