Enitities monster_ Created 9 years ago2014-07-24 11:51:10 UTC by Lajron

Well i've been having some problems with placing this entities.
No matter which monster_ entity i try to place , when i compile it , it doesn't show up.
I'm currently using half-life.fgd on Atoms website i have used halflife_3x.fgd and the one from the dev.valve site and i end up with the same result.
In VHE i can see the models properly and everything but after i compile and start the map nothing is shown.
I have run half life campaign more then once if anybody is asking about that.
So did anyone encounter this problem and knows how to fix it.
Also i tried placing my own monster entities and copy/pasting from other .rmf files to see if that fixes it and it doesn't.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem?

Try : http://goldsource.gamebanana.com/tools/5594 for your compile tools.
Those are VHLT 3.3
Also, are you compiling with sledge? Try Hammer or the Compilator.

Yes , im using the latest VHLT v33 and valve hammer editor.
For compiling i use BatchCompiler i guess i'll try Atoms Compilator.

Post a problem map and I can play with it if you like? At least rule out if it's somehow on your end causing the problem(unlikely I know).

Are you getting any messages in the compile log or in the in-game console?

Nothing in the console

Here's the .log file with no errors :

Works fine for me, g-man and scientist mumbling to each other.

Are you sure you're not testing it in multiplayer mode? Because monster entities only work in single player mode.

Well it seems i was missing 7files when i did the "verify intergrity of game cache" this fixed it.Thanks for trying to help guys
