I'm creating a CS map and have all my cs_ wads loaded along with a few custom and the halflife wads. I compile and get the usual "warning: more than 8 wads in use" but when I run CS i get "Could not open valve/count.wad". count.wad is not loaded into VHE's wadlist and to my knowledge, doesn't exist. I've had 16-20 wads in use before and ZHLT and HL seemed to work fine, so what's up? If this is the case, how can I use all my CS textures without creating one giant wad or wadincluding and forcing people to download a gargantuan file with textures they already have?

You can only use 8 WADs, so if you have 9, the last one isn't compiled with it. At least I think so.

You need to combine them. I think there is a tutorial on custom textures on this site, and it gives a clue on how to combine them.

Tut didnt help. And besides, if i combine, won't I have to wadinclude, therefore bumping up an already large DL? (I've got 2 custom 12megwads in use) :

Also, I suppose I could remove the ones not used, then add them when I'm finished with my map, but that's really annoying....

Are you sure it's not in the list? If necessary, edit the .map, on about the third line it lists the WADs being used. Change that, then compile without Hammer, i.e. use some a batch compiler like Nemesis's.

Nope, no count.wad. And I'm using the ZHLT Compile GUI, would a batch compiler be better? I'll take a look at the map, and if not, i'll try and reduce the range of my wads.

Err... why would you ever need 12-16 .wads at once? Unload the unused ones, you don't need so many wads. It'll probably be the cause of your problem too, so why don't give it a try?

Heh, I only use 3 or 4 wads at a time, including the zhlt.wad... Oh, and -wadinclude will only include the used textures from that .wad file, so it shouldn't be a real big boost to the file-size.

RabidMonkey: I said the DOT map, yourmapname.map. It'll be in the same directory as your RMFs.

ZHLT Compile GUI is a batch compiler. Far as I know, anyway.

Right, I opened the .map up with wordpad. It's not under the "wad" line. I just removed the ones unnecessary and it worked.
