hi erm well i am having real difficulties with the setup. It just dont work. This is my configuration. (CS 1.5 is my cs foder cus i dnt know how to work it in steam.)

Game Configurations:

Game Executable Directory:
C:SierraCS 1.5

Mod Directory:
C:SierraCS 1.5

Game Directory:
C:SierraCS 1.5valve

RMF Directory:
c:Program FilesValve Hammer Editormaps

Build Programs:

Game executable:
C:SierraCS 1.5cstrike.exe

CSG executable:
C:Program FilesValve Hammer Editortoolsqcsg.exe

BSP executable:
C:Program FilesValve Hammer Editortoolsqbsp.exe

VIS executable:
C:Program FilesValve Hammer Editortoolsvis.exe

RAD executable:
C:Program FilesValve Hammer Editortoolsqrad.exe

Place compiled maps in this directory before running the game:
C:SierraCS 1.5cstrikemaps

if you know the problem pls answer back, if you need any more info pls tell me what it is.Thanks

its ur game executable. u need to get the program not just the folder.. i think anyhow

wait. nvrmnd that

okay the mod directory will be C:sierraCS 1.5cstrike...
Game directory - C:sierraCS 1.5
Also what do u have for ur GAME DATA FILES?

C:sierraCS 1.5cstrike... ???? wat after ...

ur not making this easy...

llol u have rote C:sierraCS 1.5cstrike... normally after the three dots... it means there is more writing isit cstrike.exe???

for mod directory? nope.. i just liek my full stops... and my lemons

oh and by the way it is hammer editor 3.4

lol

for mod directory? nope.. i just liek my full stops... and my lemons

ur not making this easy...

it still doesnt work i have taken the space away in the name and changed the MOD directory all it says is (on CS 1.5) testmap could not find on server

i had 3.4 and it had so many problems for me with prefabs and shit so i found out that there was a 3.5 so i dll it and it seemed better and a lot easier mind you a lot of people will tell you that 3.5 is a beta and that it can have problems as well but i dont see any problems but thats my oppinion

Get Zoner's Half-Life Tools immediately, from the Links page, and set them up in Build Programs replacing the laughable Quake tools you're using.

Your CS is in a very bad position for old programs like HL. Spaces and dots are likely to confuse it; you could easily set a different "place compiled maps here" directory and copy the .BSP manually afterwards.

If the above doesn't work, post your compile log/error message once you've set up ZHLT.

I don't know if anyone has been paying attention to a word I've said in the 10 or so threads that have been started about setting up hammer for steam, it really is incredibly simple.

You only need to point the f**king game configs screen to teh right places. Now I have to go and look for teh posts I made in other threads that explain this quite easily.

You've started yet another thread for teh same problem, try keeping the other thread alive before you decide to ignore all our advice.

Work in steam, it's easier and you'll need to if you're going to map for CS:S.

This is how you set up hammer for steam:Very easy, you just click on the folder's, like counter-strike, and cstrike; and that's it, don't fuck with build programs, seriously, if I find out you've been trying to compile with qtools I will come to your house and take away your PC. And then burn your house down. Twice.

Just to remind you:"ok, dude, don't use build programs, it's totally unneccesary (spellcheck), you should compile with Batch Compiler anyway, when you're ready to compile a map, post in the forums and we'll help you set up your sh*t for compiling.

the "game executable" is your mod's .exe, like cs.exe, dod.exe, hl.exe

"and place compiled maps in this directory before running the game"

this is used for running the map as soon as teh compile is complete, this is not needed, and often causes more problems anyway, but teh correct folder would be:
C:Program FilesSteamSteam Appsyour@email.comcounter strikecstrikemaps

changes depending on teh mod.

but seriously, if you've set up your hammer like i showed in that pic, you should be good to go, rememeber don't follow mine exactly, just the last few lines have to be correct like:

SteamSteam Appscounter strike + - cstrike

you get me?"

this is what i posted in your last thread about this same problem.
Read it, if it doesn't explain anythign, then ask us, we will help, but you have to do your part too.

Thanks alot I don't know if it works or not yet coause i am just about to find out. My only question now is what is batch compiler? (I am totally new to mapping) lol.

http://countermap.counter-strike.net/Nemesis/index.php?p=2

also go to "download". i dont need to tell you why

i havnt downloaded tht yet but when i run the map the compiler screen coms up and then i go to CS 1.5 even though i set it hrough steam and it says

map change failed 'testmap' not found on server

??? :

When you press F9 to try the map what should all the settings be i have them all on normal with the space at the top saying 'Additional game parameters' empty. (I have tryed to put -dev -console but it doesnt work)

Doesn't matter what's there, it's what's in Build Config. that matters. Do what I said before.

omg, i take it you've made your little room, with a light, a spawn and a some other stuff, and now you want to compile, I can't stress this enough ok, "if you compile with hammer, I will burn your house, your PC, and your house, again."

Batch Compiler, the link that steve posted, go there, look for batch compiler, download version 2.somether FULL (anything but version 3.0 as this uses C# .NET framework and you might not be able to run it)
You need teh FULL version because you're not updating teh older version 2.

ok, now you've downloaded that, you'll need to open it up, and do what my next post says:

Ok, you're still using qtools, download this:

http://redmapping.com/pafiledb31/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=2

Install it, open it, and go to:

Options / Setup / Paths and set it like so:

http://img32.exs.cx/img32/493/ex6.jpg

you can see how it says 'tool', and csg / bsp / vis / rad, and I have the paths set to C:/Program Files/Valve hammer Editor/Tools/hlcsg, now you just change the bold part to whatever tool it requests, you get me?

I put the zhlt tools (the qtools are liek this: qcsg//qbsp//qvis//qrad. the zhlt tools are like this: hlcsg//hlbsp//hlvis//hlrad) in my hammer tools folder so i would know where they were, but they will be in your new Batch Compiler folder which will be in Program Files.

To compile using Batch, you need to open your map, go to File / Export to Map. Save the yourmapname.map file to wherever, preferably a file called yourmapname on your desktop, so you can delete all the pointless files batch generates, and when you open batch, you have to select the yourmapname.map from teh yourmapname folder, because batch only compiles .map files, not the .rmf that hammer uses.

Well Red HQ didnt work and ministees site that he gave me didnt work ither.(for version 2.0.3.1 FULL) so I downloaded 3.0 and i cant set it up. It wont let me. I think I need a preset but i don't know what it is and i cant find any .bcp files!!!

didnt work? strange. maybe countermap was down...

F**k's sake, tehre was an error with this site, and all my posts got deleted, I think, anyway.

Get version 2 FULL, form Nem's site (search google for batch compiler)

Then follow teh post right above your post about setting it up to see how you get batch set up so that it works ok.

I'm getting pretty bored with this now, so eitehr give me your msn and let me remotely set it all up for you or pay some f**king attention to what we're saying.

ok i am extremly p****d off now... the batch compiler folder does not have the hlcsg files and so on i am now really annoyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have done a search on them and nothing has come up.

<-- Links page

YES YES YES YES Finally i have been able to download compiler version 2.0.3.1!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D bt this aint the end :

no, it'll be teh end if i see one more post from you about this subject!

ahah, j/k

but seriously, it's not too hard
