First time trying Sven, Urby?? It's great fun.
Does the SnC server still exist? Any consideration of running Sven on it?

You can't use a switched light with a Preset Appearance. However, you can fill in any Custom Appearance (including copying the Preset Appearance values) and get the same result.

Copy & paste if both maps are open in the same instance of Jack.
Sorry, I won't be completing a map for this. I worked a bunch on one idea, scrapped it. My second map was actually telling the story of its own construction, like fullbright blockout to undetailed basic textures, to polished and detailed as you progressed. I think the most appropriate ending for that map is that it remain unfinished, poetic.
The work did get the creative juices flowing again, I still hope to actually participate in one of these projects.

If you still have trouble, I suggest building 2 tiny test maps just to work out the level change stuff - and then you can copy & paste the entities to your real maps once you get it all working correctly.
Yeah it looks like you have things set up OK. The issue might be that your trigger_changelevels are in exactly the same place in both maps. Check the tutorial again - they should be in different spots relative to the landmark.
OK, Sledge is fine. But I can't open these files as they aren't the right rmf format. Try resaving as rmfs or .maps and reupload.
Um it sounds like you're trying to use the Source version of Hammer to map for Goldsource. I don't think that's going to work.
Why are these vmf files if you specifically say Goldsrc?
OK, are you sure you have the locations of the triggers set up right too? It might be best to upload your 2 maps to the Vault and I can have a look.
Double check the landmark names and the settings. This is a good reference too: http://twhl.info/tutorial.php?id=62
Damn. I want to say I'm in and can finish in a week or 2 but knowing me I doubt it. 
Good to see people making progress. I am also nowhere near done, and most of my map is just blocky dev textures at the moment. Might have something to show tonight.
I don't see anything in the description that says it fixes missing faces.
@SSB
It's great that tiny missing face is fixed. Now you should fix your texturing.

I didn't realize you were compiling all the maps. If everyone sets up and names the level change stuff correctly you shouldn't need to.
edit: yeah that might be a big "if"

Subdirectories for custom content is good.
But why are you merging all the custom textures into a single wad? It seems like unnecessary work - people can just embed their custom textures - that way you don't have to worry about renaming textures or merging wad files.

I have a map concept and a few scattered ideas, but no idea how I'm going to put it all together zonked -This is exactly my problem. I'm just jamming things in my map to see what fits and how it might all go together.
I've been working the opposite. I have a theme and idea of the 'feel' but so far I've only built in dev textures. It makes for a really ugly blocky map but I want to get a physical feel for the size of things I build.
I don't think Urby meant just even multiples of 16, you want powers of 2 for sharpness: 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 on a side.
Actually "next stop target" is the same as "target" for path_corners (turn SmartEdit off to check). So trigger_changetarget will work.
Player can leave the 1024 cube, but must be "punished" which should probably be clarified. I also plan to use a fade + kill or loadsaved if the player falls off.
The player must stay inside 1024x1024x1024. Plus the player can walk on the top brush of that cube.
Other things can be built outside the 1024x1024x1024 area.

Yes, the rules as written are different here. I think Tower allowed minimal stuff outside the volume, 128 units I think. Here it's a totally different story.
I have a big problem with scope control
PS: Where is Half-Life Vanille? Just made by Sam's Hl-SDK? But I don't see where is Vanille. Thanks!Vanilla HL is the standard HL SDK, not Sam's. Regular hl.dll.
I think the tools complain about multiple entries if a texture is in both info_texlights and the rad file. But the fact you're using the default is all the info we need. Thanks.

It's ok, usually things I say don't stand up to scrutiny either. 
Urby, recommendations on the airlock:
- Make a second airlock and add the changelevel entities as soon as feasible (so we'd have 2 copies, coming and going)
- Put in an info_texlights for the lights in the airlock or tell us your settings - so that if we leave it as-is it looks the same from map to map
Possibly in. I also recommend a rule disallowing the longjump module, since you can't remove it once given.
I love what Spirit offers and although I've found it to be stable, I've run across many things that don't work as they should or as documented.
So in short, I'm in favor of Spirit but ok with vanilla too.

No there are both 32 and 64 bit versions of VHLT.
Have you tried the 64 bit version of hlvis?
You should be fine. Don't move it brush by brush. 
You don't need to call lights.rad, the compile tools automatically load lights.rad and mapname.rad.
Your bad surface extents problem may or may not be related to this.

This is cool, strict and interesting rules are good. I suspect that was one of the problems with TWHL World, we had no restrictions on map type or setting or length or anything.
If only there were some way for the entrants to virtually duel to the death to determine the winner...
Cool, Archie.
Still aiming to finish mine in the near future.

Try trigger_endsection in singleplayer in place of game_end
Was this "The Xenomorphs Are Screaming"?
Well not looking good for my map. I'll finish it, just very unlikely to be in time for the deadline.
Fair enough. But... I don't think wadinclude worked back then.

You must use VHLT.This. Wadinclude was added by Zoner, so it's not a recognized parameter in the original compile tools.
Gearbox fixed it in opfor.wad at least:
Lookin good, Victor!
The damn "Ordinance" sign is killing me as always.

im pretty sure wadinclude includes the entire wad, you used it or not.
right, -wadinclude includes the entire wad you've chosen. It doesnt only include the textures in the map you've used, but it includes the entire wad. Also, if you've used several wads, make sure to -wadinclude each one.Not true. Both wadinclude and nowadtextures only embed used textures. And you don't need to wadinclude each one - wadinclude matches partial filenames and folder names, so you could dump all your custom wads into a folder called e.g. "blastpit" and -wadinclude blastpit would embed all the used textures from all the used wads in that folder.
No worries. Wait till people learn you can -wadinclude folders!
Unq, would -wadinclude op4.wad not include all of it?Nope, both wadinclude and nowadtextures only embed used textures. So you're fine just wadincluding any non-HL wad for HLDM.
If your entry is for HLDM, i suggest making a new wad with only the textures you're using.Can I ask why you suggest this?
