Yes in theory he'll have to recompile because even so..By editing, this makes the map custom so people will still have to download it...Even with the slightest edit.
Gmod + Fixed VMF Exporter = Your Answer but that means recompiling it so...
There is a program that lets you edit entities...Forgot what it was called.

Thanks so much Rotator, you sir are in the credits.

Alright well I'll give it a go anyway once I can get some free time...So if you don't mind could you test it some more for me...It will also be a good lesson for others anyway.
own unique theme.That part caught my eye...I wreckon a nice different theme will win the battle. So far we have an island type map, we used to have an abandoned city type map, we have your grimey urban map, we have a sort of desert map and we have a night theme map.
So yeah I assume so.
Holy! That is some good use of 3D skyboxing. That bridge...Is it all made of brushes? The supports that is...
I do not know what to say...Really those pictures show a map I wish I could pull off...Good work...I might play this because it truly is inspiring.

Thanks for replying Hunter, couldn't really double post but yeah I meant coi'n'cidental...Not coicidental.
It's fricken 12:00 in the morning and you expect me to be awake?

Ironic cause me and Hunter are co-op mapping a horror map ourselves.
Use Gmod to get the right fog you want, I prefer it to manually typing it in console.
My question is how are you going to get your zombies to be like the ones from RE4...You'd have to change the AI I think unless you are just going to remove the headcrab and replace the sounds with RE4 ones...
Looking good.

I don't really have much time to try it right now but tell me this...Is that water at the bottom? I can't see it...It almost looks like the map is floating in the sky.
Looks good because you presented it nicely but give us more pictures.

And I'm far too busy with other competitions so although this is a nice idea I think we should leave it to the HL'ers.
Right I'll look at the compile log because it seemed ok but who knows...I might have missed some information.
So here's my question:
Did you make a new train and delete the old one and make that follow the track? Or did you make a new train, place it in a 'new' area similar to mine but didn't make it follow the paths? Cause when I tested this, it lit when I forgot to tell it to follow the paths.
Could you perhaps upload your attempted fix so I could see your actions and so forth.

I used it in my latest horror map and my TWHL compo map thanks to a kindly example by a man I shant speak of.
Quite simply it's a point_viewcontrol combined with path_tracks and if you want it to turn like you were getting up from a bed then you need to assign func_door_rotating and parent it to the camera so when it follows the path to the door which is a small brush covered in nodraw it rotates like it was part of the door.

The train will take the lighting from its place of origin and keep it even after it moves to the 1st stop... which can actually be useful in some cases.This seems plausible..Wait it makes sense! I was looking at the blueshift map and the train started in a box under the map full of...LIGHTS!..I wondered what they were for!
I'll try now.
Edit
I just don't get it...I tried it with the box idea, I tried it first with light1 as the texture of the box and a few scattered lights.
That didn't work so I tried black and sky...Although I fixed the blocking the train thing thanks to the above.
I think I'll upload the map if anyone wants a go...

Edit Below reply to Madcow...
Erm no I mean when they are inside the train, console complains that the player is blocking the train and it just stops until you either jump or move.
Anyway I tried putting an origin brush in it and tying that with it - No luck.
I placed a brush 'under' the track to no avail...
Madcows idea is impossible...I cannot make a train without some brushes overlapping slightly...Otherwise I get tiny gaps and the train looks badly made if done so.
Anyway I feel a few more pictures might help:
Flashlight on it: http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/457/trainpleasework0003vd7.jpg
Flashlight off:http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/8505/trainpleasework0004pa1.jpg
Also none of the textures are made for models...At first I thought that...I'm going to guess Madcow is right...But this complicates things, can any of you make a train without overlapping slightly? I don't think so...I have no idea what to do so I hope you do...

Madcow: You use it to tie complex shapes together so it makes it easier to compile.
Muzzle: I'll give it a go, my train is floating quite a bit above the track mind...And the track is tied to func_illusionary to stop the train from getting stuck in it although the player still can block the train...How can I prevent this?
I know HL2 is more of a model based game now but surely brushed based trains still work.
I'll report back if it works.

