What version of the tools do you have?
I had the same problem in one of my maps, I downloaded the latest zhlt and it fixed the problem.

Hay guys, I have a problem with my laptop which is less than a year old.
The laptop wont turn on if its hot (like normal laptops) or even a tiny bit warm. The laptop has to be completely cool so it can turn on. Once its on its fine, but why is this problem happening?
Note: When I turn it on, and it doesn't work, the lights turn on, but the screen doesn't light up, no usual noises from the hard drive, nothing.
Any ideas : ?

The half-life engine is a very old engine, the way it renders the levels is very inefficient in todays standard, a very laggy map in half-life 1 ported to half-life 2, will most likely work fine.
My point is, half-life doesn't like big maps, it cant handle it very well, so either your map has poor vis or you have a poor computer. Don't use fast vis, see if that helps. A 4 hour compile time is nothing, trust me. Also don't tie big geometry (unless its complex) to a func_wall because to the engine, these entities are transparent, and the game engine will draw whats behind them, rather than blocking whats behind them as they should.

Ok, I added this in, at first I put some code in the wrong function and I was getting some nasty graphic glitches, after I fixed it it worked properly.
This effect is very good, its just like source water, thanks for posting it here chicken fist, and thank jason for me for the best water that we may ever see in goldsource.
If you got any other code snippets let me know because I am very interested:ciggie:.

I solved the problem folks and thehalflifedude, it had nothing to do with the code, in fact it was the crows walk animation. I'll cut it short because I don't want to create a wall of text, the crow's walk animation behaved like it had the "LX" flag, but it didn't, I have to fix that.
By any chances, is any body here a good modeler, I have a different question, still related.

Hows it going thehalflifedude 
Anyway, its not that hard to convert a hl2 texture to a wad, but its not a bad idea.

Thanks chickenfist, I'll check this out. I'm a bit concerned about this performance cost though, hopefully its worth it
Overall, looking very good Highlander, very good.
I must say that (forgive me buddy) some of the screenshots look a little plain. And everything is to neat, there is no rubbish on the floor, cracks in the wall, weeds, or any other imperfections, every thing is perfectly linear and in its place. These kind of imperfections is what makes a space more interesting. Just even some milk cartons on the floor or a plant of wood there or something. I've got plenty of models that I can send ya, just say the word :).
Over all, I like what I see, cant wait till the next set of pics, or update or whatever

Spike said:do it like 3 times and it will work.Yeah thats always annoyed me.
Yes, its a placeholder crate texture, as srry said, haven't made one for it yet 
Yeah, goldsource is a alright engine to work with, limitations are annoying though. Valve, please release the engine code, please.
Hmmmm, how are you triggering the monsterclip?
And what do you need the monsterclip for?

I don't understand you. Wally is a great program, it works perfectly fine for me.
Nice work muzzleflash, I like this.
Ahh, thats a good idea. Nice thinking.
Thanks so much guys, love ya all.
Daubster, I really like your idea of looking at the cockroach code. Thanks.

I have a huge headache and I'm about to go insane, I need some help 
I'm trying to add a crow into half-life. I have the crow's sounds and model, thats not a problem. I managed to make a new entity called "npc_crow" and link that up to the crows model and all, thats fine.
Now I'm not going as far yet as to putting the crows AI in, but I want to know where the hell you define a monsters animations in the code. I tried to look up the zombies animations, and had no success. HOW THE HELL DOES THE ENGINE KNOW WHAT ANIMATION TO PLAY WHEN!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
This is where I need some help. Basically, I just want to make the crow do an idle animation (and the next step would be randomly more than one animation) and I want to be able to kill the crow, and (this is what I don't understand) to let the code know which animation is the crows death animation, and to make the killing of a crow act truly work (not that I am for the killing of animals).
Any help would be much appreciated. Sysops, you've been doing some ai/monster changes in arrange mode. Pietrekder, how did you do it with your poison zombie/poison head crab, how does the code know?!?!?!?!
Thanks in Advanced,
Aaron

My mod is based of spirit of half-life 1.5a alpha 4. All I can tell you from experience is that all versions spirit has a lot of bugs. I recommend against using version 1.4 and 1.7.
And if you're a coder, you should get rid of the crappy spirit elight and add Highlanders elight code which is much better.

...what?
.Why don't you convert the hl2 models of rocks to goldsource. Its not hard to do.
Hmmmm, I think I have gotten this error before but cant remember how to fix it. Load up the map in hammer, and press alt p. See if there are any problems there. Oh yeah. See if the error is listed here:

Huh, downloaded two files from your site. Not bad 
Upload it in the map vault. I will find it for you
I find most of the coding tuts from wavelength don't work.

Have you read a c++ book or something like that before?

First of all, why the hell you making the sound such a shit quality? Half-life can Handel a 16bit mono 22050hkz sound. Also, according to the info you have given me, the correct pathname is ambience/kratos.wav. The "sounds" bit is not needed. Also, if you are triggering the sound, than you need tick the start silent flag.

In hammer 3.5 press ctrl+shift+g. I never knew that :P. Just thought i'd spread to people who didn't know to.
If you raise it one unit of the floor, than make sure you use the null texture on the underside of the cylinder
IMO, cliffs and other complex geometry should always be tied to some entity. It saves on compile time, wont cause glitchy lighting and shadows and in most cases, will save r_speeds.
If you tie the 2 cliff sections to make a func_wall so than you end up with 2 func walls, than make them intersect, that is fine. Another good idea is to place a clip brush behind the cliffs, this wont reduce the r_speeds but if the cliffs are complex, it will reduce clip nodes.
I dont need to. This is a mapping website
Thanks for the feedback. I am planning to upload some more maps and add some more sections to the site.
Adjust the weapon accuracy and range.

I play mainly first person shooters and racing games. I generally dont play rpg or third person games.
I like mapping and working on my half-life mod. I am very interested in the game development industry.
I am not a violent person, the only fights I get into are with my brother (13). I always win
I dont know to much about how the ESRB system works, in my oppion though, the games rating system seems to be very conservative. Games hat I have to be over 15 to play are not even violent. And everybody playes them anyway, no body really cares it they are to young.
I would let them play any game at any age unless if it was too violent. Games like Half-life 2 and Halo, I would let them play at any age.
I was allowed to play any games I want at any age. I do remember though, when I went to buy Grand theft Auto Sand Andreas, my mum was very reluctant of me getting the game (I was like 10 or 11) , and I had to be really good. But I got it that day.
No. Violent games and movies may cause like .0001% of this behaviour or encourage it, but they should not be at all responsible.
No problem

This is an error with a sound entity or something that emits sound like a func_train can't quite remember. But whatever it is, the default volume for the entity is higher than what the volume can actrully go to. For example if the volume can only go between 1-10 and the volume is set at 200 than it will cause this problem.
Yes, you create a cycler, than, you know the rest. Don't use env_sprite, there for sprites.
Whoa, nice website Urbanebula. Try this one Zeeba-g http://www.snarkpit.net/editing.php?page=files&game=HL&type=models

Go the Australians!!!!! Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy, oi oi oi!
Actrully this is a very interesting problem. This happened to me when I ported over a very old map from worldcraft 2.1 to hammer 3.5. I wasn't able to fox the problem.
I make my sprites in paint or a program like paint than use sprite wizard to make it into a sprite.

I think making realistic and sexy looking destruction and cliffs/rocky surfaces is the real challenge.
