Thats what i call blocky architecture.
You need to type in the new target in the "new target" field.
Which is pointless and you know it. Are you ignoring my tips i gave you?
For crying out loud, use a GUI!
You too, Striker.

First of all, why would you upload a log file to RapidShare? You better had posted the log text itself in your thread.
Second, you need newer compile tools: http://www.themightyatom.nl/hldownloads/zhlt34x86final.zip
third: You have more than 8 wads loaded into Hammer. Remove wads from the list until you have 8 or less. A restart of Hammer is required.
Then recompile your map and see what has changed.

Aye.
Did you enabled r_detailtexturessupported and/or r_detailtextures?
I don't know, best to try it out.

Are you running HL in OpengGL?
Also, see what happens if you tune down hardware acceleration.

Hm supposedly there's a rumour that using the VPK extractor with Steam open may get you VAC banned since it means you can edit the skins to stand out etc...That doens't make sense at all. How are you supposed to create custom skins for the mod community if you're not allowed to extract them first?
To quote the AVGN: This blows my mind, its like WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?
What i really find annoying, is that you have to edit the pak01_dir.vpk file for every custom skin you want to install. If you have many skins installed, you're gonna lose track of it.
Seriously Valve, whats up with this method? It should be quick and easy, like putting the custom skins in the correct directory relative to the path in the VPK. But noo, you have to edit tons of files as well and if you screw up, the game doesn't want to load.
Mod friendly? No way in hell, dude.
Return the GCF file format at once, darn it!

Seriously, what a fucking pain in the goddamn ass!
Someone install this custom molotov skin:
http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/55423
and tell me if you get it to work, because i can't. I make the required changes in the pak01_dir.vpk file (why should we do that anyway? Skins with the same name and in the same directory relative to the one in the VPK files should automatically overwrite the original texture, like in all the other Source games!
Ill bet your ass you can't get this skin to work ingame, it makes your pak01_dir.vpk file invalid, and L4D crashes with a cannot find console/background01.vtf error.
I don't get it.
What a piece of shit method to install custom skins! Goddamn...

Very nice and all, but i want some ingame shots!
I tried your map, but i didn't see any sprites...
Like i said, its done in the code. There's no way to access that code as the source for CS has never been released.
Wut?
Half-Life singleplayer maps load just fine in deathmatch mode. No need to alter any entities or copy files over.
As for changing entities without decompiling:
You can use Ripent to extract entity data from a bsp file, load the ent file into notepad, make changes, then import it back into the bsp. Easy.

Don't listen to Skals...
I guess its simply something that the developers coded in. You could check the CS GCF's and see if the sprite is in there. You can then create your own sprite without any visible pixels and have that one replace the sprite inside the GCF, by placing your sprite in the sprites folder. That should overwrite the one in the GCF.
This will also replace the ingame sprites in other maps that use the same ground texture.
Im not sure if thats a solution though. Its your choice really.

I guess there's nothing to do about it, unless you make changes to the code, or go for fmod, which might not be a solution anyway.
Maybe checking the Play Everywhere flag fixes it, as the sound will now play throughout the entire map. Not sure if this actually terminates the sound_from_one_direction issue though. Best to try it out.
You need new compile tools.
Here they are: http://www.themightyatom.nl/hldownloads/zhlt34x86final.zip
You should've known, as you mapped for HL1 before...

Dude!
If you're not making/finishing this, i will personally hunt you down and shoot you!
So get to it!

First, make sure that all the wads that you need are in your valve directory.
Then in Hammer, check if those wads are actually loaded (in the texture wad list).
If they are, its probably still a good thing to remove them all from the list, then add the wads again.
Then close Hammer, so that those changes can take effect.
Then reopen Hammer, open your map, save, and export. Then recompile. Hopfully this'll fix the problem.
I also recommend you to clean your rmf directory, by deleting the junk files created by the compile tools. Do this once, because the Compilator will delete those junk file automatically everytime you compile, making sure the junk files are always up-to-date for the tools to work with. Just make sure you delete all but your rmf and map files.

