It's true, that there will be a flood of mods. And given teh setting of HL2, they'll probably have similar storylines.

I'm not trying to change anyone's decision. Just saying...

In the future, don't scale textures above 10 or below .10. That's the cause of these errors for me.

I'd be mildly interested in being a mapper if it means a lead position.

Vox, having textures scaled above 10 often causes those bad surface extent errors. Scale the textures to soemthing like 9.90 for faces that still might be rendered but not visible, or use NULL.

You could use a scroll texture, but it would probably look unrealistic and ugly.

If you try and link things like pipes, its much easier to use the clip tool, just a thought.

For very complicated things like terrain, you should use a series of triangles or individual shapes to avoid these errors.

in File Read Failure Post #46538
I have a rather large map that I have been working on for the past few days and to do a test entity compile, made a gigantic box around my level and compiled, as I don't have the outer sky walls in place. (To be removed once I test this entity setup, don't flame me on why this is bad, please.) Compile runs fine, no errors or anything, and only when I go to test my map I have an error. Steam gives me a 'Fatal Error: File Read Failure' shortly after I type 'map d3' into the console. I am speculating this isn't due to my gigantic box, as that would cause a rendering error or extreme lag in the engine, which is what I was expecting. Tommy14 suggests a corrupted HL install, though it can run other maps fine, viruses, though I did a scan and have none, or other issues which are not applicable or nonexistent. I've compiled with only two wads, halflife and my custom.wad, although one of the textures is probably larger than 512x512, I haven't checked. Could that cause an error?

You know, Hammre will still be the editor and I believe VALVe has said that it should be easy to get HL1 maps into HL2, they just need to be run through new compile tools...new weapons and such would be harder though, but the maps could be converted over to HL2.

You can use halflife.wad for a CS map. I don't think CS has xeno or liquids.wad, though. Check the GCF and see if they're in there.

If you compiled for 1.5 it should work fine for 1.6 but you wouldnt have the features such as weather, that came with 1.6.

Also, you can't run hl.exe through Hammer/Batch Compiler after the compile is finished with Steam, as it will not let you execute hl.exe unless you run it from the Steam launcher menu or a desktop shortcut. You'll need to manually run your map via the console or the Advanced Options in the Half-Life properties dialog.

Besides, when HL2 comes out, there will be a flood of mods, probably similar to this one, and it might get overlooked. If it's developed for HL1, then it has a better chance of being played by a wider audience (whoever cant run HL2/doesnt have it/still plays HL1)

I don't think so. They need to be wavs to be played with an ambient_generic, which is the way to play sounds other than a trigger_cdaudio which is only for the CD music.

If it just says 'Cannot find map 'test" in the console, you might have had a compile error. Check for a file called test.log where you compiled the map and post the contents here, that can help us figure out the problem.

game_player_equip.

Restricted weapons are a server setting or game mode setting (ES and AS)

Steam/smoke need sprites, unless you map for NS.

Extract the WADS from the GCF and put them anywhere....Steam looks for the default wads in teh GCF. No need to wadinclude.

Make sure it's in valvemaps or cstrikemaps. I know CS used to have a maps folder in just the Counter-Strike folder, that's not where they go.

If it still cant find the map, check for errors in Hammer (alt-P) and in the compile log.
