You may find better reponses at the counter-map forums:

http://countermap.counter-strike.net/cgi-bin/ubb/Ultimate.cgi

This forum is for dicussing (future) mapping for Half-Life 2. It is not a newbie CS map forum.

Right, you need to Compile your map to be able to play. When you save your maps save them as .map. To compile a map press F9 on your keboard or press the little button at the top right that looks like a gamepad.

In order for it all to compile correctly you need to have vis, qrad, bsp and csg set to normal. Then press compile, this will build your map into playable format (.bsp)

Make sure its told to place it in your Counter - Strike maps folder or it wont be able to find it.

P.S Im, assuming you all ready have Worldcraft (Hammer) all set up in the Build Programs and Game Configuration.

[killarman]

someone know why this happens?

 

[Wraith]

try using zoners halfl ife tools and make sure you only picked one texture WAD file

 

[Dux]

Yes, indeed get Zoners Compile Tools by all means. You can get it from here

http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?go=mhlt

The old Compile tools are such a pain in the arse for errors and such. So download Zoners and recompile it - If you get more errors Ill give you a hand.

It seems no-one read my earlier post, here it is again:

I'm not trying to flame or upset anyone, I really do think that these forums will provide more info as they are specifiaclly about mapping for counter-strike for half-life 1

 

[killarman]

but i asked here beacuse i just wants to learn hammer before the 1 to halflife2 comes out...
so i can make maps in hl2...:cheers:
