Yeah, you should contain all your mapping/Half-Life related files onto one drive... Hammer just isn't set up to work across them.

Also, don't bother upgrading your version of ZHLT. 3.3 is the same thing as 3.4 apparently, they just relabeled it to signify that it was the final version that would be produced. Actually, for me 3.4 doesn't work, but 3.3 does. Whatever. :

but see. i had it like this before, and it worked just fine.. &gt;&lt;.. guess not now :/ if i moved the wads to the same directory as hammer (its on a usb hd), and used em from there, would that affect anything for how others wud see the map? like... still see the right textures? (havnt had time to test it yet. got class). and this maps.. gunna be filled with individual cubes... thinking im gunna have to make them all entities of walls to not blow up vis. XD.

Create and specify a new cfg file in the compile tools that links to the exact location of the wad files, This is how I do it. Use -wadconfig yourcfgfilenamethathastobelocatedwiththecompiletools on the CSG compile parameter. Or modify a premade cfg file and add the directory to the new wads.

Okay...

Located with the compile tools is a cfg file called valve.cfg
Open this and in it you'll see paths to the default half-life wad files.
NOTE! This directory may not be correct! It is only a default.
Add new lines that link to the directory of your new wad file eg:

Original:
C:/Sierra/half-life/valve/halflife.wad
New:
D:/myfiles/newwad.wad

Then, when you go to compile the map, select expert compile and add the parameter: -wadconfig valve
To the CSG compile line.
