You could make the ceiling fall more realistically, if it was a func_tracktrain following path_tracks
Use func_doors and func_door_rotating for individual stuff like girders, ceiling tiles, light frames, etc.

Do it quick srry, or I will

@Inventrex: I think that--Game Executable, Game Directory-- would only be an issue if you're running the game from Hammer, and I know Tosse isn't doing that 
Should also be noted if you want your sprites--or models in 3.5--to show up in-editor, these fields become more important
Besides, this error was really bugging me so I tried all sorts of stuff, and the only way I was able to duplicate your error was from entering an invalid path for the sprite.
Straighten out your paths man!

It certainly broadens what you can do. There's architecture I can pull off the first compile now, that I wouldn't've even attempted prior to using HLFix.
At the same time, the exquisite architecture you can pull off, often isn't very well appreciated using the Half-Life Engine. Simpler stuff looks just about as good in game
I still think it's absolutely essential though... While over-detailed brushwork doesn't "show" the greatest in HL, those awful edges that don't line up--without HLFix--are instantly, and terribly recognizable

Using a monstermaker, with the "MonsterClip" flag checked.
I have func_mosterclip brushes--textured with AAATRIGGER--surrounding a shallow hole, intersecting the bottom brushes, and far too high for a snark to jump over.
However, they pass out of the hole seemingly unimpeded!

A gave it a quick read-through, and I detect no spelling or grammar issues.
However, you might consider differentiating text that denotes keyboard keys, by capitalizing them or something.
Same with menu bars/buttons/commands--use italics or something.
These are really just style choices really, so whatever...
Looks really nice so far =)
Oh, and the all-time important question:
Is it Modelling or Modeling

Upload .rmf to problems maps and see if anyone else has the problem.
No. You can't make the model solid.
However, you can create a brush approximately the size of it, set it exactly over the model, and texture it with the clip brush. Afaik, clip brushes donot create wpolys, and it will give your model a solid surface.
Hammer 3.5 is paticularly helpful for doing this, because it shows the models in-editor. You can do it without model support, just takes some trial and error to line it up properly

I have no idea what "portal clusters" and "numportals" are, but if your Vis is taking a long time, your map most likely has one or more of these elements:
-Huge skyboxed map
-Massive over-detailing
-Deplorable brushwork
edit: Yikes, didn't notice this was Source! Not sure if this applies now :

The error has nothing to do with the sprite it mentions. In my experience, it's caused from having paths wrong for some of you other custom content like sounds.
For some unknow reason when you put in a incorrect path for something, sometimes you'll get this error instead of it telling you what model or sound or .wad is missing.

You're using steam? I only had this problem with some maps using WON HL or CS.
Also let us know what mod you're playing.

lol he's talking about env_blood, not decals--I did the same thing
You can't move the func_tank, but you can make it look like it's moving.
Make 2 tracktrains, one for the tank turret, and one for the tank.
After the tank moves into position, env_redner the tank turret, and render the turret that is the actual func_tank--which was there all along, just invisible.
All the info you need for this is in Andy's tutorial... just add the tracktrains.

Or, make your decal with a transparent--blue--background, and apply to it's own brush over where you want it, with all the sides nulled but the front face.
It's not exactly what you want, but about as close as you can get without modifying the decals file.

Um, couldn't you just include the config.cfg and remove mouse movement with binds? Worth a shot imo.
You're right WCD, it's definitely an overused/Misused phrase, but most of the time it's simply true. It should also be mentioned to Search the forums too, but when you google, TWHL comes up anyway, so whatever
People should only be posting questions after they have at least searched the forums and/or our tutorials, and at the very least tried "doing it" themselves first.

Post your map in problems if you want, and I'll see if it does it for me... Maybe somehow a .dll thing??? You're using steam, right?
Thank you Ant and Hunter for the comments! My initial plan was to do this all without custom content of any kind--to make everything easier--, but I found it necessary to replace the vaporators with models--they were 200 wpolys a piece!--and I decided the custom sky was a must.
That said, I'm going to custom texture everything.
My biggest problem is the lighting for the models, because the map is so dark. Other than that, all the hard stuff is done, and my only regret is that I didn't get more done sooner, to allow for playtesting

Sorry! I thought you were talking about decal blood splashes--MY BAD!
LoL, you could make a mini "foyer" map, and press a button to load the difficulty level... You could be creative and do it nicely, but alas, I think you need coding to do it from the GUI.
You make a "lap bar" brush that squeezes Gordon into his seat.
Make it also a func_train, so it moves everywhere he and the coaster do.
Same concept as moving elevator doors tutorial here, well, in theory anyway

The decals show B&W in-editor but will have color in the game. Are you sayin in-game they are colorless too?
I always wondered about this myself...
So to get your own decal into the came, it has to be in "decals.wad"?

Still lot's to do... The subterranean interior spaces are very raw. No weapons placement yet... More props I want to change to prop models...
I have some fun/funny stuff I want to add like the Sarlac Pit, but I'm not sure where to put it or if I'll have time.

Using the Lightflag "opaque" on brush-based entities can be useful for func_doors--a bright room won't bleed into a dark area--, and allowing a brush based entity to cast a shadow.
Captain P has recently told me one major downfall of using these is substantially increased compile times.

There's got to be a way to do it. Try PMing some of our guys that code like Chickenfist. There are more people that code, I just can't remember who they are
They'll be able to tell you for sure if you need code or not, but just guessin I would think there has to be a wya or a trick to do this.
Neat AV btw

Perhaps check some Elite Forces modding sites. I don't know if they use .wads or not, but they certainly must have a way to get the original textures out of the game.
There's some good Startrek Themed cs and hldm maps out there too. Contact the authors and ask if you can use them.
Or just make your own, it's pretty easy, and there are loads of tutorials about it
