Test map, asks for key and crash. Created 20 years ago2004-09-07 21:57:42 UTC by abs0lute11

I'm rather new to making maps. I'm trying to test a little box map with one spawn point and one light. When I press F9, it begins to load condition zero, asks me to enter my cd key, then crashes before you can even get the first number of the key entered. These are my option settings.

Game Excutable Directory
C:ValveSteamSteamAppsabs0lute1condition zero

Mod Directory
C:ValveSteamSteamAppsabs0lute1condition zero

Game Directory
C:Valve

RMF Directory
C:Program FilesValve Hammer Editormaps

Please help me out guys. Thanks alot for any input at all.

Actually, the game directory would be
C:ValveSteamSteamAppsabs0lute1condition zeroczero or whatever the name of the CZ game file folder is.

And the mod directory, the same thing.

isn't the game exutable supposed to be valve!? and the game dir is all wronge, its supposed to point to half life

Well the example for Game Directory is C:Half-Lifevalve so i figured that the valve folder was what it wanted. My friend that also just started making maps can test his, and he said he set the game dir to valve too. I will try it your way and see what happens Rabid. I also do not have 1.5 installed and the only half-life folder i have is in C:Program FilesValve Hammer Editorfgd. And as for the game excutable path, the example is C:half-life. HRMMM. I thought that its supposed to point to the folder where hl.exe is. And like I said, no half-life folder except the one specified above. Where should I set it to in that case. Could someone show me their paths? Someone without 1.5, all I have is the 1.6 games.

game dir is all wronge, its supposed to point to half life

He is mapping for CZ/CS so so the game dir needs to point to the CZ dir. If he mapped for HL then it would point to the HL dir.
