There may be a problem in the second map. Use the 'Check for Problems' tool as well.
It has nothing to do with patenting, just another stupid thing that we do.
Post interesting articles, links and pictures of the upcoming game Half-Life 2

Its utterly ridiculous, stuff like this. Reminds me of a story!
Story Time
Gather round children, gather round and I'll spin you a tale...
The year is 2000AD or there abouts. We are situated in the lovely country of America. Along comes our main character, a lady in her car, racing to the nearest McDonalds for a bit of sustinence. Into the Drive-Thru she goes and emerges with a wonderfull cup of glorious coffee. She places this coffee on the dashboard and zooms off.
She keeps driving until she is suddenly confronted with a red light! The red light turns its menancing glare towards her car, forcing her to apply the cars breaks. Well at that point the coffee slips right off the dash and into her hands and face sending scalding coffee all over her!!
Eventually she recovers from her horrific burns and takes McDonalds to court, sueing the giant corporation for failing to warn her that the coffee was hot. She recieved $1million.
And that is the end of the story children, run off to bed.
(This story is true.)

Well lets hope there is no WWIII...
Actually I have a question for the Americans here. Over there in America, are there a lot of Aussie stuff? Over here in Australia, we seem to be inundated with the amount of American products, food, fashion, etc. In Extension English (no this is not for idiotic english students, rather the opposite) we are currently doing a topic called 'The American Dream'. It is not quite what you think however as it deals with the way we see America and its grip today on the world.
I read an interesting article in this class which raised interesting issues. One, America holds the highest proportion of its citizens in custody. Two, shes uses 30 percent of the worlds resources despite having less than 5 percent of the world's population.
I will stop here as I could go on forever and possibly make enemies. Who knows where America will go from here?

Err I think he means he has 3 actual monitors.
Why can't you use the other ones? (i.e. Direct3D or OpenGl)
"Darn right!"
- When you decide to do a Half-Life map for an Advanced English Assignment...more on this later
Method one allows textures to flow. Also if you build it PROPERLY then theres no chance of a leak occuring right?
The plugin is included in the SDK for Half-Life. This plugin does not work for version 6 of Max. I have not been able to find one that does
lol yeah why not? Let me take some first and I'll send em l8r
Wow what a crazy thread. Well you aint getting any of my photos! (No webspace). I will remain a mystery to all! (Well to most anyway)
Very good 
So do I, but some people tell me theres a problem with using it. I have no idea what they're talking about as it works totally fine with me. Btw your page is unavailiable.
Worldcraft now goes under the name of Valve Hammer Editor (well not 'now' its been like that for a while! 
)
)Hammer 3.5 with the new fgd can do it easily. When you put your scientist in, you can change the animation (Right Click>Properties) to the sitting one.
Yes. Use it for single player maps. Very useful (how do you think they did it in Half-Life? One big map? I don't think so! 
)
)Theres a great tutorial here.
I find this happens to me too (I'm using Hammer 3.5) for no reason. Solution: Hit 'Restore Down' then resize the window. Sometimes this problem happens, sometimes it doesn't.
Why have a big map for? Unless its for DM or multiplayer then you shouldn't need to.
I think he's mad because everyone is mad about the source leak. I mean come on I want this game as much as anyone else but why ruin it by getting some dodgy source code thats hurting Valve dearly? No wonder the game aint out.
Wait till Half-Life 2 where the grid area will be massive
Someplace Else is a great, small mod. Check it out (btw this kind of thread is around. Search for it)
I don't its quite what he wants. I think he wants to see what you see through the camera when you hit 'Use' on the computer screen without hitting use. Your method would only give a static image. As Seventh said, wait till HL2 (whenever that will be)
You know who else is gone? Skeeve
Yeah, he's like an ellusive celebrity, giving only quick glimpses...
Or impulse_101...
Yes thats an excellent idea. I did it when I was using multi_managers and it helped a lot!
Even if he's "Anonymous" and "Unknown"?LOL! Sr. Accountless, what a laugh! Nice one Alex!
You can hardly talk Sr. Accountless!
Did you re-setup the options after you copyed them?
What you can do is open the movie in Power DVD on your computer, hit the 'Capture Screen' button (thats a special button) rapidly. This saves a whole heap of images as .bmp files. Then you get a gif animation program (search for one in google), put all the .bmp files in there and it will animate it for you.
I've seen Jax on MSN. Steinen retired I think until HL2, mince no idea, jobabob is on every now and then. Zappy no idea.
Andy??? He's always here! Atom has disappeared.
Eh? Master of Puppets and ministeve have been around. Haven't seen Bllwinkle though. Heres something to do, go to the map vault and view everything and go to the last page to see other members of TWHL that haven't been here for yonks!
I'm not talking about you, it was a general comment
I did. There seems to be a spam virus going around TWHL as nearly every post has some. What's going on people??
Oh wait they worked. Not bad not bad...
Hmmm 403 error...
Also (this is unrelated to your problem) use Zoner's Compile tools. These tools are more suited to compiling than the standard ones. Unfortunately, I can't remember the link! Someone will post it...
Waits hopefully...

Some advice:I wrote that for Joe_Cool. I'm not critiscing you, just giving some friendly advice. I'll check your map when I get home.
*Have a plan
*Do a rough sketch on grid paper
*Split the map up into 'parts'. This way you can compile small areas. This makes it easier to target errors and will prevent you from going insane when you compile a massive map thats has leaks and errors all over it.
*Carve is a no-no most of the time. Use Vertex Manipulation, you will love it!
*Be realistic. Half-Life is over 5 years old, so don't try to make a 'super duper, ultra fantastic, mega gigantic death map' because there's no chance that it will work. Work to Half-Life's limits.
*Having said that, theres a lot of things you can do in Half- Life. Be creative. No one wants to see a grey box with a gun and a few million enemies
*Have fun!
Well that maybe the problem. You cannot have massive maps. Half-Life just cannot do it.
Perhaps your map is beyond repair. Submit it into the vault.
How big is your map?
Tommy:
That means you have too many entities visible/see-able at that time. There are two likely causes for this:Run VIS and then see.
Your not running VIS, or your map has huge ammounts of entities visible at a time.
Solution: run VIS -full, block line-of-sight (aka. vis blocking), combine like entitys in the same room - but only in the same room.
It won't get rounder than this as Seventh said. Half-Life is old. If you really want a round room you'll have to wait till Half-Life2.
Gee, I was gonna say to put a leak in your level but Seventh's answer is better!
(BTW I'm being an idiot, don't take my advice unless you wish to look like an idiot.)

Tommy says:
This can refer to several different errors:As for the Half-Life title you have to replace it with an mpeg file and only when you are doing a mod. Any video editing program with titles can do this. Check the tutorial on this site about making mods for some more information.
1. The "too many wads" as mentioned above. 8 wads in WC/Hammer is a good limit, more may cause this error among others. If you are using more than 8 wads you can use Wally to combine the extra wads into one custom wad.
2. Too long a path/name for the map or compiling tools. Only a limited amount of memory is set aside for the path/names. Solution is to move the compiling tools or map into a shallow folder.
3. Having a space in a path/name. Examples: frequently Program Files is part of the path name. Compiling tools do not like the space between "program" and "files". Solutions are to either use the MSDOS pathname, or to move the offending files from under the spaced folder, or put quotes " " around the whole path name in WC/Hammer so that windows uses it right. If your map has the space in its name (eg. Bob map), remove the space and change it to (Bobmap).
You need to unpack the models first. They are contained in the 'Pak0.pak' file, which Wally can unpack. Once you have done that, err, wait for an expert to come on and tell you the rest! Sorry!
