Hey, how did you guys get the rmf files for editing the maps in hl2? I haven't found any tools and the only thing I can think of is getting them from valve itself. Thx

They didn't. It actually uses a really clever system of using savegames instead of maps, and adding the NPCs in-game before saving them to a master-save thing that gets opened on game loading. I think.

The only other *good* way of doing it is creating a config file system that defines where all the extra NPCs will appear on the map, and having the game create the extra NPCs on map start-up. But that has less creative control, as it's a lot easier to do in real-time.
