Never used Sven-co-op, anyway, I would insert a sprite like this:

Insert a env_sprite, in its settings set up the path to your sprite, set "Render Mode" to Additive, make sure "FX Amount" is 255.

Well, you need to help us to help you. What didn't work? How didn't it work? Do you get any error-messages, if so what do they say? etc.

If this is for HL1/CS 1.6:

A tips is to add in a info_player_start, those are about the same size of a player in-game, so you can use it as a reference while building the map.

For textures, add halflife.wad, it contains the standard textures used in HL like glass, sky etc.

in Hammer not saving (help) Post #245685
Maybe the latest version of your map has an error that prevents the new bsp from being created? So check your compile-log for errors.

in half life dedicated server Post #241617
Under the Game Configurations, set your game executable for steam.exe.
Then, hit apply, ok, and then go to File>Run (f9).

Make sure your on expert compile!
Find the $game_exe command.
Add these params: -applaunch 10 +map $file
After that you may add your other params like -dev and -console.
Found on google, not sure if it works though...

in Post your screenshots! WIP thread Post #241217
More and more gaming leagues are dropping support for 1.6 and moving onto Source, the same goes for the players I think. Nothing is really stopping you from mapping for the Goldsource-engine for the rest of your life, the question is if someone else than yourself will be playing your maps. And if there is none to appreciate your work I think you'll soon get tired and move on...

Myself, I will probably continue to map for GoldSource for about another year, then I'll move on, not sure if Source will be next, probably some other engine...

A workaround is to tick the box "Don't run the game" and just start up the game manually.

And spinakerjones, update your compiling tools to ZHLT.

in Pointfile help Post #239104
In the future, "Map" --> "Load Pontfile". If you're using Hammer 3.5 BETA you will see the point-file in the camera-window.

in Hint Post #239103
No. Your use of the hint-texture is incorrect. Go read up on some more tutorials.

An easier way of optimizing your map is to use the NULL-texture, you place it on brushes the players won't see(like you did here with the hint-texture) and that part of the brush will not be rendered by the engine in-game.

in Easy way to find grid numbers? Post #239059
If you got a leak, load the pointfile.

(The grid numbers are just the starting point of the pointfile and won't really help you find the leak.

in ambient file size restrictions? Post #238700
You also need to remove the cue points since it is a custom sound.
Remove them? If he wants a sound to loop properly he needs cue points.

First of all, I think both of your paths are wrong, if the sound is in "...cstrike/sound/ambience/kratos.wav" then the filepath in the ambience_generic should say: ambience/kratos.wav

Anyway, according to this site, the maximum allowed length of a wav is 3 minutes.
