I got GCFScape, cant find tutorial on how to use, I made a folder on the desktop for wad files to be stored, then I extracted the wad files from steam/sprites/czstrike to this folder, then I wnt to hammer options and added wad files, still not working, the question is are the wad files that are "extracted" just copied and are still left in the steam

Many thanx to you all for your help...worked a treat.. 
well I decided to save the map in my condition zero maps folder in steam, but some of the textures didnt get recognized, so I deleted the .BSP files and then deleted the sky box and made another bigger one. then I had to texture the complete map again and all is great, plays very well but still not finished yet, thanx to all for the help on this.

If you cant understand what im trying to say...I dont blame you, I wrote it and I dont get it LOL! ... if not then I will try to make it more ledgible (easyer to understand)....
... if not then I will try to make it more ledgible (easyer to understand)....yay, finaly a map that compiled without any problems, I have set up my editor to steam so my .bsp file is in the apps/my name/cstrike/maps folder.
I put the cd key in to compile but used the old version of cs, the reason I saved in the steam cs is that it is a newer version of cs and recognised the (for example as_tundra wad) but before I did all this I tried to save in the original first ever cs game maps folder but when I compiled it came up with as_tundra wad not found, the change to steam made the differance because I set up using the newer version of cs that has the wad files I used to make the map.
The question after all this rambling on is will it run in steam with the newer version of cs and even the cz game of counter strike??
Thanks LeFtY

I have a question that one of you might answer please, ok here goes, I made a sky box around my map 
, the question is after a succesful compile, can I make the area bigger by making the sky box bigger without causing any problems when compiling in the future, will the sky textur need to be resized (will it be streched) I know that we have discussed not using a sky box before but I am only new at map making and just want to experiment, but I have put to much effort in the map to bugger it up....
Thanx LeFtY...

ok, so as long as the floor, outer walls and sky all touch then I only need to texture the sky with the sky texture and bobs your uncle hey ?

LeFtY
ok, I thought you had to make the sky box or the map would not compile? but looking at the example it seems that you put the sky as close to the map as possible, does this mean that you make brushes individualy and close in on the map like a box and then texture the brushes with the sky texture ?, and does the map have to be completely inclosed so that no leaks will be present?
Thanx

ok Elon Yariv,
so did I do it wrong by making a box around it and using the sky texture... I cant quit pick up what your putting down bro..

ok, I got the hammer running, started making map, put in 10 death match and 10 start players.
I put a box around it all and hollowed it and gave it the sky texture, I started adding more to the map and then saved it, the option came up to cstrike folder and I saved as de_duel in the cstrike/map folder, does it matter if I havent compiled it yet? will this cause problems when I do compile it or have I done the right thing.
thanx..... LeFtY

back at ya Monkey! I started life doing modifications to engines, 350, 454 and even some fast 4's, then I went to my first Lan gaming session and someone itroduced me to the art of mapping using worldcraft editor, of course I was hooked on making my own maps ( like a monkey that is attrackted to bananas ) the problem is that I am new at computer stuff's, that is why I am not good at it, we have to start somewhere, like I said before one day i'll get the hang of it without screwing up the comp to much LoL!!!

the problem is that I have lost my hl.exe file in the transission of folders, so when I went to set up the config for worldcraft I cant insert the hl.exe file, not in folder ? the half-life folder is there but no exe file.....go figure, should I load the program back in ? seems like the only alternitive.....

oh crap>>> I only went and cut and pasted my Sierra folder into my c/programs file and not all of it went over so now I have 2 sierra files 
I think I should learn more before making stupid moves like that....what was I thinking, I expect alot of humourus replys for my cockup : I will load everything back on comp again
I think I should learn more before making stupid moves like that....what was I thinking, I expect alot of humourus replys for my cockup : I will load everything back on comp again I have noticed that I have a file in my documents folder that say's "MAPS" and have noticed that my maps get stored here as well as in the counterstike folder "MAPS" could this be causing the problem I am having, my settings in worlcraft are for the counterstrike folder "MAPS", should I delete the folder in my documents?

ok, I compiled in normal mode, worked ok, then made more changes to the map and tried to compile again, but no changes to the map, can anyone help? after compiling the map it went dark but still no changes ?
thanx YODEL185, I finaly got my map to compile it did it in just under 30 seconds, maybe because it is only in the begining stages and has not got many textures yet.

ok Anthony, my question was premiture to me reading the "How to compile tutorial, lol just getting ahead of myself as usual, oh and im sure i'll be asking loads of questions for a while anyway, anywho thanx
'K'... i'll retract my question and read more the tutorials...supose I will get the hang of this soon peoples.. hey trapt im from s.a what state u from ?
when I compile is it best to use bsp, what is the prefered option by you expert mappers
indeed, I have made three and for some reason I cant finish one yet !, I get stuck when it gets to doing the textring, good layout but need better imagination when doing the textures.
ok, Elon Yariv i'll take your advice, thanx... how many maps have you made? have you beeen making them for long ?
does it mater if you make a map and complete it and then compile at the end or is it better to compile as you go and edit any time you like, sorry if I dont seem familiar with all of this but Im new to all this (Virgin maper LoL)
LeFtY......
LeFtY......
thanx to you all for the advice, i will post my map in the future for positive/neg feed back...
