ERROR* HALP Created 16 years ago2008-11-03 22:29:15 UTC by SPECIAL K

im working on a hl1 steam single player mod atm, and while going through a level transition (m6a to m7) it doesnt work. In console it will say "ERROR: couldn't open. Only the server may changelevel", awhile ago i posted a basically identical thread regarding this issue; the reply i got; to type "deathmatch 0" , then "restart"; and it worked, only when you typed it during the level. It wouldnt run going from start to finish in the mod.

But heres the problem that has appeared; firstly the map is not running with deathmatch (1) to begin with, it has monsters in it. So when i type deathmatch in console, it reads as "0". It almost appears as though the game isnt recognizing the trigger_changelevel at all unless i type deathmatch 0 and restart, deathmatch 0 which it already is.

The reason this is posing as a problem is because i am making what i see as a fantastic mod, and this appears to be the only flaw, as well as it tends to restart all wepons/suits/etc. So i've had to put a suit outside the changelevel on the otherside of the trigger of m7.

Is this a compiling issue? problem with the previous map or the next?

-as you can see my last reply did not get an answer, so i thought it was necessary to post again

uhm... Are you simply just testing by using the "create server" button?

that will automatically start your map in multiplayer mode.

nope, putting it in console. And if i was it wouldnt have monsters in it

you're sure your landmarks line up properly?

Remove all .cfg files from your modname, modname_yourlanguage, valve and valve_yourlanguage folders. (The _yourlanguage folders (for example valve_spanish) folders only exist if you are using another language than English.)
