I had a little wad error in my final bsp that I submitted to the site. Do I delete my map from the vault, then submit again? Is there a way to delete the old bsp I submitted, then put the new one in?
It would be really cool to see a section containing links to good sites to download Hammer, models, prefabs, textures, etc. Maybe called mapping resources.
Sounds like an idea a couple of college drunks would come up with...... No screenshots= no game.
I didnt mean they are models in the sense of the game engine. I meant smaller scaled down versions of the original (models) Thats very cool that they are part of the skybox 
Ever noticed that in HL2 and CS source that there are small building versions of big buildings that are in the map? (These small buildings can only be found with noclip on.) An example is Aztec in CS:S. Spectate and go under the map. There are small building models of actual buildings in the map. Does anyone know why???
Thanks. I probably will make a couple more on Hl1 then go to Source.
My computer is powerful enough

Is it a good idea to get more familiar with making maps in the HL1 engine before moving to source? I have only completed one map so far (de_household) and am thinking about moving to source. Is it still in Hammer? Do I just change the configurations so their directory is affiliated with Source and start mapping? (I assume lighting, and physics are different, as with textures)
Well, this is akward......... 
Im sorry. Didnt mean anything by it.
Im sorry. Didnt mean anything by it. Thanks BTW ZombieLoffe, your avatar scares me Idk why, it is just very scary....
BTW ZombieLoffe, your avatar scares me Idk why, it is just very scary....Make sure you unzip all your ZHLT files to C: Valve Hammer Editortools. Then reconfigure your directories in the Build section. (Also, make sure its set for Steam)
I am wondering if there is a way (In hammer for cs 1.6) to make an invisible wall, where on touch you die. I would use this for a bridge level Im making. For effect, I am putting water under the bridge, but doing so will allow players to get out of the map. If I could put a "deathwall" above the water, then the map would work out great. Is this possible?
(Does de_vertigo use deathwalls? )

nm I figured out Thanx anyway. Maybe you can look at my map? de_household (CS 1.6, Completed maps) (Very first map) (Pretty good)
Thanx anyway. Maybe you can look at my map? de_household (CS 1.6, Completed maps) (Very first map) (Pretty good)I want to upload my map to TWHL. Do I create a job in Winzip, and do that or what?
Thanks I just downloaded Win bsp
I just downloaded Win bsp I just want the APC from Militia. Im having problems getting downloaded prefabs to work, and Im not sure how to fit a vehicle texture to a brush so its the right shape. BTW, what are those programs called?
What I mean is getting the .map file of a pre-existing CS 1.6 bsp. (What I want is militia) Is this possible? Should I look to download the .map on the web, or can I somehow convert the bsp to obtain the .map?
I dont mean replacing the other qrad, etc.... directories in the tools/options tab. I already did that, and get access denied. I mean another way to compile becides hammer.
How do you compile with ZHLT? I cant figure it out . Any link that says batch compiler it is a broken link.
Will replacing ZHLT tools in Worldcraft mess up my map in progress? (Its using the q tools)
I compiled my map, and got an error sayind "qrad timed out, and will close". I then went to play CS 1.6, or any mod, and now it opens the mod/game, and automaticly restarts my computer! Can anyone help me fix this? (Becides using system restore)
Thank you! Finally I can finish my map!
Ive read all posts, and tutorials similar to my problem, and nothing is close. I need models from cs to use in worldcraft. I use GCFscape to export the .mdl files to worldcraft. I tried getting .map files on worldcraft from existing maps (militia, assault) .map files are not displayed, so how do I get models to use in worldcraft? Worldcrafts model holding files are .ol. WALLY, or GCFscape cannot open them. How do I get to use these files on Worldcraft??
P.S. THis is my last post for awhile. Its the last thing I need for my map. Also I dont want to get banned for spamming. Please someone help me!
Is this a problem caused by Steam?

