ok, first you need to put an entity called info_landmark in each map, it as to be in the same place though, next, put a trigger_changelevel in. a changelevel is a brush entity so u need to select the aaatrigger texture and create an area where you want the level to change, u can also assign changelevels to button if u tick te USE only flag. Does that help you?

p.s. has anyone else experienced the w32.msblast virus? If so, ask me as I know how to remove it easily!!!

I reinstalled my OS

U dont need to reinstall windows!

I know, but I was dualbooting Me/XP at the time and hadn't started using XP properly for any reason. In the end Me got so clogged up that I switched, and then I had Blaster from not using a virus scanner

I'd only visited about ten sites!

So I reinstalled XP

You've probably not got all the walls or changelevel entities perfectly lined up. What I suggest you do is re-build the "change level" corridor separately, including the changelevels and landmarks for both maps. This way you can ensure everything is perfectly aligned. Just make sure all the center points are on the same axis. (all the x's touch on one of the 2D views) When you have done this, copy it whole to both levels, and then delete the entities that don't apply. This should solve your problem.

Windows ME is well unstable!!! Windows 200 Pro rocks!!! Either that or SuSe Linux 9.2 64bit edition!

yeah, all of the room where the level change is has to be exactly the same otherwise it would be a very strange second map!

how is mapping 'modifying hl'

Of course it is. You're playing a map that wasn't originally with the game.

O.k i'll try, back to !MODIFYING HALFLIFE!

is there a tut on changing levels, I hate to see repeat forums, it is very annoying. COuld someone make one with good Map making experiance?

A mod uses 'modified' halflife code, hence the name. I don't consider maps as mods, there has to be some manipulation involved.

(I think I'm fighting a losing battle as i'm not even entirely sure what im talking about)

you are loosing jobabob. Mod means Modification and making a map is MODIFYING half-life since the map was not origanolly with half-life. blue shift used the same code, does that mean it was not a mod?

No, it didn't. I'm sure the code would have been modified in some way here.
