Peace and LOve
hl didn't do area51, they did black mesa :/
MOD's inevitably have new code 
are you using zhlt qtools or hammer's default system?
i think anthony knows his shit. hl would have had a car if they could have done it.
there are tutorials for this sort of thing. unless you have an abnormal error. in which case (as said previously) we need more info
RipEnt (availiable through Nem's Tools). it used to be included with zhlt, but alas, no more.
you can edit maps in notepad, but you need to know the co-ordinates for where you want to place things (use Hammer).
skies are easy. bombsites/hostages are easy. models + sprites need to be downloaded by the client though. as they are essentially not an entity

idd. just what i was about to say lol
or map better?
sry, but how did you not notice you were running in software mode?!

ok. thanx. :
hmm, post the map dude
in C:/sierra/half-life you will find halflife.wad, within this .wad is the texture 'aaatrigger', if you texture any brush based trigger entity with this trigger it is more effective than texturing a trigger with, say, an ice cream cone texture.
no, you need to Export to Map within hammer (File/Export to Map...).
save the .map to a file, and compile it from there. if you are using valve editor to compile, then don't. get zhlt batch compiler, it's the best there is.
try Nem's tools

yes. CP is right. a 1 unit by 1 unit brush textured with sky can give the same impression as a whole box (depending on the location, and 1 unit was just an extreme example ) and have no side effects.
the sky looks the same no matter where or how the brush is placed. you don't even need to have all the sky brushes line up (although this is bad practice, it still works)
the sky texture simply points the game to the specific TGA and renders it from different angles etc.
look at the countermap tutorials page for a good description of sky brushing

or whatever your base directory is :
right. locate the yourmapname.bsp file (will be in the folder you saved the rmf to).
put it in :
Old Half-life:
C:/Sierra/half-life/valve/maps
Steam:
C:/program files/steam/steam apps/your@email/counter strike/cstrike/maps

tbh, coolfat. try dragging the cursor over your whole map. set every texture's size to 1.00 and then go back and change anything you need to.
how in god's name did you get a texture scaled down to 0.02?!?!?! why whould you ever need to go that low. and bad surface extent can also be caused by going too close the boundries of the grid in halflife.

no. nevermind that. a sprite is a sprite, that doesn't change; if all paths are correct, and the sprite is in the folder to which the entity is pointing then it should be fine. btw. is a cycler_sprite what you want to be using? i'm not sure, so don't quote me, but i didn't realise you could set up a sprite with it.
anyway, try posting your sprite/map setup in the Problem Maps section of the Map Vault. it will get solved much sooner than by discussing it here.

have you used the right (read: exactly correct) pathname?
DoD uses exactly the same things as cs/hl (save a few spawning entities + flags). so i don't think that's the problem (especially seeing as he has it placed in the cstrike folders

: if he would have searched for a tutorial on the subject he would have most likely come accross the one i linked to. i said ONE WORD (it happened to be ''noob'', but the what the hey).
so don't jump to obscure conclusions.
also, it's not good to give up on something because you get a few errors. but if you keep trying you will learn new methods and techniques.
i was trying to encourage him to CARRY ON not to quit (and therefore NOT LEARN).
so don't be a smacktard buddy.

there's es_ maps to do that yes. but es_ maps are buggy as well, so as_ is the most played alternate scenario (it's teh only alternate scenario :P)
and rabid, man there's like, a hundred decent as_ maps out there, oilrig has to be the worst map in the theme.

well, learning how to use VM properly would help (if you're using it for floors). you can't take a square/rectangle and move one vertex point. you have to move all points on the relative axis; unless you use two (or however many you need) triangles to make the square.
leaf saw into errors are caused by invalid shapes and the like. so try posting your map in the problem maps section (in map vault). it allows non-noobs to look at the rmf (don't post bsp) and figure out the problem.
also, in Hammer try pressing Alt+P (when in your map) and if there is any error like: invalid shape... then you need to delete it and try again

holy shit lol
using Batch Compiler, under Specifications: check Bare Zoners
on the far right of Batch, you should have:
CSG --should be ticked
BSP --should be ticked
VIS --should be ticked
RAD --should be ticked
HL --must NOT be ticked
this will stop HL running and trying to run a cs map.
use New Game in CS steam to choose your map.
there is no difference in steam and 1.5 maps. except steam has new .dll's that allow model transparency (for trees etc)
the map .bsp must be in counter strike/cstrike/maps.
use No WAD Textures under the BSP Clipboard in Batch. therefore no .wads to move about all over the place.
if non of that works you are a retard and should have submitted the .rmf days ago

perhaps i was being clever; or didn't you think of that :/
and you'd have to be a real tool to get a leak using carve.
the carve tool and vertex manipluation are used for totally different things. you can't compare them. so don't be a noob dude.

