you sure you opened the right .map? just wondering if you have say beta, beta1, beta2, etc. sounds stupid but some people open the wrong one.

I don't know what it means or how to properly fix it, but finding it is easy.

Press Ctrl + Shift + G

Then put in the numbers. Entity 0, so leave it blank. Brush 96, so put that in and press enter, then it should lead you to the cause of the error. Usually if it's part of a basketball net, then whole object is the error so delete the whole thing.

An MS DOS file is going to appear.

Yeah, I renamed both.

I might update it. But why doesn't it work? I added a couple things into the map that already worked in the server, renamed it to beta1 and now it crashes the servers.

I will try updating FileZilla.

I made a notepad file with

custom1.wad
door.wad
gfx/env/Geozup.tga
''
''
''
''

And saved it as syops_riot_beta1.res as All Files and it became a new file. It worked before.

When I upload the map to FileZilla, it fails the transaction. Could it be the .bsp?

I made a map and when I try to play it on the server, the server tries to load it then crashes. I previously had a map that worked perfectly, all I did was add some lights, a pool and changed the room abit, removes the sound, edited the .RES and it crashes the server. The person that changed the map says they don't get an error when it crashes.

Heres the BSP, RES, RMF, WADs and the GFXs I used.

http://www.filefront.com/14233495/syops_riot_beta1.rar

I made one arch, then i put that in a circle formation to get a dome in the middle, i was making a sky light, but didn't know how to carve a circle with that many faces. Thanks, I'll probably make a disco ball.

How do you make a dome?

Is it possible to make a script that only works for one map? Could I make it part of the map? I want to make a map where the T's are partially invisible but I don't want the script to affect any other map in the server.

You can't make 0 gravity, so what I did was 0.0000000000000000001 so they fall really slow.

Is there a way to make selectional low gravity? Trigger_gravity triggers it for everyone, everywhere.

I was working on a jailbreak map which I had spent a lot of time, then vhe suddenly became non-responsive. When I re-opened vhe, the .rmf was gone and the .map was blank. What just happened.

I still have the bsp and it works in CS, but when I convert it to a .map, it's also empty.

I was in Closed Beta and they pissed me off. As a reward they gave is 3 medals to wear. They're tiny, and you only get one for each side.

Thanks, it works!

Question, is the fastest way of compiling just opening testing.bat and changing mapname to use it on other maps?

Yeah.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc170/blenderizeme/zhltF.jpg

I fixed it, went to Save As and did all file types as testing.bat. It made a MS DOS file but i was missing some .dlls. I redownloaded ZHLT, remade the txt and nothing's happening.

@echo off

pause

"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 10 -dev +sv_cheats 1 +map testing

I did SuperJer's way and nothing happens. I did the steam way and this is what my testing.bat document looks like in the ZHLT folder.

Non stop- Go to flags and select loop.

Every 30 seconds- I'm not sure, but you could make it like de_aztec, when ever someone goes through the door theres a sound by making a trigger_multiple and the target is the sound.

Why is HLCSG going here? This is my log after trying to compile something.

----- BEGIN hlcsg -----
Command line: C:\zhlt\hlcsg.exe "c:\documents and settings\user"
Error: Error opening c:\documents and settings\user.map: No such file or directory

I asked for someone elses log and it said this.

Command line: C:\PROGRA~1\Hammer\zhlt\hlcsg.exe "C:\Program Files\Valve\cstrike\maps\pirmamapa"

Why is my ZHTL going into folders that I didn't specify?

I tried his way and it didn't work. Does anyone know whats wrong with the one I have know?

I couldn't find that....

So I reinstalled VHE on my new computer and I get an issue. I followed the configuration from my last computer which worked perfectly, but now it's looking for user.map in my Documents and Settings folder. Why is it doing that? Also, my log is there, I didn't put any Documents and Setting location in the config. They all go to Program Files.

This is my log. I made a simple hollow box, two people and a light. I used the config from this site. http://www.egir.dk/index.php?page=wc.htm (I used it before I found out about SuperJer.)

Ahhh, I found a tutorial on origin, I forgot about that, I just needed an origin. Thanks!

Make a wall or a box, then browse for the SKY texture and apply it. Then you can go to map properties, and for cl_skyname, you can change it to a desert, mountains or a city. But I forgot most of the names, I know des is desert (not like dust2) and city is city, and morning is mountains.

Hi, I am an ok mapper, but I need some help. I'm trying to create a Death Run map, but I can't make some of the traps. Some of them are very logical like the floor breaking, or the wall pushing you, but I have trouble making stuff rotate. I made a thin rectangular bridge like in 35hp_2, but when I added door_rotating, it goes around the whole map. I tried to decompile other Death Run maps, but they aren't very clear. I was just wondering if someone could help, or if there was a tutorial somewhere on making Death Run maps. Thanks.
