i made this shape on my own!!
im having a prolem with my map.when i create an 8 sided arch and compile it , i saw that in between the edges of the 8 sided arch there is a small gap. HOW DO I FIX IT????should i make it into a func_wall?extra notes: there is no leak.
i agree now. good point though. 
I was thinking of a map speccially made for mappers. the map will be composed of lots of example maps!! but its not just a single map that i was talking about. im talking about many! the maps will be arranged according to type or anything (ex. func,env,etc.). we will gather all 9or maybe some of the ex. maps from tha map vault with the permission of the authors. also the creators of the ex. maps can also contribute in making of the maps.there will be an in-game tutorial (thanks to CaptainP for the idea). to teach mappers while they are having fun
so....have fun!!!
so....have fun!!!
ok
ChickenFist:but how do you make a basic map out of this? can you give me a help file or a clear tutorial about it. and some info for the new entities??

Topic: Leaks
i know you all have leaks in your map. and really want to know where to find it and to fix it. well this is my advice.
1. you can find it in-game. when you compile it an extra file will appear. it is mapname.pts. its a pointfile. so you need it to test it in game on SP.
bring out the console and type "pointfile" without the quotes then there will be a series of points somwhere around your map then it will lead to the leak!
2.you can prevent to make a leak by putting sky brushes around your map.

YEAH uM... MAYBE i have a fuckin' virus on my pc
you must change your Operating system to XP its better or if your just comfortable with selecting in 2d then vista will work fine
hey its me again.when i make custom maps for half-life when i fall i just recieve a damage of ten no matter ho high it isthe problem is i cant get it to work even though i turned on the contrlable flag on!
hey guys! i have a problem with my tank. even i follow all the instructions for making the tank when i compile it, it doesn't work. it sometime applies to the other func_tank(s)
hey kraken your'e useless in this forum go out i want the moderators to answer.:roll:Hey. Iwas Wondering.........how about advertising TWHL? so we can have more members in our site?
Bigger minds think bigger and better!!!this is my first tip, the first of many. iIt is ok to do anything yes anything like using vertex manipulation. in vertex manipulation its fine to create invalid brushes in the editord not forget that you clip the invalid face. its also fine to hollow out and carve brushes as long as you ungroup all!!! the brushes that are automatically grouped because the compile programs might think that the grouped brushes is a single brush therefore treating it as an invalid brush.
thats all!!! Hope you like it
