Word, Penguinboy.
And I know what Strider is talking about, too. Are you really just making this mod as an excuse to show off your (quite excellent, really) prefabs? Because that's really all you've shown so far. No environments, no gameplay, no cool architecture - Just a bunch of planes and vehicles sitting around. Is there going to be anything else to it? How many models of aircraft can you really use in a first-person shooter?

It must be a real hassle, having your period key broken like that.
But seriously, I can't even understand what you're on about now. Work on what you're saying, so it makes a bit of sense. Then maybe I, or somebody else, can help you. I'm sure you know all the nuances of your map, but nobody else here has ever seen it before, so please don't reference details about it as though we know how it's set up.
I might also suggest you upload your map to the map vault, and let somebody check it out for you.
P.S.

Second time he double posted, he was bumping to get some attention.
So what? I didn't think he started on the stairs, but he must walk down them, right?
Espen, carving windows and doors in walls will cut the brushes up horizontally, instead of from floor to ceiling. This makes it harder to manipulate later on.
And Strider... I just don't understand you. How is clipping not neat and controlled? You define the exact way you want your brush to be split, and you apply it.

Err... I don't think it IS in CS. It must be a custom FGD, because the default one doesn't have any monster_ entities in it.
If the stairs are func_breakable, it's possible that he'll refuse to walk on it, although it could be any number of other reasons. For instance, you mentioned that he blocked you on the stairs. If they're narrow enough to do that, then that's likely your problem.
Clip tool is fucking awesome, and extremely useful. Otherwise, you would have to work with a bunch of different blocks just to get a shape you could easily form with the clip tool in a second. Maybe I would have more reason to believe you if you actually explained why it's better not to use it.
Those other two tools are practically useless though. The hollow tool promotes blocky, unoriginal brushwork, and carving inevitably leads to sloppiness.

I'm well aware of the many uses for the main program included, and I'm not mad at all (STFU Luke), But you can hardly say that everyone who uses a computer will find a use for it... especially considering that most people never do anything but check their email and surf the internet. Indeed, it would be hard to deny how versatile a tool it is. Besides that, I was referring to everything included in the package, not just the main feature of it. My outlook is not narrow, kthnx.
Luke, World Crafter: I really don't see how this stuff could be useful to anyone other than game designers/mappers.
Alright by me, but please get working on that faster.
The new DLL sounds great! The disappearing HUD will be extremely useful for my cut scenes.

Also notice that it plays a different animation when you hold the alternate fire button down. 
No, you don't. Cue points are little things in the WAV file itself. They define when it should start and stop looping. Looky here.
I'm not sure why these are needed exactly (why can't the sound just automatically loop once it reaches the end?) but... they are.

Do you have the cue points in place?
Nope, you should be fine. No need for a trigger, just check the correct flag so it starts when your map does. This is assuming your WAV has cue points in the correct positions.

Did you even click my link?

No, you can't include them in the map like textures. Whoever is installing the map just has to place the TGA files in the correct folder themselves.
What do you mean, "so they don't have to go out and download them"? Just include the skybox images with your map.

The Half-Life engine (GoldSrc) varies so much between mods, you can hardly call it the same. This particular thing is only possible in Spirit of Half-Life, or Spirit based mods, so it does matter.
If it's going to be in a mod format, no problem, but if you're just making this as you would a regular HLDM map, then everybody who plays will need to have Spirit too.
I don't believe there are any tutorials on something this specific, but if you got to know Spirit better, I'm sure you would pick up on it.

Oh... wow. I don't remember you using your own name before, though.
I don't remember you using your own name before, though.Pfff... Simple way... 
It's not possible with regular old Half-Life, but it is on Spirit. I don't think you can control them both at the same time, but it can certainly be attached to the train.
Oh, and it's not really so obvious that it's for Half-Life. This forum section is for Half-Life and ANY of its mods. I'm sure you know there are thousands.

