When you open your .map file in Hammer??
Is this when the textures aren't showing?
Guess 1.
You have changed the paths to the original textures
Guess 2.
you don't have the same textures listed in the options anymore.
Guess 3,
A combination of the above??

There are sprites that are visible in the 3D window of Hammer, but that is all due to the .fgd . Get the latest .fgd at VERC. Or modify your own.
As Seventh said, models are viewable in Hammer 3.5, but you can get sprites to be visible in 3.4 with the most recent .fgd.
Counterstrike mappers can also have Entities displayed as a sprite like object with Tommy's .fgd and sprite list.

It can't be out of date? it has nothing to do with texture usage in Hammer, so it shouldn't be included in your textures list...
Same as the gfx.wad and a few others.

Your r_speeds are high and changing to OpenGl won't solve that... although it does make that annoying reminder go away 
What that error means is that the engine is seeing 873 surfaces that it needs to apply texture to. Unfortunately, the Half-Life engine will only draw 800.
Try reading R_speeds
Or if you want to stick with Software Mode try: Softspeeds

I know this isn't much help, but someone else might find it useful,
If you have the stand alone retail version of Counter-Strike, the cstrike.exe is in the root of the Counter-Strike folder.

Hammer does that occasionally, it is always a good time to save the work your doing.
If it continues, decrease the amount of Undo Levels in the Tools>Options>general settings.
Or do what anthony suggested, there is a ggod chance that it is Memory related and you might have something running in the background that you didn't know about.

Read: This tutorial and you might just begin to understand why this idea is not possible with the current HL engine.
I love this sort of discussion....
Yeah, Brilliant new models, textures, coding...
Oh.. What happened to all my games? Mario has replaced all my CS models.
LOL....
Moral of the story.
Always back up your files before adding stuff. The people who made it don't want you to try it out... They want you to have it for LIFE.

Command line: "C:Documents and SettingsshizzandsMy Documentsdizzarrelmaphlcsg.exe"-wadinclude asdf.wadWhen you use -wadinclude there is no need to put .wad in the string.
Check the file C:Documents and SettingsshizzandsMy Documentsdizzarrellogobitchen.log for the cause.Further information found in this log file, but I am guessing that removing the .wad and making sure there is a space between the hlcsg.exe and the first -wadinclude might just fix it.
And what Crash said above....
To change the Half-Life title that is selected as part of the Worldspawn properties you need to modify the Hud sprites.
640hud4.spr and 640hud5.spr I think? and 320hud3.spr for lowres viewing.
At the bottom of these two sprites is the game title, It is spread across two sprites, you will need to merge them change them and then re-sprite them.
Use a program like SpriteWiz to modify and re-save the new sprite.

Take the decals.wad out of your custom Mod folder.
It is a default and as long as it is still in it's original folder the game will find it when it loads.
Search these fourms for stuff on Decals and check out Slays tutorial.

Did either of you guy's actually read the thread???
This guy is missing textures from a decompiled bsp. This has always been a problem with decompiling programs, regardless of wether you are using it for educational reasons (as in TrueBlue's case) or just blatantly ripping off other peoples work.
Doesn't matter either way, because these forums do not support or offer help to members using decompilers.
TrueBlue check out google if you are still stuck, or head over to Collective, they have a new favorite.

Great Idea,
I hope it is supported by Blue and armadillo.
Where are your entrants going to upload the maps??

You can't play a .map file.
Open Hammer,
Choose File Open,
At the bottom of the box it say's: Files of type:Hammer/Worldcraft(*rmf)
Hit the drop down arrow.
Choose Game Maps (*.map)
Navigate to the map you want to open...
Hey presto, you have opened a map file in Hammer.
Now compile it to produce a .bsp so that you can play it.

Read the Hammer Help File on LEAK finding.
There are several ways to locate LEAK's, everyone seems to prefer a different method.
There is NO really easy way.
If you still can't find it Post the map in the Problem Map's section of the Vault and someone might look at it.