but he was saying that at least one side must've been touching the ammo ent. and besides, hy are you using a 10 brush prefab when you had to retuxture it anyway? can't you make basic shapes in hammer? all you ever use is prefabs dude. you'd learn more if you tried making it yourself :/
nothing wrong with carve. and i don't see what's "funnEy" about the big block little block comment. it's a perfectly legitimate way ofg sing the carve tool. it's just a little bit quicker than making a lame shape manually. personally i don't crave because i find it's quicker to make better shapes/structures manually. anyway...
... well. why not make a mod using the opforce coding.
holy cr*p dude. mapping requires you to d/l a whole load of sh*t, i'd beg and plead with your folks to get broadband, or you're gonna be waiting a long time only to be frustrated again :/
jesus. use Batch Compiler with No WAD Textures maybe?
CoD owns? DoD owns? CS owns? they all frickin' own.
DieH@rd, that's a sweet idea. but i'm thinking that would require a hell of a lot of .wavs and groovy new player models. i get the feeling this will die soon
i believe it was to stop the terrorists gunning down the vip from miles away with an awp (as would normally happen in cs)
AND TO BALANCE THE TEAMS A LITTLE. HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED AN AS_ MAP WHERE THE CT'S ARE OWNING EVERY ROUND?
oops caps, can't be arsed to change it, even though i just typed this, which is probably longer than that, but i'm still too lazy to go back and correct my original mistake, so tough.

a true hardcore mof0!
so did you manage to restrict it map-side, because that's impossible (or am i in need of a slap) 
man, i swear to god; the tutorials here are very good (at least the one on globals is), i don't see how you couldn't understand the principle of an entity controlling things over 1 or more maps...
it's the grey box in hammer (on the left). a brush is a rectangle. used to create everything in your level.
use the three screens (in the top left screen, try clicking on where it says camera, and change it to 3d textured) to see where you are placing things. you need to place an info_player_start in ur map before you make a whole map that's out of scale. gl

which cs_ maps are those seventh.
and the as_scenario is coded not to allow awp :/

i got logged out for that post somehow, but that ^ was me giving the sound advice and using wicked metaphores (spelling?!?!?) ^_^
or....
two seperate doors, set all their angles to the way you want. and have a trigger_multiple in front of each side of the door and target the doors, hey presto...

do people around here read the first post? it states that he used a targetted light_spot and info_target, in the first post.
have you tried placing the light spot inside the window frame (directly in the middle, from all angles) i don't know if this would give you the usual circle spot, but try it anyway (as opposed to having it outside).
the fade was just a suggestion
and also, fade is extremely easy to use, seriously. ever heard of vertex manipulation?

awesome, thanks my man. you have been most helpful in this trouble-some period of my life.
i did wonder about the whole multiplayer thing. i just have never mapped for single player half-life and haven't got a friggin' clue tbh.
it's not the mapping and entities so much as the little things... like running the map properly
but yeah. i greatly appreciate your input and if there's anything i can do for you then you only have to ask (this goes for Dred_furst too - the guy who alerted me to my incompetance
)

)the as_ maps are coded to not allow awp. :
that's because it's a server side option only.
you as a mapper have no say in the matter. unless you strip the player of all weapons and allow them to choose from a selection of armoury_entity designated weapons at the start of the round, ala fy_iceworld (and the millions of others )
however this causes problems in that your map will be sh!t. the awp is a weapon in the game, you can design your map to be biased towards not using sniper rifles which means the clever player will use assault rifles and such as opposed to awp etc.
short answer: can't be done

ps. dude i can't download that file.
i have to be able to right click and 'Save Target As' due to the fact my PC is not as advanced as it could be!

what that was meant to say was:
i create a server in the steam menu.
is there a way to start a single player game with my map then.
just to test it without changing the single player start-up map from 'c0a0' to 'mymap'. or is that what i have to do?

cheers dude. i'm creating a server. so how do i start a single player game? with my map (<-- CS mapper )
lol. or make the sides of the vent a func_ladder giving the impression that you're actually "climbing" up and down the vent, with the scrabbling sounds of gloves/boots on metal. then the player can come and go as he pleases.