Sorry, Ill be more dilegent in my searches.
I checked and it was not there. Geez, Im just looking for feedback. Im not spamming the forum. People dont post here often, so their post wont get lost. I just started mapping 2 weeks ago, so naturally Im gunna have questions. It was not in the forum database, so I posted. I dont spam intentionally, geez.
I need models from CS 1.6. I use GCF scape to view the files locked in GCF format. Worldcrafts prefabs are in ".ol " format. How do I view and import .ol format models to worldcraft for use? Is it even a matter of aquiring mdls, or do I need to change the tools options??? Im puzzled, and need help.........
My map wont display any HUD when I load it. I dont know if it is the configuration, but its all set to CS. Can anyone help?
I searched the forums for any question related to this, but found nothing. I need the CS .wad file for its map textures. Steam doe snot show the .wad files for CS. How do I obtain it, and if I cannot, where can I download it?
Got it to work! THanks. It had to be in the mod directory.
I created custom textures and put them into a custom made .wad. The dimensions of the textures are divisible by 16. I add the wad in the tools texture menu. I tried both ways to add your own textures that are given in the tutorial. I get the error after I load the map: Could not open mike.wad. (Thats the name of my custom wad) Can anyone help? (btw im using the qscg, qrad, etc, not ZHLT)
U mean regular sized pictures (JPEG, GIF, etc) into Wally, then convert them into a size and pixel ratio compatible with Worldcraft, Then bring them into the .wad?
Thank you
I was wondering if you open a .wad file through Wally, will it allow you to import more textures to the .wad file?
I am trying to make a door texture fit with a brush I created. I allign the texture by pulling, and cutting the brush. After that I move the brush (which is a door) into the spot where I want it to fit. The texture seems to not stay with the shape as I move it. Its very frustrating. Can anyone help?
Thanks. I was wondering about the AWP actually. Thanks
Sorry its CS 1.6. I want bullets to go through.
What determines if a wall can be shot through? Thickness, or something else?
Sorry, just wanted to post that the maps are good. The forum definitions seemed obscure, so this one was the closest to me.
I was just looking at the map vault, and downloaded 2 maps. They are so well done! These people are pro! I tip my hat to anyone who can make a decent map! I hope I can someday be as good as that! ( I started about 3 weeks ago)
Thanks. I found out the problem. I forgot to delete the last brush on the wall by hitting ignore.
Thanks. That 3d textured camera view is alot better! Ill upgrade to 3.5 and try again.
I have 3.4. So simply changing to the newer one and following the directions will fix the problem?
How do I switch to 3d texture view? Also, if I dont carve, how will i create an entrance to the hallway?
Im on the "In the beginning part 2" tutorial which is connecting 2 rooms with a hallway. Im having a problem. I create the hallway, select carve, then hollow. I make it so the hall connects between both walls. I compile the map and there is a wall where the entrance should be. Im not quite sure if I understand the tutorial completly. Can someone help me? Thanks
Finally after much aggravation I compiled my map! Thank you TWHL forums for al the tutorials and help! Excellent site and community! I?m so happy! Ill probably be back with more questions! THANKS AGAIN!
Compiling my map was a huge hassle since Steam has all the .wad files locked in gcf files. I however found an excellent tuturial that works great and is up to date with Steam.

My map compiled into a bsp, and was put in the map directory, but when I run it through the console it starts to load, then exits CS and gives an error in a window :
Mod_LoadBrushModel: maps/betamap1.bsp has wrong version number (571084155 should be 30)
Can anyone help?

Ive been having the error: cannot find proper dll file to load. I changed the game executable in the build programs to another directory. Since im making a CS map, I thought it should go to CS.exe. There is no CS.exe, only HL.exe, or hlds.exe I tried other outside compilers, but when I opened them it said cannot open, program will terminate. As this happened, a MSDOS window flashed on the screen for a second. Please I dont want to move on in map making until I get compiling down. Please help!
This happened after i read 4 different compiling tutorials, went over my settings 4 thousand times, and did so many different searches for help. Each time i get a a different error message. This time it was could not get dll to load. Ive seen the dll file in Steams directory, but i dont know what it is. Does anyone know how to help?
Thank you in advance
Thank you in advance
Thank you so much! I knew it had something to do with Steams directory. Thanks for helping this helpless noob
Im having very bad trouble compiling my little map. I get an error in Worldcraft saying cannot access, access is denied. I follow the tutorial on the site for compiling, but it still wont work. Do u know how I can fix this?
