Do you have any cliffs or vertex manipulated rock formations in your map?
Synergy - Hello Strings
A func_train only needs an origin if you use angular velocity on it.
Do you have brushes with very high scales? Like:
X: 0.10
Y: 0.10
X: 0.10
Y: 0.10
It just goes really really slow atm. :/
<QUOTE>It gives you advice on coding for the engine.</QUOTE>
Its not the engine you can modify with the sdk, its the game code instead. The actual engine source code is never released by Valve.

Turn small brushes and/or detail brushes like pilars, support and stuff into func_wall's with NULL-ified faces. It might speed up your compile a bit.
Its a known bug that comes with HL2.
Here are the correct font and crosshair ttf files:

Thats a side effect of light entities. Use texture lights: Textures that emit light by themself.
Yep, but sometimes Milkshape can be a pain in butt.
Your screen... Oldie? Tried updating drivers? Could help.
Whot?
I don't know nothing about 3dsmax, but there is one smd file that contains the actual meshes of the model. The rest are only animations. The smd you are looking for usaly has ref or reference in its filename. Then again, i can't help you futher. Unless you want to use Milkshape 3D.
HL has troubles with D3D. The only game with bad D3D support. Half-Life with OpenGL works best.
What? Im always online. :/
I got my part almost done, just a few tweaks here and there. Im just waiting for the rest.

Im just waiting for the rest.No, you can also have 8 MB of texture in your map. But 4 MB is more then enough. Even for big maps. And if you DO go over that limit, you can use this compile parameter to override the default amount of MB's for textures: -texdata 8192 (8 MB).
And you need to add that compile parameter to all four tools!
I recommend a front end compiler. Very easy to use. Nem's Batch Compiler is one of those, but using it might be a little complicated at first, so you can also go for the Half-Life Compilation Controller, the one I've used since I began mapping, about three years ago. Get it here.
It already has the texture date set to 8192 MB. It has most of the used compile parameters in the user interface.

I agree. It should be called Breen's office, from where he controls Black Mesa personal. House is just weird and doens't fit in Black Mesa.
Place your custom wav in a folder like half-life/valve/sound/ambience
Lets say your custom wav file is called screetch.wav.
In Hammer, use an ambient_generic to use your sound. Add this in its WAV path: ambience/screetch.wav
You can also place the wav in half-life/valve/sound
Then you would add this in the WAV path: screetch.wav. Just the filename. As long as you place your custom wav in de half-life/valve/sound direcory, or in any of the subfolder in that.

Lots of questions.
There's another thing that's unclear to me. You're talking about a cliff with Black Mesa Transit System Tracks.
Should we make something like this:
http://wdevries.demon.nl/MarkH/Atom_zooi/c2a5a0000%20(Large).JPG Outside area, with railtracks somewhere, and with Breens house inside the mountain?
Or this:
http://wdevries.demon.nl/MarkH/Atom_zooi/c0a00000%20(Large).JPG Inside area, with railtracks inside, some pipes, detail, and breen's house embedded in the walls.
Personally, i hope the second one is how ou would like it. I hate the first one.

Told ya.
Weird. Your best bet is too upload the map in the Problem Maps Vault so we can have a look. Something wrong, becus there HAS to be a line in the 3D screen.
There are no points. Its only a colored line, going from blue to red.
You'll have much more luck with the .lin file. This file leads directly to the leak. Select NO when you load the pointfile, and open the mapname.lin yourself. Follow the line from blue to red. The leak is located near the end of the red line.
This is my experience, and it works.

Env_renders, and a second plate/hatch. It not perfect though, but i can get it to look realistic, /me thinks.

Seventh, it can be done and i just did it for helious. He was watching me mapping live.
A func_train doesn't need an origin brush, only if you use angular velocity on it. Func_track_trains however, DO need an origin brush.
Make your func_train out of world brushes and add an origin brush in de middle. Select the origin brush and the world brushes that is the actual train and tie them to a func_track_train.
Here's a list of brush based entities that require an origin brush in order to work:
func_pendulem
func_door_rotating
func_rotating
func_track_train
func_train (only when using angular velocity)
Anything else i forgot to mention?
The problem is that if an origin brush isn't tied to an entity and is just a world brush, you will get that error.

Uhm, did'nt see SpaGs post. :/
Mapping Dr. Breen's House, should'nt that be Dr. Breen's Office? A house in Black Mesa sounds weird, and might no have that "Black Mesa" feeling. An office does. Black Mesa has lots of offices and i think Breed should be in one of those. So do we have to map a house or an office style map in Black Mesa?
You're doing something wrong.
You can use some small code to make resizable models. With that, you can make scientists or barneys with different sizes by just adding a new keyvalue in their entity properties.
You can also do this with plant models. Maybe it'll suit your needs.
Onlu if your house map is going to be custom mod.

You can't take a HL2 model in HL1, unless you convert it back to a HL1 player model.
If your new player model is called santa_claus, then the make a new folder in your valve/models/player with the same name as the model file. In this case: valve/models/player/santa_claus/santa_claus.mdl.
Only then the player model will show up in your "select player model" screen in your Steam settings. Im not sure what it is called.

Whats your name on HIT?
And i really want to use your models!

Make sure Texture Lock is off and/or turn the stept into func_walls.
Where are your models on HIT, WC Dude? I only could find this thread:

That MP7 is not the same is in the screenshot on this page.

I don't get how you recompiled the model with a HL1 qc with the matching animations. Can you give me an exact example, the complete workflow?
Could you tell me how you converted them, if you don't want to give these conversions to anyone.
Wtf, is that my slam model? No, mine are on the right!
Where did you get the slam model?
I allready use the MP7. I also use the HL2 Shotgun.

Yup.
The beta Hammer 3.5 isn't evil at all, it works fine.
As for the error, Tommy14 has this to say:
This World Craft/Hammer editor error means you are mix matching prefabs and maps made in different versions of WC/Hammer. Sometimes this is bogus, and then it means the level has been corrupted, or WC/Hammer has been corrupted. See also missing [ in texturedef.
