I didn't see anything like this elswhere, so if it's already been posed, sorry.
My computer was recently upgraded to Windows XP and i immediately installed Half Life in order to make maps. At first, Half life wouldn't run, so I had to find a patch for it. I used the Half-Life 1.1.1.0 Client (Full Client). After that, the game run, so I installed hammer, V 3.4 (I believe that was it, I may have been 3.5)
Anyway, i made a box with the defaul 8 ball texture, and a white light. I lsaved appropriatly and ran my map via F9. When my map loaded, the wall testure was dyed completely the color of my light. I ran it again with various lights, and every time the textures were dyed the color of the light. Whats wrong and is there any way to fix it?
Thanks.

Thanks.
If I can get this to work, I may just build a story and present this.

I said I would update, and here I am.
I have suceeded. Not in the way I wanted though. I managed to get a scientist scream 'NO!' when I hit a certain trigger, but the entire point to my expadition was to learn how to use the 'ambiant generic' entity. I still have no clue how to use it.
I have checked to tutorials and i don't think it is in there. Could somebody direct me to a place that can help me?

I'm once again making a level. I've put off my major ideas untill HL2 comes out.
I'm trying to utelize a few sounds in my levels (dropping bodies, screams, etc.)
Something isn't working. here is the fun part.
I don't know what i'm doing wrong. I set up my levels but the sound wont play when i hit the trigger.
could somebody be so kind as to either explain it to me in detail or direct me to a place that will help?

I'm making a certain map based on the theme of horror. I found some very creepy sounds that I really liked and creeped me out. The small problem is that i cant get them to work. I put them in the ambiance_generic entity but it wouldn't play. Any ideas?
I also want to make things float around in the air (like in Xen). How do I do this?

I was creating a new map recently, ihad the foirst room, a ladder, a desk, a chair, and a dead scientist. I had the ladder( i'm not the spelling champion of the world) close to a airshaft and i had a board woth little cilenders for nails holding it down. I changed all the vents to walls before i carved and saved. It was at this point i decided to test my map.
Then all hell broke lose.
The color was off for reasons beyond me and my light was not working properly. This was a mystery untill I looked up and discoverd that a huge chunk of the ceiling just dissapeared. I checked the map on Hammer and it was fine. All the textures were good and there were no errors except for entities with unused values. Anyone have an idea?

hmmm.... what about length? Lets say I make a large hallway (think of the one in the matrix for refferance), how can I judge whether it is to large or to small? or is it the same system as anything else?
I'm starting to get back into the swing of things with halflife. I've installe dhammer again and i am makking new maps. I only have one problem... I make everything out of scale. I seriously need help woth this. Any suggestions on how to keep all my work in a reasonable size?
as to hi_voltage's request i may be able to try it..... 
wow...............
Guitar and teachim myself how to play a harmonica (c sharp). Hope to get a bass soon!

YOu mean Death metal is heavier(or advance, whatever suits you) heavy metal?

uhh... there IS a difference between Heavy metal and Death metaal? I just thought Death metal was a little more sick than heavy metal. Thats it really.
I'm waiting a while before i try to demolish all my issues for halflife. It seemed that Doom was the next best thing for my level making pourpouses. Seeing how its scary and all, it should be a good candidate for "Silent City".
""What is Silent City?" you ask? I was trying to amke it for half life but two things happened. The stupid computer didn't work and i needed to complete it in my mind. So i'm using doom ti'll i figure out my problems. In the meantime... YOU"LL NEVER KNOW!!!!

In the meantime... YOU"LL NEVER KNOW!!!!I was just hapily going along. ladidadida. Then i encountered about the fiftieth glitch for that day. I had it. I don't think i've ever sworn that much. so i uninstalled it and am now waiting for the patience to try again.......
On the plus side, i'm tring out a new level designer........
Ever hear of the "Doom Gurus"? It's frikin hard. Anyone here ever try?

hmm... I been thinkin. Is there any real difference between heavy metal and death metal? Was T.O.D the first band to make heavy metal gospel music? How is Ozzy OSbourne not dead yet?Why do stupid people enjoy trying to destroy all heavy metal and Rock as we know it? Why did the Arabics invent guitar? Why is my avatar so weird? I WANT TO KNOW!!!!
YOu can post more than one band if you want.
I actually preffer Rammstein, rob zombie and Ozzy osbourne.

I only recently understood how to change levels. Even more recently i got it to work. However there is still a lingering problem. Whenever I change my map levels, i always get transferred OUTSIDE of the solide. I know that i have the correct map names in each trigger_changelevel, i have the correct landmark names in, and both of my landmarks are named landmark1. Yet i always get the character transferred to outside the solid. any ideas?
I actually found that my computer worked better with Hammer rather than WC. it may be diferent for you though. 
yay... i switched the fgd and the problem dissapeared. Now it locks up whenever i run from worldcraft, and when i run the level outside of worldcraft, i get the laoding screen for all of eternity.... i really hate it all some times.... any ideas? 
If it's not one thing it's another.......I fixed my previous problem of the compiling issue. For some reaon, it dissapeared when i installed hammer. Now whenever i run my map, it dosn't add anything new that i add on. I added a room with scientists, a body guard, some lights, a lamp, and bookshelves. Whenever i run it, none of it comes up.
ahh...never mind. I upgraded to hammer yesterday and now the problem is gone. thanks for all your help!
yes
I checked out the configuration and it was all correct. The map name wasn't a problem either. The cosole screen always has he same sentance.
Error: Could not find map on server.
Error: Could not find map on server.
I hadn't thought of that... any other reasons in case thats not the case?
I was happily making my own levels, thinking p new ideas, then my computer started going screwy. When ever I try to compile a map, The Half life console (command, sort of like 'Dos') screen comes up at teh bottom left corner and says that the file does not exist... I'm almost convinced that i have all teh configurations corrcet. Why does this happen and how can I fix this?
