PLEASE HELP
please please please this is really bugging me...

search for those brushes, delete them and then re-make them.

ok so i changed them and it works kinda...

i compiled it and it made the bsp i put it into the cs maps folder ran cs went to play, select it from the list click ok and nothing happens.. ??? :'(

and btw what causes these kindo f error is it bad mapping technecs (eg. me = poo at this) or just bad software.

These errors are caused by invalid brushes, so, yeah, bad mapping techniques. Or maybe not bad, but just lack of experience with the tools.

About playing the map, try starting it from the console. Access the console (press the ~ key, provided you've started CS with the -console startup parameter) and type 'map mapname', in your case that would be 'map map1'.

ok so i did that and in the consol it said it is not a vail bsp file ?

You have to compile it successfully first, otherwise there's nothing to play!

Please, think about what you're doing.

ok i thort i had compiled susesfully..

but maybe not

Looks ok, but did you copy the .bsp file to the maps folder? No sign of that in the log...

i have copied the .bsp into the maps foler my self aftwards

And you copied it where exactly? IF you pasted it in the right place the type maps* in console with the * no spaces and see if your map comes up in the list.

my map is listed when i do that, so i dont know what to do...

when i type map map1 it says its not a valid bsp file :S

Hold on a minute, why is this in the Source engine forum? You're not trying to make Source maps with Hammer 3.x and ZHLT, are you?

You must use the Source SDK, found on the Steam Games list, to map for Source.

what is so special about those tools, there is hammer, mreate a mod and that is it. i was told that you should use hammer with zhlt. both games run on source right? so do i not edit the games in the source editor?

... wtf?

Are you mapping for Half-Life 2 or Half-Life 1?

Only use ZHLT if you're mapping for HL1! HL2 has it's own tools (vbsp, vvis and vrad).

me thinks someone told him to use an old version of hammer to map for HL2.
on steam. go to "tools" and install SDK tools.
run hammer from that.

... damn

yes! my friend told me to use hammer and even gave me the files for it. didnt know there was all the tools in sdk.

i am so sorry people. i feel so embarest...

but got my map workin now in source sdk.

thanx so much
