Sorry to be asking a question every two minutes, but I am very close to haveing a successful compile, okay so here is the problem:
everything runs perfectly, no problems at all, until the last part where I am already in half life and its about to launch the map when I get a pop saying "Error: PutClientInServer: No info_player_start on level"
The map i am trying to compile is a tutorial one, I have rea dthe entire tutorial as well as the introduction to compiling. I have added an entity and when I right click on it and click on "properties" it says "class: info_player_start" So what is the problem? I have an entity where the player starts, but maybe I am doing it wrong.

I know a bunch of other people have had this problem but their solutions haventreally pertained to me so any help in any would be great thanks.
Thankyou

thanks im gonna try all of that

Hello, I am new to mapping for HL. I was using your Beggining tutorial when I noticed that the box in the tutorial picture is pink/purple and my box (3d view) was clear. I dont know if this is a problem, I played around with making it a solid brush but still, why is my box not pink?

My second question is that when i went to compile in the tutorial, I had an error. I know everyone has errors but I think mine is really basic but I just can't find what I did wrong. Here is a note from the compile stuff, the error is at the bottom:

The command failed. Windows reported the error:

Also, one last thing, now that we are all on Steam, I am confused about adding textures from Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/etc. as opposed to adding textures from C:/Sierra/Half-Life

If you can answer any of these it would be very helfpful thanks a ton
