I am having trouble with info_player_start. I can not find the playerstart entitie. I click on that chess piece thing and when I use the crosshairs to put it where i want it what happens confuses me. It puts down a purple box and when I check for errors it says there is no player start.I tried forever!!!!!alls I see in the new object screen is......

[entities]

then an arrow and a list of blanks. PLZ HELP!!!!!! I am very frustrated. Also, where can I get textures? THanks sooooo much!!

No! I know how to use the enitys! THe problem is that theyre not in the selection thing. NONE of them are there! the player start, func, use, and stuff is not showing!!! HELP!!! The tutorials tell u how to use them, but I dont even have them!!!man, i need help QUICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You've mis-configured Hammer then, check you added the appropriate FGD.

Oh, how do I reconfigure hammer then? I have no clue what an FGD is, so tell me what that is if will solve my problems. Where can I get FGD's?
Thanks so much

hahaha, Arnt rookies great?

Load up hammer, Go to Tools, Options.

Select the Game configuration tab. There will be a box "Game Data Files", if this is blank you have found you problem. Press ADD and look for the Half-Life FGD, it should be somwhere in your Valve Hammer directory... if not, Download the latest one. (google + Half Life FGD)

Hey, everyone started out as a rookie! EVEN U! Thanks for the help, I will check if it works

Ahhh!!! NOW THE THING SAYS: could not load filesystem dll It said that when I clicked run! I am confused! I have the game excutable in the options as steam.exe! If I dont have a game excutable verified will it still compile it to .bsp? And also, it comes up with a note box and says ..... changing directory, copying, copying...what does that mean? I left another map to compile overnight but it did NOTHING! It didnt make it a .bsp! I hate the compiling part, if only I could get it to run correctly.

try useing HL.exe instead of Steam.exe

Ok, that halfly solved the problem. Now, it is still saying "could not load systemfile dll" Thats exactly what the error says. I need it compiled! I want it a .bsp, but the thing isnt doing it, that error pops up, and another error pops up when I close the program, it says" ShutDownOpenGL-wglMakeCurrent failed" I am thinking I should reinstall the program. The program has so many problems!!!

ShutDownOpenGL-wglMakeCurrent failed

Doesn't really mean anything.. as far as I know. I always get it.

As for systemfile.dll, try searching the forums.
