Thanks for the explination! Now i fixed the problem and now my maps compile and they run in the game

The problem was that the SDHLT .wad folder needed to be in the half-life/valve folder

It tells me that it cant find the VHLT .wad file even thought i use SDHLT

So i wanted to use SDHLT for mapping but everytime i tried to compile or load my map in the game it just wont compile at all and say that its not found in the server. Can anyone please tell me how can i fix this?

This is the compile process:
