Its always been a problem starting a map from inside hammer after a compile, just tick the flag "don't start the game" in the compile parameters dialog.

In half-life.wad there should be several, search for "glass" in hammer.

All you need to do is make the three fixed lights have 1 name.

in Allocating a Bomber Post #193790
You don't, but if there's an option to select if the map is a bomb map, switch it off and place a weapon_c4 at the desired spawn.

You can set a trigger_hurt to negative damage, and set damage type to generic, in that way it won't make a sound, keep in mind that it will heal players the amount set per second, so setting it to -999 causes them to get 999 health more per second.

I'm using ZHLT since the hour it was released, amckern(the guy who made the last few versions of ZHLT) posted a link in an irc channel.

You did know you should always reload the map after buildcubemaps, right?

Uninstall the update, you might want to install the last update before the lastest to avoid graphics downgrading too much.

To place models add a monster_furniture, but it won't be solid, so create a clip brush around it. DoD has an entity that makes solid models ingame. Make sure the standard wads are set up in hammer.

in Xen Healing Pool Post #193367
Xen healing pools are created by trigger_hurt with negative damage and damage type set to generic. As for your latest problem, either use texlights or don't name the light, light_spot and light_environment entities.

Maybe it takes a bit of time to load the background, with such an old computer it can happen.

Maps compiled with -onlyents after compiling full once will be decompile-protected.

If physics objects are falling trough displacements, add
-novirtualmesh in the bsp compile settings. It reverts displacements to the older version.

Doesn't it cut up everything into small brushes of 1 unit thickness? If BSP2MAP and WINBsp are merged we would have a good decompiler, but that would suck for honest mappers :P.

Remake the map from scratch, its not as hard as you think.

Always check for problems before compiling and during mapping.

Its usually a spike cutting a small (1x1x1) brush into brushes smaller than 1 unit in x y z.

Try to reduce the size of the name of the map, then compile.Try cs_testmap.

Also make sure to teleport the player to the end of the map, or he'll probaby end up stuck anyway.

Brushbased entities are considered models as well, try reducing the amount of func_wall's.

in 2 questions Post #191689
For #2 you should use a trigger_once placed on the spawn of either team, make it target a multi_manager which toggles the sound and off again when you want to, unless the sound doesn't loops.

in Questions Post #191598
There are a lot of brushes badly designed, there are brushes outside of the world, brush-based entities without a brush assigned to them. I think it would be better if you build the map all over again, unless it took a lot of work to build already.

Parameters: D:SierraCondition Zeroczero

You're making a map for condition zero, and you post this in source discussion? Also, it looks like there are several brushes leaking or in eachother, try going to the co-ordinates and see if there's a hole in the map or a brush inside another there.

You need to write it as bind x "impulse 101", you typed it as "bind x "impulse 101".

I just wanted to mention func_train works with path_track, that's all.

Something i found out when i was making a jet fighter for my map:
func_train works with path_track. It doesn't rotate, but it follows the path as normal. I just wonder if Osprey's would work with path_tracks.

in Half-Life Engine Question Post #190614
You could use teleporters to make the player get an angled view and movement, together with trigger_push this would make it look as if the player was walking on the sphere.
