They'd take longer to load too. Spare a thought for those poor people with crappy net connections!
Are you kidding? It'd take ages!
The ZHLT folder can be placed anywhere. A good place to put them is where its on its on. For example:
C:/Zoners/
This is also a good idea with Hammer:
C:/Valve Hammer Editor/
C:/Zoners/
This is also a good idea with Hammer:
C:/Valve Hammer Editor/
BTW the space between '+' and 'map' shouldn't be there.
Did you put the map in the right place? Is that the way its spelt?
Isn't this related to what Stenin said about TWHL being known as spammy kids? Oh well

This is not possible in Half-Life at all. The closet you can get to it is making a car shaped train that will act like a train (i.e. It will run and predefined rails and will have speed control only). A car is possible in Counter-Strike. Theres a tut on the Counter-Strike Mapping Site, just can't remember the name of the site or the link.
BTW how do you distiguish between a 'good' and 'bad' map? These terms are used rather lightly sometimes.
Not trying to be picky but shouldn't this be in the 'Site Comments/Suggestions' area? Anywho, what's the big deal? Unless they limit what the current users can submit, I see no harm in leaving them there. Some of them are really good too!
LOL no prob Slayer!
There's probably an error in your map. I used to get these when I started mapping (not that I'm accussing you or anything :)). Check for leaks and other errors. Post your compile log in here too. If all fails, submit your map in the vault.
Yeah, he's the one who makes the changes on the site.
Look at the tuts please. In fact, look at the top of the page:
Most recent tutorial: Texture Application
Use it!

What is so bad about V.M? If you press the '[' key you can shrink the grid thus making your Vertex Manipulation attempts more precise. LEARN TO USE VM!
I didn't have the wad file either. I have it now, so if you still need it contact me.
Usually the prefabs that you download are so over the top detailed that they cannot possibly work in Half-Life. If your lucky you may get some good ones!
You can't get smaller than 1 unit brushes
What do you mean by saying "you can do what you want"?
This post was made on a thread that has been deleted.
It would be like having gif files as avators. Look for the thread called "Flash Avatars" to see the "Pro's and Con's".
LOL no prob
Having a prefab is a good idea although it would rely on people submitting prefabs. This is why you get some crappy prefabs.
No its just the outside part, the front bit. Download the map anyone, its quite enjoyable! Heres the link:

Search the map vault for a map called 'Hlywood' (or something like that), theres a whitehouse in it. It may not be what you want but its an idea.
lol Yes I know the Snoopy character 
It didn't fall off, its just a composite of various noses pasted together by a 3 year old.
- When you read every single post in this thread.
Paint Shop Pro. Very nice map btw
What a considerate member! No problem, anytime!
(U deserve the name 'Cool' thats for sure!

What you could do is use the texture replace tool and replace the 'bad' texture with a 'crete' one. This is indeed a crude method but useful especially if the 'bad' texture is in those 'hard to reach' places!
Ah, an excellent page Andy!
It's 'The Little Mapper That Could!' 
Sorry, not an expert can't reply.
Only kidding
Some advice:
*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!

What was your first map like?In three words: Really, really crap.
So what's the point? A foilproof computer that does absolutely nothing!
LOL now that would be funny!
Also the reason why there are different skins is probably because whoever took the screenshot didn't have the same models as you do.
I think your talking about the pictures in the map vault. More than likely a moderator has gone in and put a screenie in for you.
Half-Life Model Viewer should work, but I think you need to extract them. Besides, when you've extracted them, you an view them in Hammer as well!
Use the 'Go to Brush Number' tool as well as the 'Check for Problems' one.
I have version 2.53 of Zoner's tools. I think it is the latest version. I could be wrong though.

Does the evaluation version either:
a) Does not include all the features
b) Is only a trial (full program which lasts for only a few days)
Is one of these right? I don't really know (I use* 3D Studio Max 6).
*I use this term lightly as I really don't know what I'm doing

Your school uses Macs??? HAHAHA!
You really don't wanna go doing it. It's not worth it. I'm not saying this because its illegal, rather because it's not worth the trouble. Mac's are crap. I have to use some at school (we have IBM's but we have 2 iMacs and 1 eMac) for video production and boy they are pathetic!

I think you have to, as you so adequately put it, 'code this junk'.
Come on Tommy, come and help!