Im glad you like the Compilator, i made it.
No, I don't.
To those of you who ARE using the Compilator:
THANK YOU FOR USING IT!
Someone mentioned RMF support....I could help with that if you're interested Muzz.Well, when version 1.0.4 is released, the Export to MAP option in Hammer will be obsolete. Why? Because i've incorporated HLFIX into the Compilator. When you want to compile a map, you simply open the rmf file and when you click the compile button, HLFIX reads the rmf file, generates and .map file which is then processed by CSG, BSP, VIS and RAD.
So, using the Export to MAP feature in Hammer is not longer required, because HLFIX will generate the .map file for you. The .map file generated by HLFIX is much more sophisticated than the .map file generated by Hammer.
Quote from the official HLFIX site:
hlfix is a tool that converts Worldcraft/VHE format files (.rmf) to standard .map files. In the process, it performs a number of geometric operations to fix common problems with brush geometry. hlfix is far more sophisticated than VHE's built-in map export feature. The purpose of this tool is to give map designers much greater flexibility in the type of geometry they use to build their maps.
Im not sure if this is what you were thining of, Peng.
Yeah yeah, whatever. Its still stupid.
Cheating in online multiplayer games has UTTER FAIL written all over it. Cheating in offline singleplayer games is fine though.
Post your full log.
Wut?
You really don't need that much texdata. 8192 is more than enough.

Not only that, this thread is old.
I think you're not giving the teleporters enough time to actually turn on and then off. I could be wrong though...
Try this:
master1 - 0.30
master2 - 0.50
master1 - 0.55 (to disable tele1 and make way for tele2)
master3 - 0.75
master2 - 0.80
master4 - 1
master3 - 1.05
master5 - 1.25
master4 - 1.30
master6 - 1.5
master5 - 1.55
changeme - 1.55
master6 - 1.75

I just bought it, its preloading now.
Try my method.
This is really weird.
I have the exact same setup as in Potatis example map, but nothing is triggered. Either the counter is not triggering anything or the game_text is faulty. So i downloaded his example map, copied his game_text into my example map, and only change the targetname, and it worked. I have the exact same properties as Potatis's. I don't get it. Looks like a bug.
Potatis's example map, may use less entities to achive the same results, I still think my example works better.

You mean Pyro?
How about... an official TWHL L4D server?

No, the relays must have the On state.
Try this set up:
Have all headcrabs target their own trigger_relay using the Death Trigger Condition and TriggerTarget.
Have each relay target one multisource with Trigger State set to on.
Have the multisource target an unreachable func_button.
Have the func_button target the multimanager which targets everything else, like the door you want to open, text messages and the like. Don't forget to type in the name of the multisource in the master field.
I tested this and it works. If you need the example map, just tell me.

Yeah, well, i upgraded some of its components in those 5 years.
What really makes me happy is that L4D runs better than expected on my five years old system, and i enjoyed my first time play.
I think im gonna get L4D.

Your last relay, the one on top of the relay stack, has a targetname of 11head. Should'nt it be 10head? I fixed it, and it didn't crashed anymore. Nothing happens after killing the last crab though...
You know, game_text have a tendency to crash a lot, so check the following:
1. No more than 255 chars (spacebars included!)
2. Not too long lines. Use \n for a new line.
3. If you have multiple game_text entities triggered at the same time, make sure they all have their own channel (4 channels max).
I just did a test here, and it works, but you must have each crab target a relay. Ill give you a step by step walkthough on how to set this up, first you need to find out if the game crash/lockup is caused by faulty game_text entities or something else. Let me know.

You can't have monsters targeting a multisource directly. Instead, have the headcrabs trigger a button or a trigger_relay which triggers the multisource. In other words, have something in between.
Are you kidding me? Is there not enough junk yet? I think there is...
It supports large amounts of text.

There is some serious entity work in that room.
Try using a front end compiler.
You can either get:
Nem's Batch Compiler (who's site is currenty offline again!
or
The Compilator, made by myself. The Compilator comes with a new set of compile tools that you'll need (version 3.4). Check out the development thread for more info.

Tried Steam Support yet?
Looks rather dangerous. No safety handles or grating? Also, use a different texture for the rail.
