Oh hey, you boys finally made it public. For a second I thought 'have we been hacked?' No, it's just the new site design. It's a little bit of getting used to, but that's fine. Not sure how I feel about the Shoutbox being on the right, is there a way to move it to the left side of the page? It looks like that should be possible as the Shoutbox is a separate... thing, it isn't attached or isn't part of the main layout.
Other than that, congrats on finally making the dang thing public.

That blue light on the third pic doesn't look that great. It's a common problem when you're trying to fit a rectangular texture on an oddly shaped surface like that.
There's your problem. Half-Life only fully supports 11 or 22 kHz in 8-bit mono format.

Did you put in the { character in one or more of your entity string value names? If you did, that's problem.
According to Tommy14's list of mapping and compiling errors, you have a damaged brush. Use the Go To Brush Number option to find the brush and replace it.
Don't know about ingame but in JACK the coordinates of a selected object are shown in the bottom right. In this case the coordinates of the selected light entity is 0 0 128:
Looks like an entity in your map is referencing a resource (sprite, model, wav file) that doesn't exist. Or maybe it does exist, but you got the path name wrong. Check your entities path names.

[m]Blast Pit[/m] because I like rockets (and rocket engines), among other things. I like On a Rail as well but back in the day I hated it as it got me so confused. Today, the On a Rail chapter is like the calm before the storm as it builds towards key events such as the engine test-fire and the rocket launch.

Power Up, that's a no-brainer.
He means that your entities defined in your fgd need a special keyvalue that allows model rendering in the editor. Doing this yourself for every entity is pretty time consuming so here's a fgd file with those studio keyvalues already in place: HL fgd for Hammer 3.5
I'm hosting a fgd file on my website that already includes model rendering support, you can get it here: HL fgd for Hammer 3.5
Also, and you probably know this, you'll need the Hammer 3.5 executable only update/patch for Hammer 3.4 to make model rendering work in the editor. You can download this here: Hammer 3.5 exe.

I have some Half-Life utilities and tools hosted on my website, most of them I downloaded from Slackiller over ten years ago so most of it you'll probably already have, but feel free to take anything that's worth keeping a copy of. The cached.wad and gfx.wad SDK for instance is a rare download, at least it was back in the day. I also have some old fgd files for use with WorldCraft, Hammer's predecessor.

I'm a little rusty on the subject but you have assigned the zombie_eating animation to both the action AND idle animations.
You should be using the eat_to_stand action animation to make the zombie stop eating and stand up.

Look at all this breathing the CPU is doing when it should be handling PHYSICS! Though admittedly GPUs can handle that as well, if you have one spareI still have my Ageia PhysX card somewhere in my storage that I specifically bought for use with Source engine games. I don't have that card in use anymore because of the reason you mentioned above.
There's a Humble Software Bundle out now that includes Sony Vegas Pro 14 Edit for only $20 as well as a whole bunch of more software! Might be worth it if you can actually afford to spend $20. I know I'm going to and support charities and my favorite Twitch streamer in the process.
If you enable the -chart flag you'll get a nice list of object names and their maximum objects and memory usage. It'll look like this:
Point light entities do count towards the entity limit, texture-lights do not, but don't quote me on that.
"tie the entity to world". What is that? I missed something.That turns the brush entity back into a regular brush, a piece of normal level geometry, if you will, without any special properties applied. If you need to make changes to the visual appearance (size and/or shape) of a brush entity that consist of multiple brushes, you should use the 'ig' button. As Solokiller explained, this disables the grouping of those brushes, so you can modify the shape and size of a brush. When you're done modifying the brush, turn ig off and the grouping of those brushes are restored with all their entity data intact.
If you use the 'to World' button, all the entity data that is tied to the brush geometry is removed, and you end up with just normal level geometry. Basically, world geometry is referred to as solids, or solid (world) brushes.
That's a lotta text though.
Not even with a trigger_relay and its Kill Target field?
Those types of textures are 'stickied' on existing world geometry using the decal button in Hammer. That's all you really have to do to make the vanilla black on white { textures work correctly. They are entities still and when you open up their properties, you can give them a targetname, allowing you to toggle them visible/invisible when triggered.

It's BatchCompiler, not PatchCompiler, SSB.
You should open the compile process log file and look for any error messages. Post the error message(s) here so we can help you fix those. I'm guessing there's a problem with your map that prevents a successful compile.
Using Hammer is fine, but there are other editors out there that are better, such as JACK and Sledge. If you want to stick to Hammer for now, that's totally fine.

Ah, submerged.wad, a favorite of mine.
The wall look a little bland though. Maybe add support beams every x units to break it up a bit?

That was indeed what I was thinking.
Did you made any quicksaves and/or autosaves during testing?
This guy, man, I'm telling ya... 
You really think Cayle punched in that date himself? It's probably a glitch where Steam was unable to retrieve the correct date.
Nothing to make such a big deal about.

My guess is that those nod files have some kind of unique identifier, like a string of characters that matches the bsp file. Each time you make changes to your map and recompile, a new string of characters are created for that bsp file. The game checks if those characters match those in the nod file, which of course doesn't match if you've recompiled the map so the game rebuilds those nod files so that the string characters in both the nod and bsp files match up again.
Again, this is just a guess.

I'm not reading that because you never know what the future has in store for us and I don't want it spoiled for me by reading it.
@SSB: Wut?
So, did anyone here snapped pics?

So close to an eclipse but... no.
Ya dang lucky US peoples you.
In case you Muricans don't know, on Monday, August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will be visible within a band across the entire contiguous United States:
Remember, never look directly at the sun, not even during the eclipse or you could damage to your eyes. Use special viewing equipment such as eclipse glasses.
For more info, click here (nasa.gov)
Enjoy the event!
I'm not in the mood to map for the next couple of weeks (see journal for the reason) so I might drop out.
Just finished Crysis some weeks back, thought it was still enjoyable, at some lengths that is. I should play through Crysis 2 Maximum Edition next, but haven't yet.
I'm currently playing Faxanadu Remastered, a remastered version of the NES version.

Even though your sentences are... screwed up, that actually looks pretty damn good.
And again, I have no inspiration...
I think Jessie is referring to your broken image link, which doesn't surprise me, with such a long url...
@Urbs, Thanks for clearing that up.

Hold on. I'm confused. The plot says TWHL eggheads opened a portal to an alternate dimension. In that dimension, they opened up another portal that lead to an hostile alien world. So there are two portals right?
So what's the idea behind having all those airlocks if there's only one portal going to the alien world? That doesn't make sense to me.
Also, can you define "The theme is pockets of reality, hopping between dimensions."? What does that really mean?
Send one man through the portals, sealing them behind him.That's a quick and easy job, sealing only two portals.

Awesome! Count me in. Less Minecraft, more Half-Life mapping. Hopefully...
Do you ever quit complaining about your laptop?
