This cannot be done in the standard Half-Life game. It can be done with mods like Sven Coop or Spirit of Half-Life with modified code, but not for a single map for Half-Life.
Is there a reason you're using a trigger_transition in the second map and an info_landmark in the third? I would advise to use one or the other in both maps. Also, your trigger_transition is a hollow cube? Why not just a solid brush?
Edit: Turns out to be quite a simple issue in the end. Your third map does not include a trigger_changelevel back to the second. Even if you do not intend for the player to go back to the previous map, you must include the trigger to go there. Make it use only and keep it out of the way somewhere.

I don't think switching the mod over to a different modified version of the game is really the answer they're looking for here. If the complex puzzle can be recreated without issue and the base map still fails to load with the majority of the entities removed, it might be worth considering that there is an issue elsewhere in the map. I've checked and you're right in saying that there is little to no information about this online. The only threads I could find were with regards to online servers for CS1.6, with one exception which solved the issue by disabling HD models.
Otherwise, it looks to be a tricky issue to triage without seeing the files in some form.

I've heard of people having issues with this before, but in the version of the mod which was released and played through Half-Life on Steam, it's just a case of looking down, jumping and then Gauss jumping. I'm not aware that Jessie made any changes to the map properties to allow Gauss jumping to behave any differently to normal.
I'd certainly play Half-Life 1898 before I played another God damn Half-Life 1997 alpha/beta mod.

in How to activate multi_manager after killing 3 specific monsters? Post #347213
A game counter is all you need, along with the enemies needed to count towards the trigger amount and the multimanger you want to trigger. You need the following entities:
game_counter
name: killcount
target: trigger_mm
limit value: 3
At least three enemy NPCs
triggerTarget: killcount
triggerCondition: Death
multimanager
name: trigger_mm
That's it. When three of the enemies are killed, they each will trigger the game_counter (killcount) which will in turn trigger the multimanager (trigger_mm)

Yeah, to be honest the whole pitch is very vague. Give Half-Life the "modder's treatment?" I mean we've been doing that for 24 years at this point.
What modifications in particular are you expecting to make? Is this an entirely new set of singleplayer and multiplayer maps or simply reimagined versions of the existing levels (which has also already been done a couple of times, just by the by)
In any case, even if I had the time, I couldn't honestly join a project without a clear set of end goals and some examples of the current progress. I've joined mod teams in the past with big crazy ideas and even concept art and they've always fizzled out within weeks.

If you own Blue-Shift, simply copy the v_ weapon model files from the Blue-Shift models directory into the models directory for your mod. Model files such as v_crowbar.mdl and v_9mmar.mdl are the viewmodels. That's it. 
Yeah, sorry. I dropped out when I noticed Minecraft was eating into my increasingly limited system drive space. I also have a bunch of new deadlines at work and could do without the distraction. 
I'm afraid it's not just as simple as adding new submodels to the model and then editing the FGD. This will only make a difference in the editor, not the game engine. The hgrunt model heads are tied to the weapon selection or role in the game's code:
Submodel 0: Gasmask is used when the weapon assigned is the MP5
Submodel 1: Commander is used for squad leaders, regardless of weapon
Submodel 2: Ski Mask is used for shotgunners
Submodel 3: Cigar is used for MP5 with Grenade Launcher
Long story short, if you want to be able to select the grunts head irrespective of their weapon selection like in Opposing Force then you're going to need to go in and edit their code.

Sure thing. I'm not trying to tell you what to do, you can all come to an agreement together, but try to start small. I've seen a lot of mods with big ideas fall apart very quickly. Hell, I've even been a part of some.
Looking forward to see what you all come up with.

Always happy to see collaborative projects. TWHL has had a bunch of collaborative projects over the years, with many different approaches.
If I may wade in however, why not start with something more simple at first to see how you work with one another? Try making a singleplayer map or a map pack even. If you jump in with both feet and start a total conversion I guarantee it will fall apart before you even start seriously working on it.

The dead grunt is too close to the door. If you bust the corpse with the crowbar, the door opens freely when used. I suggest you move or remove it.

I'm curious as to why you're using item_generic as opposed to some other entity like a cycler_sprite? In fact... I'm not even familiar with item_generic.

As has been mentioned already, those are some lofty goals for what is essentially a Source mod at this stage. As Archie has stated, the artwork is pretty good so far, but the level design in particular needs considerable attention.
I wish you the best of luck with your campaign, but I will be closing this thread now as such repeat posts are not necessary.

I'm not aware of any such tutorial. Best bet would be to reach out to the author of that video. They appear to be active in the comments on their latest videos.

What exactly are you struggling with? Set the angle, set the speed and it pushes you when you walk into it. Unless you check the "Start Off" flag, then you need to trigger it to turn on somehow.
I could be wrong, but Pietrekder never had a profile here on TWHL as far as I am aware. If they did, it's long gone.
That .qc file is not even remotely similar to the Hgrunts. Your combine elite can't move or shoot because it doesn't have the relevant sequences and code references.
Your .QC has the following for attacking:

That might not be the exact issue though since I can't even open the model in modelviewer. It fails to load.

It's quite simple actually. You need a trigger_teleport and an info_teleport_destination.

TSSC is simply saying that coding isn't always necessary when making a mod.

You might want to double check those flags. The flag is "starts open" not "stays open." Uncheck it and set the "Delay before close" to -1

Yeeeah... I'm pretty sure that would be considered straight up copyright infringement. Safest bet: If you cannot explicitly get permission/the right to use an asset, maybe don't use it.
Something of a TWHL tradition to have an extension or two.
Damn, that is a shame. At least GoldSRC got a brief little "hurrah" for a time there.
dm_chair was hilarious. It taught everyone (including Archie) that the server had a score limit in a most amusing fashion.
Chum was a lot of fun. Also made me thing that Rust2021 is a no go and to making something a little more thematically unique.
Can I make a suggestion?
Remove dm_rust
Maybe I'll make a dm_rust2021 and actually spent more than a day on it.

In Goldsource (HL1), make a new folder within the Half-Life directory. Take a copy of the liblist.gam file from Valve, place it in your mod folder and edit accordingly.
If you're using Steam HL, restart Steam and your mod's name (as set in your liblist.gam file) will appear in the games list. If you're using Xash3D or WON Half-Life, your mod will appear in the Custom Game tab in the main menu.
Once that's done, you can throw whatever files you like into your new mod directory.

I'm no coder, but I do know that the lack of damage output and dying in a single hit suggests that your new entities do not have the appropriate entries in the skills.cfg file for their health and attack damage.
You will likely find that Otis and the guard zombie will also die if you try to get them to carry out a scripted_sequence.
