How do people get their map to look almost EXACTLY like another map but just with about a few changes. Like dust2 and dust_1337. In dust_1337 it is the same exact thing except all of the doors that where not able to be opened on dust2 are proped open. Please explain to me how you do this

Can anybody give me the link to a program that I can get a .bsp file and convert it into a .map file pleasE? It seems that I can't find it.

Okay thanks anyways guess.

So, you mean if I open the bsp edit it and then try to complie it, it won't work?

Well it is for HL1.

Is there a way to open an existing map into hammer and edit it there? If so can you please tell me.
Thanks,
Raz0r

P.S.: If this is a noob question sorry, I am a noob to this stuff.

Thanks for the help guys, I will let you know my progress and if I need any more help

Can you give me everything I need to set it up with? Because for right now, I compiled it using this program and my friend can still not open the deep6.wad Here are my windows for the program. Please help me correct it to get me on my way into the world of mapping.

Now how do I use this program?

Well, I am going to try and reinstall hammer and do all of the settings again and see if that works.

So what do I have to do to get it unfucked up? Reinstall Hammer?

Okay well it is tomorrow, and now, when I just tried to compile it, my Hammer just freezes now.

My friend had to go. We will try tomorrow, please check back. I thank you very very much for your help.

Also I am trying to get my friend in the server with my map and he is still getting the deep6.wad couln't open thing. This is what I type in Aditional Parameters box -dev -console -wadinclude deep6.wad

Would I still be able to create maps and peaple be able to play on them with out the dll thing? Like with the error keep coming up?

Can I go without the dlls?

Okay, so I made a map and I made it with the wad from deep6. Now when I put the map on my dedicated server, when somebody tries to join, it says can't open deep6.wad

Also, when I compile it, a pop up comes up and says that it can't find filesystem dll to load.

Can anybody help me please? Thanks RAz0r
