And nothing happens...any ideas? :

-dev -console -cstrike +set deathmatch 1

u have that rite?

Take out the quote marks around your mapname.

Just try opening Steam normally and creating a server - your map should be on the list. Pick it and play it. You can't start maps directly after compiling (very easily) with Steam.

we all had this sort of problems when we started

Also (this is unrelated to your problem) use Zoner's Compile tools. These tools are more suited to compiling than the standard ones. Unfortunately, I can't remember the link! Someone will post it...

Waits hopefully...

Right Here.

lol, Oops! -no quotemarks needed that's Here.

And take out some of those wad files, I know for a fact your not going to use them all, Some of them only have like 5 or 6 textures, that are no good, like the font.wad and cache.wad.

OK, did everything guys said...but still nothing, i can't find the map when i try to start the new game, its just not in the list of maps...am I putting the map in the directory? it says this when i compile:

Uh, that last compile log's really messed up. Have a look at this tutorial (again if you have already).