GrammEr time!!!
If you actually meant a one-way mirror, then yes, I think it is possible, with enough work. When you're on the mirror side, you would have to have a copy of the entire room you're in being rendered on the other side of some glass, within another room. However, this copy of the room would have to a func_illusionary, and you would have to use an env_render to switch it to invisible when you're on the other side of the mirror, looking through at the room with the mirrorred side. I might try it some time, just to prove it can be done. 
Onoz Rimmy, you gave away part of the contents of the package.
Yes Dave, you are a thief for downloading this. 
You? Banned? In this place? Pfff... you'd probably have to kill one of the moderators before they would even think about banning you. Just look at Dave.
DOUBLEPOST BANBANBANBAN!!!
Err... No it's not, BJ, and I never said you should put it in a wall. All a landmark does is let the engine know where the two maps are in relation to each other, so you stay in the same position when the transition happens.
And from the official tutorial here:
And from the official tutorial here:
The info_landmark sets up a constant point of reference in the origin and destination maps. It must appear in both maps otherwise the level change will not work correctly. The origin and destination info_landmark must both have the same Name (targetname)
So basically, it's the same info_landmark in both maps.
If you copy one area out of the previous map, and paste it into the new one, that area will be the same. This is the "same place" I'm talking about. If it's off, then you could spawn into a wall or the floor after the level change. That area that's consistent between the two maps, that's where you want to place it, because you can refer to the location of it in both maps and make sure it's in the same position, relative to everything around it.
I was downloading at 230+ kbps... maybe the server location is in the U.S.?

Nobody wanted to do that last time somebody suggested it. And what it sounds like you're saying is, you want to start a compo that's all about throwing a bunch of premade props into a room, am I right? Well, that's exactly why it hasn't happened yet.
Gee, sorry for insulting your profoundly high level of intelligence. I'll be sure never to suggest any mapping techniques to you again, my all-knowing friend.
Besides that, I wasn't talking about sprite trains, or anything complex. Just two trains following the same path, which as I guess you must know, is ridiculously easy.

What's so pathetic about it? I don't know of any better ones.
Yes, the landmark has to be in the same place in both maps. It doesn't matter where in the map it is, but the area where the level change goes on is usually the only consistent thing between the two maps, so people put them there.
Also, if you have the trigger_changelevels in the same position in both maps, it'll probably go into some kind of infinite level change loop, although I'm not sure (I've never tried that myself.) It's a good practice to keep plenty of room between the two trigger_changelevels, so the player doesn't skip right back to the previous map if they step backwards after the level change.

And does the changelevel FROM one room still have to exist in the other if the swap is one way?Even if the level change only goes one way, you still have to have a trigger_changelevel that leads to the previous map, yes. Put it in some secluded spot in the map, or just check the "USE only" flag.
I totally ignored this thread until now, but...
I always hated wow and never played it.MUAHAHAHA! Man Elon, your humor is the best. Wait, you were joking, right? No? Oshi-
hlcsg needs those WADs, so if they aren't found... well, then it doesn't work, and all the stages after that don't work either.
In the compile log, did it actually say that there's a leak in the map?
I'd suggest the first Max Payne, if you're looking for something older. I got it on eBay for $5. :0
While you're at it, you could do as I suggested, and have some ambient sounds emitting from the lamps...
You know what you could do? Use Spirit. Or, you could just make another func_train follow the same path_corners as the plane, and use some neat effects with the additive property. Check out the beginning of Heart of Evil for an example of this, where they had the propeller of a helicopter in a separate entity.

Alright... I'm going to have to assume Hunter is a genius at interpreting vague, trippy, fragments of thought, because I really have no idea what to make of that. 
Lulz, what the hell do those other games have to do with anything?
Yeah, I was thinking you should have just used that concrete texture for the side, like you did all the other stairs.
Hold on, I'll get a screenshot...
There.
There.
Put that in the Map Vault dude, it's pretty decent. We need moar school maps in these hard times we live in.
I saw that too, but I didn't think it was a flaw... I mean, it would be pretty hard for him not to notice it. I just assumed he left it like that intentionally.
