Whenever I start my map while its loading an error box pops up saying SV_StartSound:Volume=2550 and it wont load the map/ any ideas whats wrong?
Does anyone know where I can get some good house textures like bricks, white wood/boards and so on ?

Which zhlt(compiling tools) should I download? Im using hammer 3.3 and I need the compile tools so that I can use texture lighting but when I saw the download page there were like 20 dif. zhlt's, and I dont know which ones to get. Also does anyone know of any guide to setting them up?

man i cant find the qrad.exe for some reason any help lol and than how do i unpack it and stuff i mean i know how to unpack folers but when im looking for the file to unpack it doesnt show up.
for now my compile tools are the ones that hammer comes with because i am not compiling any to a site or anything but i want to make textures emmit light. It says that you are supposed to put your downloaded lights.rad file into the same file as your compile tools so where do i put it ?

hey. I made some doors in my map and in the small black compass i chose up next to it so that the doors slide open upwards and for everytime i do this a new bug is created. how do i get rid of this its something like i didnt fill in all the things i needed to on the entity or something.
Its been a while since ive mapped and it is because my comp got moved and my counterstrike and half life files arent there and when i choose to view the games, there is nowhere where i can download counterstrike or half life/ or do i nead to reinstall hl through the cd. but than where can i get counterstrike, i tryed file planet but i need some free wear, And didnt it use to let you download plain cs when you brouse the games ?
A LOT of times when i get out of hammer 3.4 and back in it all of its options and stuff arent filled in and i have to do it over again and it's textures have to be put back in. This happens not only once but ALL the time. What is wrong ?
thanks a lot guys
Well i want to put a song into my map but it is way to long. Is there a program where i can put my song into it and cut it off wherever i want ? please give me a link to download it or the name of it. Thanks a lot
Is it possible for me to make a map for half life and than change it to counterstrike when im finsished ?
Well I installed hammer 3.4 and filled in everything for the game configurations but when i map and create an entitiy there is no entitys on the list. How can i fix this ?
i havent mapped in forever. I cant get my hammer set up right for counterstrike. I got counterstrike/steam through that mod pack and i dont realy know where to find all of the files or how to. Also whenever i try to make an entitiy in it and i choose its contents trying to change it to an entity i cant find any. In hammer setup which one is for the entitys and what should i look for for that one. Please help the last time i was even able to map was before the machine compo started. im dying!
ok i got counterstrike/steam whatever and hammer 3.4 and all that. When ever im setting up hammer for cs thow i cant seem to find everything ineed. Do i need to unpak anything? I tryed unpacking the cs folder to get its textures but it wouldnt work.,,maybe its because i downloaded counterstrike with the whole steam pak? please help.
My best tips must be to say that you should always try something new. Dont just make a map that has some vents,doors,windows and let it be done... Go beyond what anyone hase ever created. This is what makes people like your maps by saying WOW i should have done that. Half life alwready used it,s textures for everything you can pretty much easily think of so make your own vent textures even if there a little diferent and so on.
its in the flags, check (is ring) or something like that and make sure it has a start and ending entity.
thanks ill do it later after rakin up some killz.
woops sry for saying wad in the post
Can anyone give me a link for the lights.rad file so that I can make lit up textures.

I downloaded hammer 3.5 and started setting it up. In build programs for some reason, I cant find all of the executables after the first one which is the game executable. Any help>?, for some reason I cant find hammer in C:Program Files. PLease help.
to make it timed make it a func_wall toggle and uses a multi manager to target it and make it looped
this was supposed to be a helpful post/...
It would be a great post if every one posted there greatest tips for mapping-for anything. Kindah like the first post in this category except that its been a long time and everyones gotten better...
GO HALF LIFE !!!
In counterstrike I Would like to create my own server...Not just from creating a custom game or anything but a server that will stay there when I leave to where I am an admin,... I searched google but couldn't find anything. Can anyone help me out or give me a websit that might help?
Im gonna make a mod(my first) for half life that will show a lots of my skills as a mapper and an example of a reflection of gordon in the mirror and mutch more.It will be my first submitted map(s) but believe me, I have been mapping for a long time. It will be for half life.
ok when i get my comp. back im gonna hook it up
I have found an easy way to use wally to where it is very easy to make tiles that are alighned correctly and whatever else you want. In wally just go to the half life folder and browse threw all of the alwready created textures. Just simply copy one of them and paste it as a new texture. Than you can redo it using the new pasted old texture as guidlines. 
A long time ago my mom baught a router called lynksis but it was the wireless version. Any way, I just baught a 100 foot long Network Cable and was wondering if I could hook it up to the router and than my computer even thow it wasn't origionaly meant to be one that uses a cord??
Omg, I can't belive any of you have ever hacked! I absolutley! HATE hackers. One time I joined a server on vertigo or something to rake me up some killz. Any way there was a guy in there that was hacking his ass off. Hed pull out a knife and go the speed of light. ..geez how obviouse was that. Than this fag pulls out his awp and starts shooting threw all the walls hitting people in there spawn threw like 20 walls. Hacking is annoying, especialy for people with slow computers who have to keep getting into dif. servers.
wate hears one. Im a twin and when we were very young, my parents taught us how to ride our bikes. Well me and my brother were riding around and we crashed right into eachother and both lost a tooth. When we looked in the mirror we found that we had both lost the same exact tooth. I guess thats not realy a bad thing/
El_ seano my jack russel just died about a week ago..worst than having to give it away, it got its head stuck in a dorito back at my cousin's an d it either sufficated r had a heart attack.
-On the last day of a cruise, we threw a party and i drank way to mutch and was throwing up all over the place. My brother punched a picture on the wall (glass) and his hand got all shredded up and he had to pay 100 dollars for it.

does half life two use a smaller I MEAN (to wear you can create smaller brushes) graph?
thanks, tomorrow ima get my comp back and make my first mod and learn to compile maps. I could just tell yall how but than someone else might do it before me. In the mod ill do it somewhere. ALl i can say is that there are LOTS of limitations like ill have to make the mirror as wide as the player and no wider, and the room will have to be very dark. Oh well yall just wate lol.
maybe you know cp ?
Ok, remember fighting Nihlath and how he always would shoot a green transporter at you that would teleport you to different places? Well is there anyway to get him to teleport you to wherever you want in your own maps?
no IVE got the worst way to EVER possibly die... Its a VERY hot day outside and you need to get something out of the attick. You go up into it and the temperature is well over 100! You begin digging threw stuff in the back of the attick looking for something and you suddenly fall head first into a wall! You slowly fall firther and firther not being able to do anything because your arms are behind you and you fall slowly because its a very tight squeese because of all of the pink stuff. When you finaly are stuck at the bottom, you die from overheating and to mutch blood going to your brain, annnd rats nibling all over you . 
didnt you alwready find the problem>? and I cant test maps till tommorow cuz my comp is being upgraded right now.
ok thanks a lot and im sure itl be better than world craft, but do you think i should maybe just get hammer 3.4?, are there any bugs with this ?
