Yeah, I seem to have ALWAYS problems with doors (instead, I?m just learning to map :P)...
This is my new problem. I?ve got two rooms separated by a func_rotating door. My idea was to have a soldier moving from one room to another using path_corners and, well, the soldier starts moving but blocks when reaching the door because it doesn?t open.
I?ve tried using the fire on pass with the door (and used it on several path_corners) but doesn?t work (on any of them), I?ve also tried some triggers only triggerable by monsters (setting them on the soldier?s path) but doesn?t work nice and it?s so difficult to coordinate.
How can I make the soldier move from one room to another opening the door on his way?.
Thanks.

To find invalid solids I go to map/check for problems. Then if there are any problems such as invalid solids you can just click on them and click fix or fix all of type. Hope this helps!

Why won't my map run? And what's MAX_LEAF_FACES and Bad surface extents (Of course, I know that they are caused by invalid brushes)?
This is a prob. I've had many times which prevents a map from running.

Uh, my fave film is...the 2 towers!
I don't think that i mentioned it earlier, but I am very new to mapping. (I just started about two weeks ago) I just wanted to ask you guys who are helping me, how do I find and 'invalid solid' or if there are 'trigger/entity' problems? I just want to learn this for myself so I won't have the problem in the future.
Thank you all VERY much for looking at my map and considering my questions.

abut now modeler tools 
what do you all people have agains skyboxes??
usually ladder waypoints are made when you place on at the bottom and one at the top then you should have a ladder waypoint(before i started mapping i waypointed)
one ring to rule them all

!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?Should have my new CPU when I get home!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
lol, SP's better.
I only do SP stuff. Having probs setting up games, and joining. Patch takes so long to d/load on a 56k. I've tried it on gamespy arcade as well. Program stops responding at some point.
I'll look this eve, maybe (getting my new proc, will be a bit busy :D)
Yeah. Great that it still works, eh?
The scientist won't actually pound the func_button... even though it looks like he is. You need to trigger the button (or a multimanager) by using the Target property of the scripted sequence. When the scientist stops pounding the window, the Target will be activated.
So, let the door target the Ai script, and the script target the zombie. Don't forget that the Zombie will kill the scientist regardless of what triggers are in place, 'cause that's what Zombies do. You are better off hiding the Zombie somewhere and letting him out when needed to kill the Sci.

Scientist? Zombie? Where? I've found three rooms: the start room, the little office, and one with two vending machines, a couch and two bins in. Can't find anywhere else
Hmm, wasn't sure.
Won't work Seventh... TFC is really dependant on it's own .fgd
I have opened it and the first thing that needs doing is assigining all the missing textures with a new texture, especially the AAA trigger texture.
There are some invalid solids and a few triggedr/entity problems.
Any of the above could cause the crash.
Will uopload something in the Map Vault when I get to it.

Well, I've finally managed to open it in Hammer, and now I'm trying to compile - using the HL FGD, though.
In my map I'm trying to make it so when I exit a door at the end of the hall, it triggers an AI sequence for a scientist to pound on a window, then a zombie kills him. I've tried making it so that the window was a func_button, and the scientist activated it, making the aiscripted_sequence for the zombie start, but it didn't work. I also tried making the multimanager activate the AI for the scientist, then having the zombie kill him a few seconds later, but the zombie killed him before I triggered the multimanager. Can anybody help me with what I want to do?

Have a look at the Dark Outdoor Maps and Environment tutorials.
A lot of the maps light depends on the brightness setting for the light_environment (The fourth figure in the line) but that doesn't fix the covered areas.
Are you using texture lighting?

someitmes the 30 day limit warning is so bad youd want to pay for it instead of getting it for free..... shipping detail, cost, how mnany, legal shit, on and on and on it keeps nagging you about
thank you!!!
I really apreciate someone looking at this. Mapping is new to me and i am finding this drawback to be very aggrivating. THANKS AGAIN!!

I had the same problem in the darker areas of Minimicus. I needed them brighter, but adding light entities wasn't the right solution and Map Brightness didn't work for me either. I was able to get the right amount of light by using the -ambient parm in the $light.exe compile command. I set mine to -ambient .0047 .0047 .0047 which barely lights up the dark areas. Try a higher setting if you need more light. The settings are very sensitive though, as you'll discover if you try it.
sigh :/ Thanks for the review (of your PC). I have an idea that might help. Try playing it on your friends computer....
erm sorry ot say this slayer but i think it sucks maby cause i get killed al the time by those dam grunts in the livingroom , bbut it might be my crappy comp wich even lags with hl in sp .
and i really think its my comp cause when i was testing someone else his his new pc in ut i imediatly made some multi kills and captured some flags in the first 2 minutes
som all damn my comp and pray to my saving acaount so i have soon enought money for a new pc
(just needed to empty my thuaghts)

You'll need some sort of trigger (a button, invisible place on floor, etc) to start the music.
Make a folder in the sound folder of your mod.
Name the folder whatever you want.
Find the wav file you want (has to be 22.025hz 8bit mono)
Name the wav something simple.
Place the wav in the folder you made.
Now place an ambient_generic in your map where you want the music.
Name the ambient.
Browse to the wav file in the folder you made.
Set it's properties.
Flags: start silent / not looped
Now make the trigger to start the music.
Have the trigger target the name of the ambient.
Set time limits, making sure it won't overlap itself.
Hope this helps.

Nope, didn't work. But as a note, i have compiled, left hammer open and tried to run the map to no avail, but then (with hammer still open) go back into half-life and run another map that I know works, like avanti or 2fort, for example, and those work fine. This leads me to believe that it is specifically a problem with the map. As for the textures, i may have gotten rid of them, but i'm not positive, i'll have to re-compile and check then. But this problem is fairly recent, and I'm pretty sure (though not positive) that at least one of those texture errors were present before the map completely stopped working. Can any one look at the map (it should be in the problem maps here) and try to fix it, cause i've tried everything that I can think of and even things that i didn't think of and nothing has worked.

Does anybody know how to make music play from one or more points in a map, such as the radio playing "can't touch this" in ts_hammertime

the bots are included with the mod, the instructions only tell you how to place regular nodes (waypoints), but i want to add more advanced such as jump, camp and ladder.

Well, many people seem to find that they have to compile, close Hammer, then run HL - tried that?
Command line would be something like:
d:hlhl.exe -console -game tfc +map traincomplex
You don't even need -console (that's just so, well, you can use the console)

The Map Brightness doesn't seem to do anything - why not turn up the light_environ? Badger badger badger
I use normal mode, and I tried compiling with the specs that you listed, but to no avail. I'll try the expert mode and hope for the best. As for the textures, I'm not quite sure how to find them, I know that a few of my entities were simply 'white' instead of a texture, so I turned them into a aaatrigger. But I don't see any more!

I am building quite a large cs map at the moment. I'm currently trying to do something at the lightning. My is way to dark. You can't see one metre in front of you without using a flashlight. I'm using a light_environment for the sky and lots of light_spot to produce extra lightning effects. But I need the map far brighter. There's some areas where I can't really put light because that would spoil the scene. In map properties I have set Map brightness to as far as 9000 but yet no effect. I'm using zoner hl tools. What can I do to get every texture brighter.
I think the links that seem to have popped up all over the world might have helped along the downloads
Maybe d/load probs...maybe they just love d/loading. Also, you don't need to be a member to d/load.
