No prob.
It might not work because you have a very open map. Post it in the Vault and I'll try and take a look.
Wow. That is an incredibly useful command. I'll be binding directories to virtual drives all night. Thanks.
The CSTRIKE dir is in counter-strikecstrike, not half-lifecstrike.
All other files are in the GCF.

You could make some details models, and add to your epoly count, as the common limit is quite higher than the wpoly limit.
Get Wally and make a new WAD and drag-drop them into the new WAD. If you have lots of custom textures like me (~3-4k custom textures) make a single WAD titled 'custom' or something, and just wadinclude everything from there, as it's a pain to have hundreds of little individual WADs.
As for making the train shape right, you're the only one who can do that. Read up on the Vertex Manip tutorials, practice with the clip and shear tools, and just keep trying. You'll get it eventually.

You don't need the halflife.wad from both Counter-Strike and Half-Life. Remove one.
It works on Cstrike, I have a custom Ranger player model that replaces the Seal Team one. Not to mention all replaced weapon models that have p_ replacements that show up in game for other players.
Alright. I'll go take a look.
AI's Barney carries an M4/16, the PS2 one doesn't have it. There are improvements over the PS2 models like clearly readable nametags and buckles on armor.
BL, catch me on AIM or through E-Mail and we can chat.
I like the screenies, especially the final control room one, but the center picture is lacking detail. More equipment, pipes, or lighting, or a decal on that wall might make things more interesting. The first image, the control room, looks decent, but the background walls look a little bland to me. Again, a decal or two or some pipes, equipment, etc. might help a lot. As you said, lots of detail is still missing, so I think they'll look a lot better once it is added. The basic architecture looks good for now.

Then it doesn't work.
Umm, why not just build a train from brushes in Hammer and not model it. Modeling will be difficult if the player is to walk around on it, if not, then its easier.
In order to make models move, build a platform covered in AAATrigger and put a model on it. Set the sounds on the AAATrigger train using defaults, or stick custom ones in Sound/Plats or something like that.

In the properties box, just click in the little drop down window for the weapon selection, delete anything there, and type weapon_usp or glock18. Ignore any "unused keyvalues" errors you may get.
Hmm...no idea then. I don't often rip maps.
Ah, that's right. Just click the smartedit button and then you can input weapon_usp or weapon_glock18. Or, you could rewrite the FGD file to handle extra weapons.
You can only place the weapons that it specifies. So, unless the usp and glock are listed, you can't.
I could map the brushes and you could do the entity setups/enemy placement, BL :P. I'm skilled (at least, I say I am) at brushwork if I work at it enough.
armoury_entity.
Link didn't work for me.
Have you changed the color noticeably? ie, yellow to green?
What IS a kz_ map?
Hmm...how big will this map pack/mod be? I may be able to construct a small set of maps (2-4 levels)
ZHLT.wad does not contain an origin texture.
halflife.wad has the origin texture, and I think one of the NS wads has an origin texture, but I'm too lazy to go check.

its called a handy and fun fix me upper.Exactly. Most people don't go around crashing planes into fields so they can repair them. (Although some people might, I don't know.) Since this one is already crashed, its convenient for someone who wants to learn this kind of stuff, or as I stated before, someone with a hobby.
If you have a hobby in aircraft repairs, why not?
Never knew that. Interesting.
Get a nice graphics card, if you can get one with 512 or 256mb Vram you'll be able to run HL2 really nicely.
In the version of CS that was included with Platinum (before Blue-Shift was included and Valve gave us third-party mods instead) we were introduced to DE/AS/ES.
Escape failed to become popular because AWPs were allowed, so the CTs camped with AWPs by the escape zone and just eliminated the terrorists. Assassination is still played by some, but is not the mainstream game type for the same reason.
Dust is the entire reason Defusion grew and is now the most popular mode. You could go in for close quarters combat through the dark hallways or snipe people from a distance near the bomb sites. This gameplay balance always made for a great game.

I meant carving with complex shapes in my above post. I carve with boxes, but the problem with carving cylinders and arches and spikes and other shapes, is that it shatters the brush you are carving into, which gives you those misalignments, unnecessary faces/solids and invalid solids. It can save lots of time in situations where you need to make a small box in the wall, but can give you weird compile errors and invalid solids that may take longer to fix than to just do everything manually.
make a cylinder, lay it into a vertical brush, and carve, there you go. an arch (just clean up any misalignments with vertex manip, if there are any at all...)Umm, why not just VM in the first place and not have to worry about misalignments later, as they are annoying to fix? Because carving with cylinders will always cause a misalignment unless you have manually created the cylinder, and then it will probably happen too.
And what do you consider "advanced mapping techs?" Quite a bit of VM skill? Editor functions? Entity setups?
Hmmm...I may be interested in mapping a non-combat/intro level or two.

Brushes = models? Hmm...
Alright, thanks.
the D means he has Half-Life in the D drive.Which often means someone has another hard drive installed.
nobody likes a smart arseTrue, true.
You said "map not found on server". This is often caused by an error in the compile somehow, or if the map gets moved. (Re-)Check the compile log, and post it here.
From the Counter-Strike manual:
Assassination: One member of the CT team will serve as the VIP. The object is to get the VIP safely to the pre-defined Safety Points. If he dies, the CTs lose the round. If he makes it safely, the CTs win. The VIP has a unique skin, only carries a knife and pistol, and has ample armor. The terrorist job is to assassinate the VIP, but with the CTs guarding him, it is never an easy task. Certain weapons cannot be purchased in this gameplay scenario, and these will be greyed out on the weapon selection screen.
Not a glitch.
And CS_Siege never restricted weapons because you can't without a server mod or a certain gameplay type.

You mentioned AS, but not ES. Did/does anyone even play ES anymore (or ever 
) ?
) ?Hmm...I'll try that, hopefully it lists them in the order they are listed in Hammer so I can figure out which ones to delete it.
I could probably expand that box, but by re-hacking hammer to make it bigger, and I have no idea how to do that .

.Entity: outside world (+/-4096) errors this are caused by invalid solids. Leak errors will give you "LEAK in hull x" in the compile log. (Or Tiny penetration in Hull 4 errors, rarely, but that's a different story)
But Peace and LOve is right, just go ot the offending brush/ent numbers and check them by deleting or fixing them. I'd just delete Entity 7, it seems to have a number of bad brushes.

Hmm....person prefabs. Well, it was what the article said.
I have some old version of 3dsMAX I got for cheap...maybe I'll go get Softimage|XSI and see how it works.

Certain scenarios remove certain weapons, like AS_ and ES_.
It moves the selection box up and down, but doesn't scroll the names.
No problem. Good luck on your map.
I'll try and rephrase...
Are all the soldiers/monsters in your map going to be visible to the player when he steps into a particular room or something, or will they only be seen if the player does something to make them visible, like if they use a switch and then the soldiers/monsters are seen in the next room. If they will only be seen if he uses a switch or something, you can use a monstermaker. Check the tutorials here on how to use a monstermaker, I don't have a good idea on the details of how they work.

Anyone know if I can enlarge the texture window/map info/options window in Hammer because my pathnames are C:ValveSteamSteamAppsRabidmonkey777half-lifevalve and I cannot see which WADs are in use, so I can't tell if I need to wadinclude, or which WAD to remove from my texture list, due to the extremely long pathnames.
