This was a map I liked a lot. It was my first map and I was wondering if there is any way I could edit it into source and maybe a different mod. I know decompiling is wrong and its for noob and scum bla bla, but I am too lazy to start from scrach with this map.

Hey, I found out that an older version of zhlt worked for me you could try it.

You know what I tried swiching the ZHLT with the Quake Tools and it compiled fine....

Sorry for the last post I typed it wrong....Here are the NS Settings

What would my Mod Directory be? I would think it is the half-lifevalve. Its not like NS or CS where i could put half-lifens or half-lifecstirke.

Ok you thinks its a bad settings problem so here are some pic of my settings and where my folders are...

From what I looked there is no clear answer. They say its your settings, but I know mine are fine. One thread said it was the version of hammer and zhlt your using. I am using hammer 3.4 and zhlt 3.4 betaa 32 bit is there a newer version of either of these??? oh and whats the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit zhlt.

I was testing to see if I had the setting right in hammer( or Worldcraft)which I am possitive are set right, I downloaded zhlt. Thinking everything is going nice. I made a simple map. I compile and it doesn't. It gets an error:

So I look all over the forums to find something out about my problem and find nothing... Please help, and sorry if i over looked something in the forum.

I had that problem... no one could solve it. So I re made the map and then it worked. I think I could of been a leak. Maybe there is a leak on your map.

I am familiar with CS it has rounds of playing a map Unlike Counter-Strike, Natural Selection can have very long rounds. There are 2 current types a maps ns which is the classic more of a build and Strategy and co(combat) which is more like a rpg kind of map where you level up. It is not like CS I do not think.

Yeah, I know that. What I want to know is what the maping difference is there between a normal ns map type compared to a co map type

I was wondering how do you make a combat type(co_mapname) map for Natural Selection. I tried searching it on the Forums but could not find out anything. Thanks

I am having problem with the Game Configuration - Game directory. cannot find the GameInfo.txt for ns... help please

I want to make NS maps and do not get how to configure it... please help

Yep, that was the problem. Source SDK needs HL2 decryped to work. Well, thanks again.

Yea I think you have something there, I am more of a Counter Stike person then a HL2, I have not even decrypted it. and in the error

MountFilesystem( 221 ) failed: SteamMountFilesystem(880,221,0x4aefbfc=,0
x4aefd0c) failed with error 114: Cache needs decryption

the last part (Cache needs decryption) should of noticed that well I will check it out.

Yes I own HL2

I know nothing about this new Source SDK thing all I did is installed it and it comes up with an error every time I open it. : <p>MountFilesystem( 221 ) failed: SteamMountFilesystem(880,221,0x4aefbfc=,0x4aefd0c) failed with error 114: Cache needs decryption<p>Please help I have been looking around for solutions but did not find any.