I've looked into this for a while and it has got me stumped...I was experimenting with trains and my problem is thus far:
When I compile my map with a func_tracktrain that follows path_tracks it appears fine. But when I test the map I get this problem:
http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/9409/trainpleasework0000om3.jpg
On the right is the train assigned to func_tracktrain and as you can see is pitch black. The two on the left are func_detail with lights inside.
I've tried the following:
Since light, light_spot etc don't have a parent option I tried parenting the train to the lights...This just makes the train dissapear in-game.
So I tried light_dynamic but that doesn't seem to light it at all...Nothing...
So I tried just grouping them in Hammer and obviously that wouldn't work.
If I shine my flashlight on it then it lights up in that area where I have shone my light on. I've builtcubemaps etc and reset the map for affect. I have no more ideas and searched for a similar problem...No-one on my MSN lists knows what to do so can somebody please help...

There's something about that car...It makes the map have a story...Like a couple of Mafia men stop off here and pick up a man to beat him.

Sorry Doodle...I didn't exactly forget you...I just didn't know if you were still entering.
Madcow: I believe someone on Iwannamap or Interlopers got that error...I suggest you look around.

So lets get this straight:
Rabid left so we have:
Trapt and Kasperg as the top competition.
That leaves room for 3rd place so either Madcow, Pepper etc could bag it.

You MUST place the second map start in the exact location as the end of the first map or the player will be loaded in that spot evenif a map doesn't exist there.
Two questions:
1. Did Rim model that trophy?
2. How come not many people entered the toilet one?

I have a 9800 Pro also and this has ben troubling me...At first I thought it was the weather but it seems as though my fan isn't as efective as it used to be.
Games like Gmod crash if three players on my server do lots of stuff...Sounds normal but it never used to crash so much.
I often turn my cooling fan for hot days and place it next to the tower.
Sounds as though others are having a problem...Maybe I've got dust as well since I've never cleaned it since day one. We'll see because right now it seems fine (Plus today, it doesn't seem so hot.)

Unless they're made for models...What is the name of the texture aka:
model/wall1
or
walls/wall1
model/wall1
or
walls/wall1
Looking good. - All I can think to say.
Haha I couldn't tell the difference between who made it! 
Revolution! 
It's gonna be hard to choose PS3 or Revolution
By the way N64 games are extremely easy to use on a keyboard...Especially Banjo Kazooie.

Hey thanks, I might use the OoT ROM to search for the Triforce...The hunt is on people!
I got a suggestion...Stop making these comics! They're 'TOO' good 
Where 'do' you get your ideas I wonder...

Too good...These sort of maps should be banned @_@
Try 'Narbacular Drop' Rotator and you'll see how.
Be careful with clients...They can cause VMF's to stop working...Annoyingly you gotta remove all mention of the word in notepad.

Post the Compile log and we'll see.
Also fix those models that are assigned to static...Or they wont show.
meaning no one will noticeWrong, people check all the threads because it turns green when you edit.
Does this error cause you problems...I recognise that error as a serious one.
Post the compile log so I can check.

For those who have turned on Steam you will have noticed Valve updated the EP2 trailer containing a bridge realistically falling, how the Hunters work, in-game footage etc. Also shows Vorts with new attacking ability and HDR enabled.
Looking good.

You make a prop_physic or prop_static and go to properties and select a model:

It has a sense of realism in it but maybe that isn't always so good...The colour of the lighting and sky and the textures match.
Custom road sign? Pwns.
If you keep this style it could work out provided you use a good layout otherwise one mistake and bam off you go.

If you are talking about when it says press 'e' to grab objects etc then you use env_hint or something similar like env_hud_hint...Can't remember it exactly. Be warned that you have to look up the correct name of commands otherwise Hammer crashes and your map will always crash everytime you open it and so you have no choice but to open the VMF in .txt format and remove all notations of the entity.
