HL2MP Mod Setup help

[The Bag]

Hi, I want to knock a few ideas around, so setting up a mod as an HL2 mod seemed the best idea.

Should I be able to just run HL2MP to begin with, that is - since my mod is based off the MP, will running the run_mod.bat run HL2MP (before I make any changes).

Running it at the moment gives 2 errors:

GetAllManifestFiles: Unable to load maplist.txt
execing valve.rc
material "vgui/servers/icon_secure_deny" not found
--- Missing Vgui material vgui/servers/icon_secure_deny

Any ideas/help. Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?

None of those are fatal errors. Your game should still run.

no maps show up in the create server part - and it crashes when I try to create a server (probably cause there's no maps)

All I want to do is get HL2MP running from my mod, so I can then try what I want to try without bothering with maps & assets yet.

You need to put some maps in your "Maps" folder then.
