ok... i made a map... it is almost done-has guns lights everything... when i press f9 to test it /it works. Now- After all of this I added two more items to my map... now i pressed f9 and tested it again and those two items "ammo" that I placed do not show up at all when im playing the map... therefor i am unable to finish the map because i have to still place all of the start locations... ? ? ? i can save the map and everytime i open it up in hammer the newly placed items show up but when i test it they are gone...
well that didnt seem to help with my problem

you could make the rocket in hammer and than use a func_train??? your problem doesnt make sence describe it more...
Ok well i just moved all of my new 4 tools into the original folder of the 4 tools in half life and in hammer's build programs I changed all four to the new tools from zhlt... I just want to know how to go from there to having a zipped file that I can post for download on this website...
well ill prove that im pretty good once i compile this map i made but i dont have a rats "A" of how to use zhlt... can someone help me out. I have some textures that emit light but how do I get that into the compiling process... and what do I do first now that I have zhlt... please help i HAVE to start puting my maps on here...
Thnx dude. Now i just gotta figure out how to use this lol.
fyi dont get cocky your maps are dull...
wow dude ive been mapping three years and im pretty dang good at ... thow im simply unsure of making quote"deathmatch" maps work! MY FIRST CREATION WAS A LLLOOONNGGG TIME AGO BUDDY!
A easy way to get rid of leaks is go to map/ check for problems and click on a leak and go to error and delete the "invisible problem"... works for me anyway...i think. plus if you want to make a sky just make it as if it were another wall enclosing your outdoor area and give it the sky texture...+ check out the tutorial on sky lighting... it makes a pretty kewl affect.
Well im trying to download the right version of zhlt and I am not sure which one to get. I map with hammer 3.4... so am I supposed to get zhlt v3.4 ? can someone give me a link... I tryed to get it but when i try, the download usualy doesnt even work and im not even sure if im getting the right one.
thnx unbreakable.
Ok im done making my map and now theres only one thing to do left. Place the weapons and start locations and compile it. Ive never compiled a map before but I am unsure of what to do with weapons and everything. I mean do you just place say a shotgun on the ground and when you play it in deathmatch it will reappear after being picked up or what? and just plane start locations?
kewl thanks... i just copied and pasted the pak of models into my half life folder so that i could view them...
I couldnt find the list of animations for the scientist so that I could use them in an aiscripted_ sequence so I was hoping someone knew where I could find it. Also...I am making a death match map and Ive never compiled any maps before but I was hoping to do so with this one and I just need to find some info. on weapon placement...start locations and everything needed to make one work. Thanks in advanced.
well sry looks like i deleted some "invisible func_walls ...?lol" im not used to fixing bugs being that i usualy just make maps for my own entertainment 
Well on a map I am working on I checked for problems and noticed two of the same bugs. They both say "solid entity(func_wall)is empty...description-This solid-entity contains no solids. Fixing the error deletes the entity. When I click on them they both bring me to the same area thow nothing selected and ive erased all of my entitys one by one seeing if it would fix the problem..then bringing them back duh lol. The map isnt very big yet so they shouldnt be that hard to find but ive looked for a while and still im out of luck. any suggestions?
all it says in my games by half life is (preloaded)... I dont understand what you mean by activating it "there seems to be no way that I can. What should I do?
well is there any way I can register it for free being that I already own the cd?
i recomend a new computer
Hey where do i go to register half life 1 so that i can play online ? ? ?
---thx in advance---yea it worked after some frolicking thankx a lot!
well I checked but still cant find them anywhere. i checked in C:/program files/steam/steam(again)/games/"being the onlyplace i could find anything about condition zero"and than there is the icon for condition zero and other games but that is all i can find for it. Do i need to unpack anything to find them or what?
Well is there a way to take textures from condition zero and use them in mapping for half-life?
thanx man.
Hey, well I was just wondering if anyone knew what all of the settings were when playing a surfing map to allow you to bunnyhop, and surf normaly so that when I create my own server with a surf map I will be able to do so.
well i reinstalled half life but now half life doesnt work at all ? ? ? no dot.spr ?
well can someone let me download the dot sprite from them? reinstalling doesnt work:(
An easier way to use the method that i learned from messing around with it would be to go into the 3d view first. With vertex manipulation mode on and a triangle brush selected in 3d mode you can easily select which corner you want to manipulate. Than look in one of the side or front graph views and manipulate it in that. This allows you to move it up and down w/out it going all side to side and everything.Trust me it works 100 times better than doing it in the 3d view. 
well it sayed it wasnt there when it was so maybe if i just got rid of it it wouldnt cause problems i dunno
well every time i go to load a map or even play half life an error box pops up saying "Mod_NumForName:Sprites/dot.spr not found but i dont even use that on any of my maps. Even when i load a map whith nothing but a player start and a room. I even tryed deleting the dot sprite but it didnt work. any ideas?
Well ive been working on a map in worldcraft 3.3 for three days straight and I used many of my own textures, sounds etc. The map has been working fine for me thow it takes quite some time to load because it is very big and detailed. I just added another room w/music elevator etc. and was able to play it. I restarted my computer and opened up my editor. When I clicked on the name of the map to open it a, box appeared with a yellow triangle and an exclamation mark in it. In the box it sayed " Oops! SerializeRMF()v2.2 tried to load a file v0.0 Aborting. Than when i select ok it says there was a file error. Plleeaasse help me find out what to do to open up my map, i know that it being huge shouldnt have anything to do with it not being able to open up in its editor but for some odd reason it wont open. Thanks a lot in advance.
thats exactly what i did but than it says its alwready registered so it wont do it again. Even if it alwready is registered than how come it isnt in the play games list. Im so confused, is there a way to unregister it so that i can redo it or what?
Hey well ive been wanting to play half life on the internet but it always says i need an update but it cant find any. Also, I have steam but when i look for half life it isnt in the little box when i select play games, only gay games like hl2 demo and codename gordon ...lame~~lol
