one more small issue Created 19 years ago2004-12-08 00:55:22 UTC by The Tick

hey guys... dont kill me, but there is one more problem

I thought running zoners half life tools would fix my lighting problem, but the zoner tools dont work when I try to use them. Am I missing something? Here's the error log when I try to use ZHLT.

thanks, peace

Unknown option "-game"

You have the option -game in your parameters, and it is invalid.

Also: The very important process CSG is not being run.

There is no CSG in HL2 compiling.

Erm, why don't you just use the default Hammer 4 compile tools?

I don't think Zoner's have HL2 compiling tools yet...

Why are you using Hammer 4 for CS?

I downloaded the version the version of hammer that Steam gave me. I suppose I should know better than to trust them?
Anyways, the stock compile tools work but they are buggy and slow.

I didn't know the Zoners were for half life, not HL2 or cs:source.

You will have to forgive my ignorance though... I'm still learning.

thanks for help though guys... I'm sure I'll be posting some more nub questions here shortly, and then maybe some nub maps! And then good maps!
