Ok,
FIRST... Get ZHLT253 1.7
The -nowadtextures should be added to the Additional game parameters box in Normal Hammer compile, or added to the csg.exe line in Expert.
Second, try adding -wadinclude (wadfilename without .wad) instead. That way you will only get the textures that are in your file, and not every texture used.

Without seeing where you actually added -nowadtextures, I can't be sure that it is in the right place. I think it should show in the log as part of the Command line.
Double check the compiling tutorial.

Whenever I use Zoner's Tools, the map doesnt actually compile. It just skips everything ad jumps striaght into the cstrike.exe....without even creating a bsp! How can I fix that?

You must've set them up wrong. Read the tutorial.

You have a leak + you're using crappy compiling tools. Read the compiling report before posting!
