Is this site all about the original Half-Life or HL2? I'm trying to find some tutorials on problems with nodraw tiles, breakable objects (doors, windows), lighting help, etc. for HL2 and I can't seem to find any.

Both, try actually looking at the tutorials linked directly to your left.

TWHL covers both games.

Have a look at the entity guide here: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Main_Page

Well, I tried to load up some of the example maps in there and it says that it isn't the proper .BSP file and I can't seem to load it.

Ah, nevermind. I figured out the problem.

Well, since I still have a quick question. When I place a breakable object with a nodraw tile, I load up the game and it always crashes when i'm trying to run the map because of it. I switched the texture to a brick wall and it doesn't even show up on the map. Another question is the lighting. The monsters in my room are in pitch black areas but are still totally visible. I need to know a way on how to make so they aren't visible in the dark.

1. Dont put a breakable object textured with nodraw. If you want an invisible breaking object, make the object ANY texture you want, open the properties, switch the texture mode field to 'texture', and then make the render amount '0'.

2. Make sure ALL of the sides of that func_breakable are textured with the brick wall texture.

3. Wierd? Change the lights around those black areas into light_dynamics and see if it does it right.
