1) Trigger a game_text for text. However, don't have too many, 'cos there seems to be some sort of limit which crashes your map when you trigger the g_t after the limit. Use env_message for basic messages. Game_text is more versatile though.
If you want cd audio tracks, use target_cdaudio. Set a radius to trigger it when you walk into the radius, or give it a name to trigger it through something else.
FPS means frames per second, although if you are describing game genres, First person shooter (like HL!).
And what other stuff?

HEY! F*** OFF! I'M A SHORT PERSON!
Go on Google. Type in WinBSP. You should find it it one of the first links. That's where I got it.
or unpack pak0.pak with wally so you get the env folder out of it.
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDSSSS!
Why must you run a map from the console when testing level changes? I run it straight from hammer and it works fine.
I used 3.3 originally. Upgraded to 3.4. Now I use 3.5 beta, which I saved over 3.4. I recommend 3.5 beta, but get 3.4 first as Andy said.
Have you changed the bullet type? The default is no bullets.
I reset my clock myself. /me is a big boy now!
Maybe another time. Can't be bothered right now...
I used to create really lame vb progs. And VBScripts. Ah, good times!
Bush and Blair are evil! That's right, I hate my own PM! Long live Seb Vass! And rowan atkinson is very funny! As is tony robinson!

It's for creating models, blackie.
XP very rarely crashes though, although the "This prog. is not responding" error is a lot more frequent.
If you want those lights from unforeseen consequences, then there aren't any tuts I know. I know how to do them though, if you're interested.
PERFECT DARK? YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY! PD ROCKS! And ministeve, steinin's doing a part 2 (I think).
SPIRIT! YAY! I'm making a map pack (NOT a mod!) for Spirit right now.
I was actually thinking of doing one o' these. Can we work together on it?
I've actually seen one room of it....hmmm. It's OK, but needs better texturing, you need to look at the side of the computer, the textures look odd like that, but the brushwork's quite good.
I use software mode! It looks fine!
Just remembered! They're right, you do shoot it! I wonder if a crowbar would work though...turret? func_tank???
But cyclers are non solid! I used a cycler to get the image of an apache on a helipad in GE. It's not actually solid!
I've never made a map of my house. Too small, too messy (You'd get lost instantly!) and it'd be just plain boring. However, I DO intend to make a map or some maps (It's quite big!) of my school.
LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL! HAHAHAHAH! BRILLIANT! INNIT! LOL!
It should be English I tell you! ENGLISH! Um....I TELL YOU! 
The Whole Half-Life. 
LOL 
Do NOT make a massive func_illusionary! You'll end up swimming in it and drown eventually for some reason. Dunno why though.
Innit! 
Soz. Don't have a clue. What exactly is the idea of FA anyway? And where do I get the FGD for it?
you mean multisources. Honestly, seventh...
hmmmmmm. Atom musta died, or just started hating us 
So I should just buy milkshape? I've been considering it, it seems pretty cheap for such a great program.
never. he's been here recently and didn't even check it
Odd. Try just having the origin brush as a block, since the centre is the axis it rotates on. Otherwise, try the x axis flag, or, try leaving it as default.
Yeah, but I can't get 'em to work right!
UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Answer the damn question! And do you mean my mod or opfor? I assume you mean opfor...but what's that got to do w/ anything? Someone please help me.
The scientist models in OpFor are the same as the ones in the original HL. But they have a few new animations, and in this case, 2 extra submodels: Einstein w/ Clipboard (Walter in hi-def) and Slick w/ stick. Did gearbox software actually remodel the scientist entirely just to add a few new animations and 2 new submodels? It looks suspiciously exactly the same basic model. And it seems like a hell of a lot of work, getting the sci to look the same. How did they do it? I'd like to know 'cos my grunts need a new animation in my mod, and barney needs a few extra heads. Anyone got any ideas?
I use windows XP. And the problem's caused by leaving my comp. on standby (Sleep mode). It's fixed by restarting my computer.
And you can always come to #Vassy as well, if you like spam. However, there is a three spam limit, although every so often I will allow seven for no obvious reason. If you spam more than 3 or 7 times, you are kicked and banned for 2 minutes. Not a real punishment, but dead annoying! And people who want to help me are always welcome!
I was going to, but couldn't be bothered to finish itThanks andy!
OLD HL TOOLS! GET ZHLT! MUCH BETTER!
I really didn't get the plot, but it was funny and I loved it anyway.
Make sure your start volume is the same as the volume of the sound. And custom .wav files won't loop unless you copy 'em over older ones. In redemption, for example, they replaced siren with a bell sound. That's why it loops.
I feel that spirit is BRILLIANT if you want to make mods. And I don't find it very buggy, I just stick with the old ents and use their new properties. Also, if say you were making a map which is some sort of HQ under attack from grunts, you'd want good, reskinned grunts rather than barneys defending it. That's why the pick model function for monster entities is so good. You just place a grunt, change him to behave as barney, his reaction just becomes barney's (Friendly unless provoked), and maybe gag him so he doesn't keep using his radio like the enemy grunts, and hey presto! Better, recognisable defences. ALso allows gun turrets on you side which you don't have to control. That's why I like spirit so much. But my compo entry is original HL.
But if I'm reskinning models, they have SO many more skins to retexture, and with the high-def ones, they're all just thrown together so there are MANY fewer textures. Plus, barney looks so lame in low-def.
