New mod/ map problem. Created 17 years ago2006-05-19 13:48:28 UTC by Garrador

Hi!

Im now making a new mod, not a big one, but the kind that is explained in your tutorials. It is for HL1, and i have a slight problem.

When i run the mod, the star map won't load. It's just "Loading..." all the time. Nothing shows up. Anybody know what this can be?

I followed the tutorial step by step, but it won't work.
By the way, im using VHE 3.5 Beta.

Thanks!

There could be an error in your map. Check your log file and paste its contents here, so we can take a look at it.

Another cause could be a corrupt liblist.gam file. Check that one too.

If you're not running in Steam (I don't think you are), just add -console to the end of the path in the shortcut to your mod/to HL. That should make it clear what's messing it up.

I didn't find anything. I just made a map to test it.
But nothing will show anyways. But how do i see if the liblist.gam file is corrupt?

Paste it. It's just a text file; open it in Notepad or whatnot.

Anyway, take the space out of your mod directory's name!

I have founf this in the log:

Warning: Attempting to allocate 0 bytes

Im not sure what it means, i can't find a solution on Tommy14's and LeakFree.org is still buggered (update links page, 7th).

// Valve Game Info file
// These are key/value pairs. Certain mods will use different settings.
//
game "Real-Life"
startmap "start"
trainmap "t0a0"
mpentity "info_player_deathmatch"
gamedll "dllshl.dll"
gamedll_linux "dlls/hl_i386.so"

---

The space is fixed.

Game directory is missing.

It looks like this:

gamedir "mod_folder_name"

Add that below game "Real-Life".

Thank you so much! That last one was the problem!

Thanks!

I have a second problem here. Can i use the sound from counter strike in a regular hl mod? Mine that is.

I put out some sound effects, but the same thing that happend before, is happening again

Can anybody help?

Post your entity setup of your sounds.

im not so good at this: where can i find the enity setup for sounds?

Hmmzz.

Maybe its better that you tell exactly what you did it. What did you do with the CS sounds?

i wen't in to my CS dir (CS 1.6), copyed the whole shi*, and threw it in my mod.

And what did you do in Hammer?

i made a ambient_generic enity, and chose a sound.

What did you enter in the WAV propertie of the ambient_generic?

nothing?

So how did you choose the sound to play?

If you want to play a sound in your map, you need the ambient_generic entity. If the sound you want to play is located in:
moddir/sound/ambience

you fill ambience/sound.wav in the WAV propertie of the ambient_generic.
