I don't know about texture memory, but it would surely cause the face to be turned into a bunch of separate faces since the scale is so low.
Is the path set up correctly? It should look like "sprites<sprite>.spr". If it looks like "C:Program Files...", you probably haven't set up your config.
Can the map be deathmatch? Just wondering.
Map>Go to Brush Number... (Ctrl+Shift+G)
When the dialog comes up, type 4 in "Entity #:", and press OK. You should come to the...um...improper entity. Either delete it or tie a visible brush to it.

Grab LeakMarker. It won't work all the time, though, but it'll probably work in most cases.
Ahem, 'tis goes into the HL2 Mapping Questions?
List of computer coding I know:
HTML
JavaScript (can't remember too much...)
VBScript (can't remember much either...)
Java (learning recently, decent I guess)

I think you would also want the "Not in DM" flag for HL-ers. Also, sometimes, the item_suit method would be better because then you can use Single-Player-only cheats like noclip, gl_wireframe/r_drawflat, etc.

But on-topic, just learn by yourself. That's how we probably learn how to map, right? Also, experiment! Try new ideas and create test maps to test your ideas! Just because everyone else does one kind of map doesn't mean the other kind is worthless. Oh yeah, be creative too!
There's an M4 in HL? (unless your talking about CS/HL HD pack)
Anyways...if your testing it from VHE, it is probably in Single Player mode. To fix that, change/add "+deathmatch 0" to "+deathmatch 1" or alternatively, you could put an "item_suit" entity right at the spawn.

12 year olds are NOT programmers.Hey, I'm learning Java...isn't that being (well, becoming) a programmer?
And I also pretty much started typing really well when I was introduced to it. I pretty much passed any typing tests that anyone assigned me. I also had the urge to go one level higher than the one that the computer lab teacher assigned us in 4th grade (I think)
1 = off, so 0 = on...
(heh, just kidding)
Why don't you try both options? It doesn't take you an hour to type "sv_cheats 0" and "sv_cheats 1"...

you're 11? damn, i thought the youngest literate on the net was that 12 year old dude on CAD. he's pretty funny.
anyway, most 11 year olds dont type correctly.
Seriously, you're 11, dandy?
Wow, I thought toonton was the youngest being 12.Everyone is so surprised
I typed pretty damned good when i was 11.
but seriously, I am eleven. Actually more like eleven and a half...Anyways, on-topic, I think DOOM3 graphics are pretty good on low quality. I guess the storyline is a bit clich?-like (or is it clich??), but at least they attempt a storyline...kind of...(go to Alpha Labs, then blah blah blah)
Thanks, but the site was back up once I got the compiler from the link... 
Oh well, thanks anyway for the link.

If you go to the new ZHLT website, it probably gives you a "webpage not found" error or something. Every time I try to get there, I get the same "zhlt.tk couldn't be found" error message, and I want ZHLT 3.2. 
I had XP-Cagey's compilers before ZHLT 3.2, but I deleted them when I installed the new one, and I found the stupid Opaque Ents bug where everything turns fruity-colored (literally, my map turned into a disco party)...so then I took the old ZHLT (Merl's I think?). Does anyone have the new ZHLT? If you do, please host it so I can download it! Thanks!

(you know I'm kidding, right? )
(you know I'm kidding, right?

