in hooking up hammer 3.5 beta Post #50810
Get 3.4 from VERC also.

You need to install 3.4 first, then follow the instructions that come with 3.5 on how to achieve installation.

in Another HEV question - map oeilvert Post #50751
Hmm...if there are no ammo pickups then it was noit designed for DMC, as DMC uses different weapons (double shotgun, BFG, nailgun, etc) and thus does not recognize things such as 9mmARs and Buckshot that are used in HL.

If ladders don't work, i'd say its another compatibility issue with HLDM -> DMC.

Suggestion: Don't run Deathmatch Classic, and just run normal HL. It'll play as Half-Life Deathmatch in that case, and should work ok.

In any case, you certainly did nothing wrong, and are launching the map correctly.

On the contrary, maps made with non-steam may not work ON steam, which is the mainstream platform for HL at the moment.

In Multiplay games, you start off with an HEV, though you'd need to create a new server to get it as HL does not start you off with an HEV when maps are launched via console.

Since you have a WON build, just run the game with c:sierrahalf-lifehl.exe +map undergroundFacility +sv_cheats 1 . Once it loads the map, open the console and type give item_suit and it will spawn a suit.

You can have two brushes in the same place/overlapping. It's not recommended, though, as it looks really stupid.

in Spirit of HL Post #50323
Well, it's not commonly used standalone, and is mainly designed to be used in mods and things such as that.

It has some features which are very useful, however, but if your map is not part of a Spirit mod, then it would definitely narrow the audience.

It's up to you, but i'd vote against it unless you are making a mod or something of that sort.

I thought Facility was from Goldeneye?

The screens look okay, though quite bland and undetailed. In the final screen, there is a crete texture where the fifties one should be. With a bit more detail, though, this map would look good.

Compiling your maps does things to the brushes, splitting them and such, and thus your decompiled map file both looks nothing like the original and will probably have errors and leaks, so you'd be much better off restarting as Andy suggested.
