Can I play my finished map through half life? Example: Put disc in tray, close tray, autorun, click play game,now what?...

How do I load the map through the normal game? Do I actually have to open up hammer every time I want to play the finished map?

I thank you for responding to my question.

All hail the mighty game gods/goddesses. If game geeks didnt exist, I would be screwed!

I am sure this is probably simple, but I cant seem to find out what to do.
How do I load the map and play it without opening up hammer and recompiling it over and over again? I loaded up half life and dont see a way to play my maps. Just the New game, multiplayer, and so on. Nothing stating "your new map" or "the map you just completed."

I ask thee game gods/goddesses
for thy infinite wisdom.

I have no idea what was wrong. I just deleted all the prefabs and reinserted them. Then it worked just fine. This supports my theory that my computer is generally out to kill me or purposely drive me insane.

I am new to map design and may just be overreacting, but... I dont know what to do!!!!!!
I followed all instructions in the beginner section having to do with prefabs. I placed the prefabs and loaded it up. The prefabs were gone! I looked at the compile log to see the error and this is what I see partway down:

qcsg.exe v2.8 (Jan 31 2000)
-- qcsg --
entering C:SIERRAHalf-Lifevalvemapsmyfirstmap.map

********** ERROR **********
missing '[ in texturedef

** Executing...
** Command: C:PROGRA~1VALVEH~1toolsqbsp2.exe
** Parameters: "C:SIERRAHalf-Lifevalvemapsmyfirstmap"

I downloaded the example map and it loaded up just fine. All the prefabs where there. There were no errors. Is this something to worry about or can I fix it some how? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
