Maybe you should use the Lost Coast sand
My thoughts exactly...
This is probably cause your VMT has a mistake in it...
Make sure you VMT has this inside it:
"LightmappedGeneric"
{ "$basetexture" "ZeG/combine_zeg" }
Copy this exactly...And these files have to be in the materials section if you didn't know. Sometimes a simple spelling mistake can be fixed.
Also you have to use the same folder you dragged the TGA from so you can't say make the .vtf from a folder like ZeGrocks and then copy all the files in a different named folder.

Yeah this forum is for showing off maps or mods..But no worries 
Random tileling? I think it is spelt 'tiling' right? I am hopeless with spelling sometimes.
Anyway yeah elaborate as Zombie said cause yes textures can have a tile like effect if they are set to a small scale like 0.10...
Try resizing the texture if thats your problem.

Thats cause you are in what Seventh called 'Windows Noob Mode' where extensions don't change even if you rename them...I forgot how to change..I'll look now for youbut if I can't find it I shall PM Seventh.
Grr sorry can't find it but I shall PM Seventh for you.

...also noticed a few spelling mistakes by 'Crystalman' and 'The Hunter' in some threads.
How about find out for me then I can help you...I am not always so helpful.
Simple....Make a folder for now called ZeG and put the TGA in there. Then copy this folder in two places:
Depending on the game e.g. hl2, hl2dm, CS:S...I'll do HL2 for now.
Paste it here: C:Program FilesValveSteamSteamAppshabboihalf-life 2hl2materials
And here: C:Program FilesValveSteamSteamAppshabboisourcesdk_contenthl2materialsrc
Then drag the .tga in the SOURSESDKFOLDER not the HL2 one onto VTEX with Steam on and it will output it in the hl2 folder. Then simply copy it out and do the rest...Aka fill the .txt file with:
"LightmappedGeneric"
{ "$basetexture" "yourfoldername/yourtexname" }
And simply rename to texturename.vmt and then copy the two files into both folders...
Texturename.VTF and Texturename.VMT
I would make a video if I knew how...

Cap. is right...We rarely get spammers however I agree also that a 10 post spam block thing would be cool. I never post more than 10 a day.
I'll give it a go...

But I can't use Rapidshare...Can you host it on websamba or filefront please.

VTF2TGA...Never heard of it but my guess is like VTEX you just turn Steam on and drag the file you want converted.
So drag the ftf you want converted to TGA...Although you may need to do more cause when converting TGA to VTF you need to specify where it will be copied too. Try what I said above first and then if it don't work try Valve's Wikipedia.

Only one...Does hammer give any warnings? If not look for entities like env_message or env_text in a .txt format and delete them...
Anything HDR like...delete as well...

Like I said "I have never met a map that can't be decompiled"
Here you go: http://rapidshare.de/files/15920316/lostcoastvmf.zip.html
Oh and I did something to it so you can't make a de_LostCoast

...Did so much homework that i'm proud.
That was a joke ;PThere is? Which one?
Good remakes although I can easily tell you just copied the architecture..well the mountains I assume.

I reckon it can be decompiled...It is a .bsp and I have never met a map that can't be decompiled.
I use Vmex1...Vmex2 does the same thing for me.
...sat in front of my PC waiting for a really slow Bleach episode to load...
Yeah there are special SIM storage type cards that let you store the information on PC's although this type of software comes with the mobile phone...
...realized I have never heard of this game or seen 'I just 1'
Looking good...I remember when I re-skinned enemies! It was so much fun and I ended up making cartoon style enemies for a mod idea that died in 4 weeks:

I can help you there...I haven't updated my VMEX cause the new versions have things that stop you from doing other things...
So download an older version that doesn't have that silly menu...I just do this:
Have a folder with the VMEX stuff in it and then have the .bsp of the map you want to decompile in the same folder. Then at the top where it has C:VMEXprogram blah blah add at the end:
C:yourdirectorywhereVMEXisvmex dm_steamlab.bsp or whatever your map is...
The VMF file should be at the bottom with the same name as the map but with a p or a d at the end indicating it was decompiled.

What Hunter said...
Use triggers to activate it and in properties it should ask for the NPC name so type name in and trigger it to spawn and presto...
Don't ask me about using scripts because they are too hard for me.

Fine...Make allies blue like the levels...It reminds me of Tron where the bad guys were red and the good guys were blue.
In a way this is what mapping is about...There is no shortcuts and it involves quite some time...Just sit back and enjoy...Have a cup of tea and listen to some music.
Haha I knew it! I noticed he replied in the same style afterwards and I was suspicious.
(Dang did I spell everything right?)

Maybe you should have just PM'ed Seventh.
I tried this and gave up cause the texture scale is different...
Tip: Select multiple walls etc and apply material to save time.

First you can spawn an NPC with the entity: Npc_maker

To animate you need to use scripted_sequence for moving actions:

Salty first this is HL2...
Second Hunter is correct...
To do what you desire you place an ambient anywhere, go to properties and untick in the 'flags' section 'Does not loop'. Although I doubt you want a sound like owned owned to play over and over...I am assuming you want an ambient sound right? If you click on a sound in hammer is will play and most looped sounds will have the word looped on it e.g.
sea-waves-loop.mp3

You use the Source SDK that comes free with Steam if you have HL2 / CS:S installed.
You will see it here:
If you don't know what Steam is well...It is a 'Free' program that organises all HL1/2 related games into one list.
You will see it here:
Fun maps are well FUN! Me and Hunter had fun with this:
I just made a huge pipe that you fall down and fight or just free fall which is most entertaining and only took 10 minutes to make and optimize.
For some reason this .gif screwed up in the uploading process...Probs because it was too big.

@Madcow...Then what are you known for?
Thats one ugly freek I look forward to shooting!
Honestly I have no idea...That pic you used for reference...Did you take that from a Valve map cause if so decompile or wait for a reply...I'd decompile cause it is quicker...It is how I get most of my questions answered.
I rest my case...
Thats the sort of crap people don't give a hype about...Zombieloffe..Carry on using Firefox and i'll carry on using IE...
I could easily bitch you about Firefox but whats the point...

No they are bullet decals from HL2...Because he made it a func_'wall' it acts like a wall...
Hm simply make that window seperately and tie it to func_wall like Saltycrap said and then in properties tell it to use glass material..
Thats a guess hm...Tbh I doubt that idea works so try this:
Make an invisible brush and no no no that wont work...
You know I never really thought of this until now and I just can't think of a way to fix this...sorry...

IE works great for me..Firefox is nice but it just loads longer on my PC and Opera meh...I am 1. lazy and 2. happy with using IE...
Unlike some people, if you have good protection then combined with IE makes your PC nice and safe...
Firefox has some interesting add-ons and to tell you the truth I started off with IE like most of you so I am used to it...It has all my favourites anyway...My point is once you use something for a long time it is often difficult to change unless it is necessary so I see no reason to change when it runs fast, easy to use and has all my favourites...I have 300 favourites saved so if you can honestly be bothered to change then heh you need a life.
Finally whats the point of this thread...These threads are made daily and the end result is people argue whats better...Who cares!? I use IE and thats my choice...Seventh uses Opera and thats his choice! JAX uses IE and he can bloody well use it!!!
So stop saying oh I pwn you because I use Firefox or Opera...cause for Gods sake no-one gives a shit...

Env_Sun up in the sky...The place and angle you place it in depends on what sky you use cause some skies have light yellow spots where the sun should be...
Just place it and click turn on or something in flags.
