my mod's training level is screwy! Created 20 years ago2004-07-31 18:49:13 UTC by JujitsuMan

I'm making a mod (ndey.net/tony is my website) and I'm making a training level too, but for some reason when i click on hazard course it does the old one. I have the liblist file set so the training level is the name it has to be, but it STILL won't work... HELP PLEASE!!!

do you have the training map in the mods map directory?

if it goes to the old one it sounds like you havent made it into a full mod yet, unless you included the old hazard course.

maby not all the maps are in it yet.

no, i made entire new one, it's all done and everything, i've set up about 7 maps in themod itself already, but it STILL won't work! I finished the training levels and it's only letting me into the original hazard course, then when i press esc it goes back to half life instead of my mod!

Things to consider:
Name you Hazard course something different, like Haz1

make sure you Liblist looks something like:

game "My Mod"
startmap "Startmap"
trainmap "Haz1"
url_info "http://www.cariad.co.za/twhl"
version "1.03b"
size ""
svonly "0"
hlversion "1110"
type "SP"
gamedll "..valvedllshl.dll"

Make sure Haz1 is in your Mod's Map file.

Have you done this?
I forgot to ask WHICH Mod are you mapping for and are you using Steam?

I prefer this setup:

game "My Mod"
gamedir "your_mod_dir_here"
startmap "startmap"
trainmap "haz1"
url_info "http://www.cariad.co.za/twhl"
version "1.03b"
size ""
svonly "0"
hlversion "1110"
type "SP"
gamedll "dlls/hl.dll"

i'm NOT using steam, and i'm making it myself. by the way, if anyone has free time and would like to make a model for my mod, i got designs . anyway, I have a different map name, it's train. but i didn't put in the url info and other stuff. who knows, could make a difference, prolly not though. any more ideas?

still nothing it just won't do it, here's what my liblist looks like:

// Valve Game Info file
// These are key/value pairs. Certain mods will use different settings.
//
game "Your First Mission"
gamedir "C:SierraHalf-Lifeyfm"
startmap "fartherin"
trainingmap "train"
url_info "http://ndey.net/tony"
version "beta"
size ""
hlversion "1110"
type "SP"
gamedll "dlls/hl.dll"

it still won't work for some reason. I put it in the map directory and everything, WHAT'S WRONG!

HELP

trainmap

NOT trainingmap

hmm, lol, don't know why it said that. lol WHOOPS

alright, your training map name is haz1... yes?

well, heres what i do to set up my mods. (the liblist.gam file:)

game "your mod name here"
startmap "your starting map"
trainmap "haz1"
url_info "http://[yoursitenamehere]"
version "your mod version"
size "how big your mod is"
svonly "0"
hlversion "the hlversion required to play the mod"
type: "in your case SinglePlayer?"
gamedll "put your own dll here, or use VALVe's: ...valvedllshl.dll

lol, all that trouble and what i did wrong was i put training map instead of trainmap. lol, it works now though, thanks all

You probably shouldn't put C:Sierra~ as your mod directory, just the mod subdirectory (just "yfm"). Probably.

Floater: It's ..valvedllshl.dll, not ...valvedllshl.dll

i had a fat font on, i thought it was three dots.

. = current directory
.. = directory above
... = the one above that!

etc. Hence '...' would have looked in Half-Life instead of Half-Lifevalve.
