Thanks...It's okay, I just loaded the older version of the map, repaired it and built it back up to where it was when I lost it...

A lesson learned...hehehe

Ouch...I just read up on the Vmex program, and it seems to get nasty responses on the sites I searched...

Apparently, people use this program to steal other peoples maps...etc...

Maybe I'll just start from the earlier saved map, and just rebuild it again, and continue looking for the .vmf if I can find it...hehehe

Thanks guys...

I'll search around, and see what I can do...

I was working on a map for HL2 DM, and after hours of work...thought I saved it properly...maybe I didn't...because, I load the .vmf file which I had saved to all along, and it only loads my map in the early stages.

When I go in and create a HL2 DM server for gameplay, and load the map by the same name...it's in .bsp form, and has all the work I did in the level...

How can I retrieve the map as it appears in the .bsp to further work on it...??

I'm fairly new to this whole process, and read about doing cubemaps...can someone enlighten me? Or give me a link to any info...

My map works fine so far, but doesn't seem to have the same sharp images as in the HL2 game...I have the basics down, but need a good tutorial that explains all the finer detail...

Thanks in advance...

I'm relatively new to mapping in HL2...I'm not even sure if this is a HL1 or 2 board, but the editor's the same anyway, so here goes...

I started a map, worked on it for hours...and periodically compiled it, and ran it to do a test run and see how it looked...it was for HL2 deathmatch...

I kept saving it now and then over the same name, and my son went to do something after I saved the map, and closed the program...but, when I went to reload the map a couple hours later after he was done...the map went back to what it looked like so many hours before...

What do you think I did wrong...? Is this something that can happen?...or did the map maybe save somewhere else...

Any help would be great...
