Testing Map Created 19 years ago2005-05-01 12:05:55 UTC by zodius0514

I set up the configurations before I started my map and I have a player_start and such. It opens Counter-Strike and shows the splash screen of the guy in the hallway, like it normally does when loading, but it NEVER starts the map. I waited 30 minutes last night thinking my computer was being stupid, but nothing I just had to close it. Why does it do this?

Ok I presume your new?

You made a test map and it contains a player_start, light etc.

Well if it is CS then instead of a player_start you use ct_start or something similar (I forgot).

info_player_start for CTs and info_player_deathmatch for Ts.

Add -console to the command-line arguments. Assuming you're in Steam:Hey, that looks pretty snazzy.

I think he's talking about the WON version, Seventh.

It opens Counter-Strike and shows the splash screen of the guy in the hallway, like it normally does when loading,

That's not in the STEAM version.

I wondered about that, but I can't remember what it used to be. I thought the WON one was the fellas on militia?

Well, it IS customizable, but the one he's talking about is the default one.

Yea, I'm trying to get the map to be used on my friend's clan server. I've done map editing in games like Elder Scrolls and some others, thought I'd get my feet wet here.

Alright, so I've ready plenty of tutorials about setting up Hammer for Counter-Strike, I got it all worked out. I didn't use the info_player_starts but I did add lights.

Well (my 2 cents) Anytime you're ready to compine and test your map, Its would be a good idea to hit Alt+P, which checks the map for problems. It will tell you if you didnt have any info_player_starts or if you had some other wierd thing like shudder invalid structure.
Good luck mapping in the future.
