that is possible im sure. although ive not done much hldm mapping. what happens if you just compile your map and play it in hldm with the monsters placed?
btw, what sort of map are you making?

You can only have Barneys and Snarks, as far as I know.
Just place a monster_barney or monster_snark entity where you want them to appear.

You can place virtually any monster in a deathmatch map but these will standard be filtered out. You need to set sv_allowmonsters or something like that to 1 to let monsters show up. Beware though as other players will probably not do so, and therefore you may be the only one that will ever know there are monsters in your map...

Note that sv_allowmonsters has to be set at the server, not by a player.

Open the console (~), then enter it there.

ok i permanant way to solve this is to go to your mod dir. (dir is where your folder is) and double click the server, or listenserver file, depending on what server you want to host. Then open it in notepad, and at the bottom of the page add:
sv_allowmonsters 1
hope that helps
bye
sv_allowmonsters 1
hope that helps

ps: im also part latin AND italian! YAY

What version of Half-Life do you have? Steam? WON 1.1.1.0?

A question: did you run Half-Life with the startup parameters -console and -dev? Otherwise you can't bring up the console. And it's probably the ~ key, not specifically the key next to the 1 key... Don't know where that is on Italian keyboards though...

That sv_allowmonsters cvar is set in the server.cfg (or listenserver.cfg for LAN).
You would build your map as you would any other map. Upload it to your server (or set up a server on your computer). Once you have access to the server files, you need to add "sv_allowmonsters 1" to the server's config file. Restart the server.
Adding monsters is not uncommon in multiplayer maps, but to give them AI or scripted sequences lags the server severely. Most people put them in a cage so that the server can handle it AND all the people.

Hello,
the monsters don't appaer.
i do this:
i open hlds.exe,write map stanza.bsp and press return.
The server load the map,now i open server.cfg and add sv_allowmonsters 1,save it and close.
Then i write restart on the server console.
i open half life,connect to the server,but the monsters don't appaer!!
Why??
However the console appaer.
Are you sure that "sv_allowmonsters" is a correct command?
because when i write it in the console,it return "command not found".
Half life is version 1.1.1.0 .
Thanks !

Wait a minute, there IS a map, where you press a button and many snarks fell of a pipe. Snark Yard, right? Maybe spawn_monster works in MP? And why it worked only 1 time in that map? AND any one've heard something by title: "Italian Men Who Went To Malta"? If not go here [text + audio version]

I have the html version of that originally. I didn't realize it would be 40-some pages long after cutting and pasting. I never could get the top paragraph that explains some of the flags in the comments. If you would like it, I can get that to you. It only seems to work with IE.
