Try posting on a diffrent fourm next time. Prefably Genaral Mapping Questions.

It could be that you are using too many entities in the one map.

Nope, it don't hang in the Loading screen in HL, it doesn't go to the loading screen at all.
But thanks for the help guys! I can't believe I didn't look at the log more closely!

Again, thanks!

What, you mean that I can't see through the see-through cylinders in hammer? Phew! Heh heh... Except for one thing...

This may be harmless, and if no strange side effects are occurring, then
it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange
or obscure errors, consider this as suspect.

That's teh log, shouldn't it work? It's got no errors whatsoever, yet i've been waiting for like and hour or two, and the map is quite small, and this computer is a pentium four...

Now I've got it to the LOADING screen once on this computer, but I never seem to get it working any-more.
I dunno why I can't get it to work!

what do you mean by compile? Do you mean run it, or cordon off?

Oh yeah and yes I have upgraded to Hammer 3.4.

I did see the tutorials, or else I wouldn't know I had to set the render mode and the FX Amount. What I don't know is why it doesn't work for me.

Yet it doesn't make my cylinder see-through. Help me please!

I've selected a cylinder that I want to make see-through, right-clicked on it, clicked tie to entity, set the Render mode to texture, and finally set the FX amount to 10 (I've also tried 1 and 50).

Ok here it is: http://cariad.co.za/twhl/mapvault_map.php?id=2186

If you fix it for me, upload it ok? (You can delete it, but first I'll want to see weather it works for me).

This is the link for it. http://cariad.co.za/twhl/mapvault_map.php?id=2179

If anyone gets it working, tell me please.

I've been waiting for half an hour and yet it hasn't jumped into hardwar yet. I copied the .wad files from the other file to the right one, opened them in the options dialog, removed the .wad files that were in the wrong directory (wait, I removed the wrong .wad files first!), closed hammer, re-opened hammer, run my map with expert compile, and still it don't work.

This may be harmless, and if no strange side effects are occurring, then
it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange
or obscure errors, consider this as suspect.

lol no, I just made the batch file today when I was following one of the tutorials.

...how fix?

Command line: C:PROGRA~1VALVEH~1toolshlvis.exe C:SierraHalf-Lifevalvemapsb
>> There was a problem compiling the map.
>> Check the file C:SierraHalf-Lifevalvemapsb.log for the cause.

Mate, I've already replaced the old tools with the hl tools without using a batch file... I did say I figured out what they were for didn't I?
Oh and I've never made a batch file before, I made one however like five mins ago. Sorry if I'm being rude, but you gotta give me the exact path...

Ok I've found up what the ZHLT custom build thing is for (it has some tools in it) but I need to ask this: After I've followed the turorial on how to expert compile, how long will it take for it to go to the LOADING screen after I click go?

Sorry guys if I'm spamming, but what is ZHLT custom build 1.7 for?

Thanks!

Erm, if I download that, will my map still me editable and runnable using 3.4? Don't won't all my hard work lost!

bye, gotta get off

I'm using WorldCraft 2.1 here, and I'm using expert compile and I've done what the toutorial told me to do. Now I've fixed up some of the parameters so that it can find my map properly, and last time I did that it worked, and it went to the LOADING screen. By then I had to get off, so I did ctrl+alt+delete.

Now this time, it won't go to the LOADING screen. It might be something to do with that ************ERROR*********** Error opening [dierctory name, doesn't matter, ignore] (ignore the part before these brackets) .map: Invaild argument that comes up in the processing window, but it skips past that, and there are no leaks in my map either.

Help me!
