Whenever I try to play A HL mod on the WON version I get an error saying that it couldn't load the dll. I check to make sure the dlls are all in place and they are. The only way I've heard to fix this is by copying the Half-Life's dlls into the mods but then you have to play though the mod as if you wer Freeman which wouldn't be so bad in some mods but for others like POV it ruins the purpose of the mod. The computer I'm currently using doesn't have steam on it and I don't plan on putting steam on it so I just wanted to play some mods with my WON Half-Life while I wait to get a new computer.

Duh

How do you place only the model of the gluon gun in the map?

Hasn't anyone ever thought that the Gluon gun is a noob weapon? It seems that half the time I go on HL:D it's overrun by people using this gun. This weapon requires no skill to use as it is easy to aim and even uses less ammo in MP. Not only this but it's extremely powerful. Now while it is the player using it and deciding to use it, a lot of the blame goes on the mapper. They are the ones that decide if and where to put this weapon and it seems often they put it right in front of our faces. I for one have never and will never put the gluon gun into any of my MP maps and never use it even when available. It just makes me angry when you get on a server and every time you spawn you barely get a chance to acquire a weapon after the glock and crowbar.

How do you create more spawn points for a multiplayer map.

Anyone know of a good place to get new texture packs

All of these questions for HL1

DM. It's a recreation of a map from the game Metroid Prime Hunters.

Oh wow I feel like an idiot now. Thanks though.

Yes It's name is cl_desert, that's a sky right? And yes I removed the sky and the map ran perfectly.

Yes I textured it with "sky".

I've been trying to make a skybox for a map I'm creating. I've done what I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to do, create a box around the map and hollow it, then choose your skybox in the map's properties. The only problem is when HL starts to load the map it freezes. Does anyone know what's wrong here, or how to fix it?

What was the best glitch you ever encountered.
Mine was when playing Half-life in the lab right before the fight with the helicopter on the dam. I killed a grunt and he started disappearing like dead bodies do sometimes when the map has to many. Then all of the sudden just as he started disappearing he got up and ran away but continued to fade so it was like a real ghost in HL. I regret not having fraps at time i've never been able to recreate it.

Never mind

and I put this into the "mod directory" in hammer correct?

I want to use the beta models this pack specifically http://www.moddb.com/games/half-life/addons/zelaroth1
for a map but without completely replacing all the normal models for in Half-Life. How can I do this? I'd like to use the beta zombie and some cut enemies but if I put these models into my models folder in Half-life it will replace the current ones.

Ok so a few years ago I had been really into Metroid games. I had recently played Metroid Fusion in which the main enemy was something called the "X" I liked the name and took it calling myself "Super-X" This name went though several variations such as Ultra-X and Omega-X. So that's the "X" but what about the "LAyer2"? Well my friend was playing Metal of Honor: Front-lines and in the multiplayer everyone started out with the name Player-1(2,3,4) he made a typo and his name ended up being 7layer-1. So I took the layer-1 moved the "-" and capitalized the "L" so it looked like this "X-Layer2". Then I made a typo of my own by holding down shift after capitalizing the "L" and there you go "X-LAyer2".
