my_first_sc_map Created 17 years ago2007-07-13 09:10:23 UTC by Skals

okay... i got sven_co-op little time ago, and i started my first map... i already done a giant yob on my map but... for some reason i get this sh*twhat should i do? i tryd to open the map 100's of times and i get that *** thing...

:@ ...help...

Try to convert it to .map using hlfix, then load the map in hammer. Hope you don't have many Visgroups, since they disappear, when it's a .map.

hlfix eh? where to download it? uh...

google, or something.

yeah i found it a bit ago... when i try to open it, it automaticaly shuts down. reason?

its a command line app. load up cmd.exe (start->run). cd to the dir where you have hlfix, and then read the params.

i done it, and it entered hlfix and exited fastly again

Usage

hlfix <mapname>[.rmf] [options]

Options:
-o <outfile> Output file (default is <mapname>.map or <mapname>.rmf)
-w <wadfile> WAD list file (default is wad.txt)
-r Output to RMF file instead of MAP file
-nt Don't tesselate non-planar faces
-nd Don't decompose non-convex solids
-nu Don't unite coplanar faces
-na Don't perform ANY geometry correction
-v Process and output visible objects only
-e <number> Epsilon factor for numeric comparisons (default is 1.0)

Copypasted. now make a bat file of it. open notepad, type
hlfix yourmap.rmf -o newmap.map

its important hlfix, the bat, and the rmf are in the same folder.

when saving the notepad file, save it as "hlfix.bat".

did u read my post?

it entered hlfix and exited fastly again

did you read his post? run the .exe through the command prompt! anyway, i dont think that'll fix it. does the .rmf open in crafty? (google it if you dont know what it is.)

omg i done it... bloody hell cant u just help me...

it entered hlfix and exited fastly again

is that too hard to read? i went into start -> run -> browse -> select the program and then

it entered hlfix and exited fastly again

Crafty... is it this what your talking about? http://www.limunltd.com/crafty/

He means you type in your address bar like for the program VMEX which is command promt:

c:/program files/valve/steam/steamapps/habboi vmex d1_trainstation.bsp

And it'll do it. What you keep doing is opening a sort of MS/DOS program which flickers on and off right? It means you have to use COMMAND PROMTS.

I'm confused

what the hell should i do...

my hlfix directory: "C:Documents and SettingsDarkPhoenixDesktophlfix.exe"

my map's directory: C:GamesHalf-LifeSteamAppsdraconspirithalf-lifeSvenCoopmapsmy_first.rmf

Find C:GamesHalf-LifeSteamAppsdraconspirit
half-lifeSvenCoopmapsmy_first.rmx and change it's extension to .rmf

The .rmx/.mapx backup files are made just in case this happens.

om. thank you all a lot didnt need the hlfix lol all i needed is to rename the rmx file thank you daubster.

Didn't know that. YUO R SAMRT DBAUSTAR

Only problem I found with it is it doesn't store your groups and VIS groups but yeah good ol backup.

Geez, Ghetto...

Ghetto has a problem detecting sarcasm.

Sarcasm Alert

Crafty... is it this what your talking about? http://www.limunltd.com/crafty/

http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=46 , you idiot. Why the hell would I tell you to open your map in some random chess program? USE YOUR DAMN BRAIN, I know its in there somewhere.

google search 101: if search "X" doesn't produce viable results, stick a related word on the end.

in this case, 'crafty' returns a bunch of chess programs. but, 'crafty half-life' returns the above link AS THE FIRST RESULT.

again, use your brain! and stop ignoring what people say when they're trying to help you, because eventually they just wont bother.

Angry mod is angry.