F. Throw a grenade, hoping they won't see

Don't copy the map and then compile! Do the other way around; compile the map and then copy. That way, the compiler won't try to compile your email address (hmm, wonder what map THAT would make ). It's a bug in the compilers.
). It's a bug in the compilers.Good point, Seventh. Just use a multi_manager to trigger the scripted_sequence, then after the sequence is done, make the MM trigger the whatever-the-action-is. No buttons needed.
Or...if you have a decent version of ZHLT, you can use -wadautodetect or something to remove any un-used WADs. I think it should be on automatically.
But if you trigger_pushed him off, wouldn't he still be using the idle animation and not jumping off the roof?
BTW, the story's great 
.
.If I could pick two, I'd pick a mix of B and then A. Otherwise, just B.
It could be both...but it's probably HL1 because:
when using GCFScape where do you extract the .wad's you're planning on using?
There was a tutorial on VERC about triggering things randomly.
I don't think there is a flag for that, but you could set a master for the button and never touch the master (at least I think...I've never touched this stuff), but a button on a console?
Oh yeah, just in case you don't know where those are, they're in SteamSteamApps(your email address), and if you don't know where Steam is, shame on you .
.I guess you could extract them anywhere you want. That's what I do and I don't have any problem, but to be safe, extract them to counter-strikecstrike (or for HL, half-lifevalve).
It looks like this (without any spaces):
[ quote ]Arg.[ / quote ]
[ quote ]Arg.[ / quote ]
You can't teleport func_walls. However, you could use func_wall_toggles to make one disappear or reappear.
GCFScape. This has been mentioned quite a few times, I think.
So basicly i had the .wad's file name wrongNo, not the WAD's file name, the texture's name!
To make it easier, I'll paste it here:
If the decal appears backwards, the texture of the brush surface surrounding it needs to be adjusted. Bring up the texture face properties of the brush surface. If the surface texture is reversed, (meaning the X or Y scale is a negative value) then give the X:Y scale a positive value. If the X:Y scale is already positive, then the texture is aligned ?to world? rather than ?to face?.
To fix this, tick the ?Face? box in the ?Align:? area. Since the decal had already been placed before the texture was fixed, it will still appear backwards in the 3-D view, but will be correct in the compiled map. Decals placed after the texture is fixed will have the correct alignment in the 3-D window.
All from tommy14's pages:
problems = if +1 to +9 is used on a brush, then sometimes there is no animation, only that texture is shown....and sometimes there is. Using a texture number out of sequence on a brush such as a +3name may cause a problem, use the +0 or rename the texture you want without the prefix. textures must combine well. The prefixes MUST start with +0 (or +A) and must NOT skip a number/letter in the sequence, although you do not have to go to the highest number.
~http://slackiller.com/tommy14/hltexture.htm
Animated textures names start off with a +0 and go to +9. If there is a gap in the sequence (like +2xxxx followed by +5xxxx) or if some other character is used with the "+" (like +olab1_gun1or - "o" is not a number.) then you may get this error. Also a texture with a bad name of the random beginning "-" can cause this error, even though it is not animating. Sometimes it is bogus, caused by a corrupt save/export, or by that old "too many wads" mistake.

and his spelling should be excused, since he's only 11.What about me? I'm only 11 and I can learn how to type correctly ever since I've joined...
Actually, Anthony, an even better way to sort out decals is to just select the decals.wad from the Texture Group drop-down menu (or whatever). If you put { in the filter, you still get the decals, but you also get some HL textures, like {grass, {fence, and so on.
I don't use the decal tool because it's not grid-friendly like I'm looking for, I create the infodecal entities by hand and put them into position manually, where they end up assuming appropriate shape and sticking to the wall.Well, couldn't you use the decal tool to stick the decal on and then move the infodecal entity it creates? I know it would end up a little off grid, though...
Heh, no prob.
Have you actually tried OpenGL? It seems like everyone is ignoring my comment...
Did you put an info_landmark?
Is it set up properly? (all lowercase, no spaces, etc.)
Did you follow through the Changing Levels tutorial?

Oh yeah, it's also why it's solid black and not a Hall Of Mirrors effect.
No, it's not a leak, IEMC. If you notice (which should be easily), the textures are blocky, which means software rendering. Switch to OpenGL or Direct3D (OpenGL recommended).
On another note, please, no more Big Mother____ing Pictures, use a JPG/JPEG.

What the hell, again, people. If 800 is the limit then you must have to be running some seriously shitty peice of crap to have your computer lag after 800 r_speeds.It IS true to some people who decide not to grab a better video card (e.g. me with a 16MB AGP card). I guess the 16MB video card probably doesn't like about over 1500 polys (not sure about the limit) and decides to give me about 40 FPS (compared to the max of 72), not to mention it doesn't like the 4000 or something wpolys on the Sydney Harbor Bridge map at all...
Use the shout box or something, not a really old thread...and plus, he's probably not comming back to TWHL...look at this:
Last login: 14th February 2005 (19 days ago)He's been gone for almost 3 weeks!
...and the point of reviving an (about half of a year) old thread just to find fucklob?
Nah, I think 400,000,000,000,000 is four hundred trillion.Well, yeah, that's what I meant. It's just that I didn't remember what was after billion...
So that would be:
400,000,000,000,000 * OMG
Hmm...
Four-hundred thousand billion OMGs. Try to post it and you are bound to get a [message limit exceeded] added to the end of your post .

Oh, and to clear things up, I kinda messed up on some explanations.

(Note: the floor also has some water)May sound confusing, but I meant: the floor brush is in the water brush, so the water brush is NOT 2 pieces. It is 1 that goes through the floor.
Well either way, I think Seventh-Monkey's water and black idea is great, but what if you were under the water? Easy, surround the bottom with null, and in a poof, it's fixed. BUT, what if you wanted dark RISING water? Easy, instead of using a func_illusionary for the black layer, turn it into a non-triggerable non-solid func_door. Oh, and since water works like a door, make sure it travels far enough, but also still covers the floor. For example (yay, first post with bad ASCII drawing):
