Do I HAVE to use Zoner's Compile Tools when I embed a couple of textures?
(I will probably have more questions :roll:)

How do you switch from normal light to a fast strobe light using a button? thx

How do you make a button which will be activated by shooting it?

the folder is not sierra/half-life/cstrike, it is sierracounter-strikecstrike.

I followed what the tutorials on how to embed selected textures in my map, but it did NOTHING. I even tried the one that put ALL the textures in the map, but still NOTHING. If anyone wouldn't mind to do it for me, please tell me because I really need help here. Everything is done but the texture problem is keeping me from playing online with others.

When my friend would join my server with my new map (with CUSTOM textures), my friend would get problems like "Cannot find SuperWeapon.wad". How do I fix this problem? Thanks.

nVidia GeForce4 MX 440 64mb. I dont thing i need a new card, especially for just counter strike.

Hey guys. I just completed my first map in Valve Hammer but when I run it in Steam, the guns that I have placed on the floor don't even show up!!! It works in the old Counter Strike (testing) but in Steam, its not even there. For some reason the kevlar and grenade work just fine, but none of the guns!! Please help :zonked:.

juss wanted to say that TWHL just achieved 1000 topics in this section of the forums! sweet

this is (1001)

I know this is a stupid question but how do u replace a texture with another texture? I tried doing it but when it replaces, it replaces like the whole map's textures! And how to u apply textures to a specific face of an object? Thanks.

CRAP LOL! IT WAS MY VID SETTINGS!!! i changed it to software and PRESTO! works!

but it was only a value of 1, never higher.

Why does the breakable object in my map crash when its broken and explodes? Why does the explosion cause my map to crash, with a "Fatal Error" occuring? And when I say "explosion" i mean the "Explode Magnitude" under func_breakable. Is there a way of leaving my explosion in without having my whole game crash? And its not my vid settings, I tried. Please help me out.....Thanks!

OK i figured it out LOL im such a n00b! I didnt really compile it....lol so all i did was compile it in expert mode, put in the steam's map folder and it worked on steam!!!!!

is there anything that u can suggest i do? i am totally lost.

Hey guys. Whenever I load up my map in my server on steam, I get an error saying "Fatal Error: lightmap for texture aaatrigger too large (2 x 447 = 894 luxels); cannot exceed 324." Then the game crashes. I guess there may be a simple way of solving this, but I am a super NOOB lol. This is may first map too. Can someone PLEASE help me out. Thanks.
