It would be nice to at least seperate the vault into MOD... HL, HL2, CS:S, etc...
My ram was never a problem before... upgrading would take a trip back in time as I have the old RAM type.
I am using only 3 textures... walls, floor, and ceiling...
I even used a reg cleaner and nothing is happening.

UPDATE SINCE LAST POST....
I decided to uninstall steam... at that point i went into regedit and deleted EVERY reference to "steam" and "valve" - took me a while but I got it done.
I then restarted my PC, and with NO OTHER PROGS RUNNING (verified in task manager process window)
I decided to REDOWNLOAD and INSTALL steam to the default folder of c:Program FilesSteam
Got the SDK, got CS:S, when they were finished I started CS:S to establish the files, then shut it down and went into SDK Hammer and made a VERY basic cube room with 16 spawns each side, an IPS (info_player_start) 2 buyzones, and 9 point lights...
Upon compiling, vbsp ran, vvis ran, and even though NOW I do not get that Send Error Report window, in the comile process window it appears it is skipping over VRAD - you see the attempt to execute it, but within milliseconds it copies the BSP file and finishes....
When I went into the map, all was well except..... (go ahead, GUESS) NO F***ING LIGHTING! (mat_fullbright defaulted to 1)
Steam has yet to respond to my "question" and I am ready to give up on this. It's aggravating me this much BECAUSE I once built several maps on this exact machine. The only difference is the upgrading from a hacked cpoy of XP Pro, to a LEGITIMATELY PURCHASED copy of XP Pro.
Outside of updating windows through that nerve racking Windblows Update. I DUNNO WHAT ELSE TO DO!!!?!?!?!?!

No Antivirus software to speak of (memory hoggers!)
3rd party software??? Like what?
Adware free as far as I know (I have Adaware)

This is where I get a lot of "Holy ** dude I'm amazed anything runs on that thing!"
AMD Athlon 1.1GHz
384MB RAM
ATI Radeon 7000 Series (64MB)
1024 x 768 (75Hz)
Now let me include this... HL2 runs! I've built quite a few maps on this machine, had numerous LIT maps... granted the default maps for HL2 storyline run pretty sluggish, but that doesn't stop me from making a small map and toying around with it... I have a map for CS:S that, even though unlit (mat_fullbright 1) it still works really well.
My main problem is lighting. rad will not run. EVERYTHING ELSE DOES.
I've emailed Steam about this, and no response as of yet.
Where do I find those DLL's?

Wouldnt that cause worse problems?> Like no compiling AT ALL?
I submitted a question to steam support - this is madness
In the meanwhile I guess I play small maps, this machine cant handle huge maps

My instalation folder wouldnt have anything to do with it would it?

Instead of

I assume it wouldnt considering everything ELSE runs just fine

Last night I UNINSTALLED and WIPED OUT all steam content, and started over fresh... I had to redownload the SDK and HL2.
forrent@pittweb.com would be a good place for that file. I hope this works, I've almost given up hope on it. I know it isnt my machine, I've mapped quite a bit on this in the past

Sorry to repost this, but I'm at wits end!
For those who do not know my dilemma...
In Hammer (source SDK) when I go to compile ANY map, the compile process does not complete...
vbsp runs fine, vvis runs fine.... upon execution of vrad.exe, THIS shows up...
Upon entering the map in HL2, the map runs, but is unlit!
I've both refreshed sdk content AND reset game configs more than 5x each, I've completely REMOVED and REINSTALLED steam, I even deleted some .blob file that was suggested to me in IRC.
I'm at wits end! I've tried hlrad and cstrad, but hlrad is for non-source, and ALL of the cst*.exe compile programs come up with that same error!
PLEASE HELP if you can! I'm ready to give up on mapping for source! And we all know I cant map for SH** for HL1 stuff!

A desperate plea.....
Can ANYONE shed some light on this? I don't understand how vrad can be error'ing out!
I'm about to give up on mapping altogether... I've both refreshed sdk content AND rreset game configs more than 5x each, I've COMPLETELY removed Steam and reinstalled, I've even deleted that .blob file people suggested I delete.... NOTHING!
Are there ANY OTHER compiling programs for source that MIGHT do the trick? (google is spitting out a bunch of forums and discussion crap that makes no sense to me)

Upon making a new map since reinstall of steam, I had started compiling... everything went semi-smooth until...
"We're sorry for the inconvenience blah blah blah" <--- the famous Windblows "Send Error Report" window pops up telling me the error was in vrad.exe .....
"well I'll show you!" I thought, and downloaded what I assumed to be Zoners tools.... (now file named cst*.exe)
Replaced ALL build progs, every one of them came up the same thing... so I switched back, and used ONLY cstrad.exe - NO CHANGE!
This computer may be out-dated, and the graphics may be a little ancient, but no more than 3 months ago it HAD compiled maps JUST FINE! Is there something I can do to fix this?

