(Menu Font issue fixed)

I also an issue with a 3D background map. I created a simple box, just for testing, added a point_viewcontrol, info_target and an OnMapSpawn trigger with the Enable input for the point_viewcontrol, fired from a logic_auto.
But after the Valve intro movie, the game crashes with a memory could not be read error. I did everything that was said here: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Menu_Background_Map#Testing_chapterbackgrounds.txt

Fucking menu's! :@

You have to go in and change the font. Half-Life 2 runs it's title with the Half-Life 2 font. Therefore it only has the letters necessary to spell Half-Life 2....

Edit: Simply enough, I imagine (supposing this is a custom mod) going in and taking your desired font and giving it the name of the half-life 2 font there, it should work... =)

Ok. I went to my WINDOWS/fonts folder and copied arial.ttf to my modfolder/resource folder and renamed it halflife2.ttf. That works!

Now for a background map, it still crashes on load...

i happen to have made a very basic background map. i'll upload it for you.
to test it type map_background <map> or whatever. you gotta compile first :P
else just steal the entities :D

FFS! What is this bullshit!

Edit: IT WORKS! :D That stupid "create a mod" wizard copied borked client and server dll's into by bin folder. I removed those and copied the client and server dll's from the original hl2/bin folder into my bin folder. That did it!

:D

Well put it this way. Every background map so far has crashed...So the map isn't the problem.

So what is there left? The mod I suppose so maybe you didn't make it properly.