ZL,
What about the Scale setting? And the Frame Rate of the Sprite?
Some frame rates will give you the Shrinking feeling...if you use play once for some othe the teleport sprites..

Good Question....
Not Sure, but I think that would be right.
It should spawn a player at the first available spawn point, so if spawn 1 and 2 are full, then the next player will spawn at 3.
If all spawns are full, then you get the Spawnfraggin problem.

It will always put you at the first info_player_deathmatch if there are no other players spawning in the game.
The only way to test the other spawn points is to make them the only spawn point.

Agree totally,
Davideo59 your ideas and concepts are great.
Too great to let slip by so get coding ... get your own HL site up and running, build a community and that way you don't have to get pissed off...
Think about how awesome it will be running your own site, you will be able to do everything you want. Avatar's, animation, all the stuff this site won't do because it has seen other sites suffer and learnt from others mistakes.
You will be free to make all those mistakes yourself.
You will be the ADMIN... you can edit your own posts!! which I think was the start of this topic? and has been asked since the sites beginning...
However, don't forget to instantly incorperate everyones suggestions. After all, that's what your ticked off about isn't it? It boils down to not getting your own way...
There is only one person that decides what changes on this site and when it will be implemented...
Send it all to atom.

The only reason you are getting a lot of NO's is because you are asking questions that have already been asked.
The only NO you should listen to is the one that Atom say's in his reply... After all that is the only one that counts.
The rest of the replies you get are based on answers that people have got from atom before.
So e-mail atom using the contact us thing at the botom of the page. Just don't be surprised if the answer is NO.

Could have used a camera also. Freeze the player as long as you wanted.

add -wadinclude thenameofyourwad without the .wad bit to your hlcsg compile line.
If you have more than one wad file that you want to include, just add another -wadinclude.
Your hlcsg.exe compile line should look something like this, assuming your wad is named dragon:
hlcsg.exe -wadinclude dragon
Or have a look at these:

Quick answer to the Admin side of forum posts.
No.
Well not yet anyway. And as always there is a good reason. If you hunt through the forums over at 69th, you will find a few posts that were created by someone new to mapping who asked all the Newbie questions, then when the caring sharing guy's at 69th actually answered them with the right answers putting considerable thought and effort into the replies... the Newbie went back in and edited all the original questions to make them all look like idiots.
I must admit I laughed at first.... but seriously, it turned the whole 69th community against new mappers and took them about 4 months to trust anyone again.
There are +'s and -'s to editing your own posts. Above just highlights one on the minus's.

I think a Forum based on specific subjects is a great idea...
But it will need to be heavily moderated.
The posts must be relevant and education... It shouldn't be a question board, after all we have one of those somewhere on TWHL and we also have an off topic section too unless some of you missed that.

If you have "Used" Barney or a sci, you don't need the info_nodes. The Monsters will get their position from yours, if that makes sense. But they won't just follow you anywhere.
Make the steps like Kol suggests. Or better still try a ramp. And make sure there aren't any aliens or Sure Death for the Sci lurking around, or he will refuse to go another step.
Info_nodes are best used with Grunts or other "attacking Monsters". It is their map...
Path_corners are good for Sci's and Barneys... but only work until you "Use" them.
Just because Gordon can navigate a room, doesn't mean that Sci's can..

1128899 square feet = very big indeed.
And only two direct lights...
Would have been black anyway.
100000 square feet is large. But very workable.
Make sure your map fit's in the 2D grid.
A good quick guide to max size is to make your map fit in 1/4 of the grid, and center it.
Always start mapping from the center.

Yeah, Kol's right... monsterclip.
But while we are on the topic of Sci's stopping and refusing to take another step......
This normally happens because the Sci senses danger. A monster lurks around the corner, or there is every chance the Sci is about to be killed.
Keep this in mind when building corridors next to each other, even though you can't see the monster, the Sci will know it is there.
You don't have to info_node the place. When called, Sci's don't need info_nodes, but sometimes it helps.

So to all of you who were complianing about people rating your maps poorly and being nasty, the hint in what to do might be here.
Produce something worthwhile, and people won't slag off your maps.