I only have CS:S installed so far since I put steam back on, so what I di is sort by MOD, well I keep having to scroll down, and then only to go BACK up to find the link to the next page shrugs
What about putting a navigation link at the BOTTOM of the grid as well?
At the top of the list, where it says "Page X of X >>" and you click on the >>'s... is there any way to add that to the BOTTOM of the grid as well?
Imagine you are looking through the maps, and you come to the bottom... would be nice to click on the next icon hehe

On my cellphone my "banner" reads "AYBABTU"... and my fiancee asked me what the hell it meant.
And I thought about it, and I'm curious to know something..... WHERE did that originate from and how did it come about?
Does anyone know? I'm curious as to the history of that phrase

I have spoken to a few lawyers who have turned down the case. However that was BEFORE I had to have the foot chopped off. My issue now is the amount of time it has been since the infection first set in. A lawyer may have issues with why I waited.
An eyepatch and a parrot LOL
I have a few sets of entities being turned on and off by ONE trigger_multiple using OnStart and OnEnd touches.....
So far...
OnStartTouch turns on the following; 2 phys_thrusters, 1 env_laser, and 1 light
OnEndTouch turns it all off
Is there a limit to how many output items one trigger can have?
How about the # of entities it can control?

Hey all! Been a while (again LOL)
I'm sure none of you knew what has been happening with me, but some of you know about the surgeries and stuff with my left foot.....
Just in case you hadn't found out about this yet, here's a picture of me.....
6 weeks ago this Monday I had my left leg amputated below the knee! WHY? Because the last surgeon (ankle fusion last year) messed it all up by not monitoring an infection that ended up spreading.
I feel great, and I am eager to be up and walking again on that prosthetic! This Monday I am going into Rehab for 2 weeks. Until then, I'm gonna play with some mapping and see if I can improve my skills.
I missed you guys

So is there a way to SWITCH cameras? Like have 4 cams, 1 monitor.... switch between them?
BUT... I can't find it anywhere.
In HL2, I want to create a bank of monitors hooked up to individual cameras.... WHICH MOVE BACK AND FORTH like reg security cams.
Now I know how to create a monitor and link it to a camera, but the issue is this.....
Is it func_rotating that I use as a parent for the cameras???

As in a floor plan... from before it would only sghow radar blips (hostages)
Obviously the map in CS:S has improvements. Either that or my much lower video memory from the old comp couldn't show it.
So I'm wondering IF this is an update, is there anyothing I have to do to my maps to show that or is it automatic?

1st one... #American- Politics - actually I gotta tell ya a very large portion of users got banned because the owner decided to ban a lot of ISP's... aol, verizon, netzero, the works. It's funny cuz after that I never saw the user count go above 6 at any given moment AFTER that
2nd one... OFF THE SERVER! I was an IRCop there for a small amount of time till one time the server I had linked decided to take a dump... I tried to explain some things to the admin, and man she didn't like THAT LOL!!!

So I got me an HP Pavilion Slimline s7500n
DXDIAG STATS.....
AMD Sempron Processor 3300+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.0GHz
512 MB Memory
ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Series (256 MB)

I like it, and it runs HL2 really nice, along with the new Flight Sim (X) game.
So.... what'd I miss besides a few competitions?

About a month ago I had some surgery done to my ankle. Had to ALSO do some serious revamping on this computer, so it's been a while; which means I have to REDOWNLOAD the steam content.
So my question is this... WTF is "Source SDK Base"?

Someone suggested in my HL2 map "Laser Show" that I should make that map for HL1 as well.
Compiling the map I had made became impossible, and I'm wondering if i have things configured wrong for both the directories, AND the build programs.

The weapons in Halo 1 are mod'able... For anyone who has the PC version, you can download what they call the Halo Mod Kit. One of them is a Map tool that you can pretty much alter everything about the weapons outside of it's appearance.
I once modded a Banshee turret to basically SPRAY your enemy... death within microseconds
