Your *.wad file must be copied to the /cstrike folder ...black and pink squares means that the game couldnt find in the *.wad those textures you applied to them.
I suggest you to read the help file to learn how to use different tools and technics, like selection, terrian maker, movement and tag tools...and always save your map in *.qkm format, because if you dont your grouping will be lost (in tree hierarchy). I always find new things in it and the developers continuously working on new versions

I use only Quark for all methods, there are plenty of stuff in there which are missing from Hammer. Eg it shows the connection between the entities, treeview grouping technic, tagging sides, has very advanced vertex manipulation (not so many invalid brushes) and you can compile your map with console options(no need for another program like batch complier), but for texuring Hammer is better, cuz you can select faces in the 3d view(only disadvantage I recognized).
Try it with bots...
THX for the explanation. I am mapping for cs1.6 and I think I am using custom dll's, cuz I have never modified it. Maybe the problem caused by something else, everything worked fine until after a simple compile on some of the areas the footsteps cant be heared...did everybody modify the dll's itself?...what do you mean on something else? I have no error in my compile log...
I really dont know anything about dlls, pls tell me more about your idea.
There are two textures which have this problem. Both of them are new, but the areas where the footsteps can't be heard have the same textures, where it can be heard. So if I make some changes in the materials.txt that would solve the problem? I am going to try it...THX A LOT...xD
Hello,
My friend has a serious problem. On the most of the map the footsteps can be heard, but there are areas (also flat and non-flat) where is can't. A little slide effect makes it more tricky, so when stop the player moves just a little bit more. Can it caused by the vertex maipulation or just a bug which can be solved by rebuilding the floor?
many thx
Sending the map only in a private message if necessary...cuz it is not my work

I don't know why do you want to trigger the door, because it will automaticlly open when you touch it. BUT if you like, use a trigger_multiple to open the door and set a value for the door 'delay befor close', thus the hostages can run through it before close.
I think Wally is the best for making wads...xD
You can't save your map as a *.bsp in QuArK, but can save it as *.map and *.qkm. I am sure, using it about 2 years. You have to compile the map like in Hammer...
Anyway can you turn on the gl_wireframe now? I was just so amazed, that I cannot edit my last post, because it wasn't the last one in the topic. I didn't want to make any trouble...just surprised...xD
One thing I forgot and I cant edit my post????!!!
Ghetto, you have to apply the changes it the properties window!!!!

The map cannot be downloaded, but so interesting, did you even try the NULL texture, this can cause almost the same...the faces which has NULL texture are completily stop out from the compile process, as I know SKY can be used as like 'NULLing'...
Srceenshot of my cs1.6 icon's property:

before doing anything my destination (or what, just see the picture) looks like this:
"C:Program FilesCounter-Strike 1.6hl.exe" -game cstrike
add to the end of it:
-console +gl_wireframe 1 +r_speeds 1 + developer 1 +map de_dust
When launch the icon (cs 1.6 from the desktop) it is automatically start to create a server with de_dust...replace de_dust with your map name...

Your path is not the same, and the map name too, change it!!
You have to copy this at the cs 1.6 icon properties in the destination (I am not sure it is called like destination cuz I have Xp on my mother language).
This way when you clikk at the ikon twice cs 1.6 automaticallly create a server with your map. It is necesarry because you can only see gl_wireframe 1 or 2 on a not deathmatch server...as I know...this works for me xD

Also entities do not block VIS, but they do not split faces either since VIS sees through them...http://www.cryotank.net/maps/tutorials/rspeeds2.html
Convert it back to dust2.map, you can do this with BspTwoMap. But the credit part always has to contain the real author name. It is like steeling when you didn't do that, as I think...xD
As I understood his problem is that when he is tieing a brush to an entity the window which pops up (the propeties) shows nothing (blank), only thing he can do is closing it with the cross (like any other window's cross at the right top of it)...maybe...xD
Maybe reinstall Hammer...
The 'outside world' error usually caused by veretx manipulation. Was it the first compile of the map??
I just heard (not so much) about bump mapping, can it be used for cs1.6 and how?
You are right, but by the help of your drawn plan you have more chance to create a deathmatch map on which the teams have the same odds (think about meeting points)...I meant just draw a facile plan to get a better result...and you can draw more than one top view, 1th and 2nd floor (just think about the architect's job)...you can draw stairs, elevators and simple ways that go upper or downer levels as well...it is just a help not an exact plan...xD
Draw a plan, a topview of your map. I think layout is one of the most important. You can see the meeting areas (where teams meet) and in these spots you have to give advantage for both teams, unfortunatelly many maps have problem with it which looks beautifull, but this not so little problem makes the game no fun for one of the teams...So plan, plan, plan before start creating plenty of brushes as it was mentioned above...
I found the way how to make the changetarget process repeatable... 
I think I have the same problem because some of the entities not respawns so when if i die (or write kill in the console imitating a new round starts), the sequence can' t be reactivated. So in the example map (http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=4) after you activated the sequence (elevator up, explosion, falldown,...) you die caused by the last explosion and in the next round you can' t activate the elevator. I am mapping for cs1.6. Is there any way to make these entities respawnable??
Here is another example that not respawns: http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=37
PLS HELP...
THX...xD
