Ok....I did the tutorioal...

Did EVERYTHING!

So when I made the batch files a made a few errors but they are fixed and the bad goes through with no errors.

But when it goes to launch the game with the map, it just sits at the main menu.

Is there something else im supposed to do or how do I even save my map as a ".bsp"

Any help would be great!

THanks

well umm.....did you export the file to where your zhlt compilers are. if not then do it, well before you do that check for errors, go to map>checkforerrors, and if is sais any FIX THEM. make sure you save your map in valve hammer maps too. after that press f9 and wait for the compiler to finish, if it opens up steam automatically then something went wrong because theres supposed to be some text that says the status, like build vis etc.... here ill post one of my correctly compile maps and one on my non correctly compiled maps

Error:
A LEAK is a hole in the map, where the inside of it is exposed to the
(unwanted) outside region. The entity listed in the error is just a helpful
indication of where the beginning of the leak pointfile starts, so the
beginning of the line can be quickly found and traced to until reaching the
outside. Unless this entity is accidentally on the outside of the map, it
probably should not be deleted. Some complex rotating objects entities need
their origins outside the map. To deal with these, just enclose the origin
brush with a solid world brush

and so on, this is because the hlvis DID function are compile the map Corectly. so if you dont see anything in the compiling window that says buildportalvis or anything else that looks similar then YOU HAVE A LEAK....so go fix that leak

and when you export its supposed to BE a .map when you save the file in your Valve hammer maps its should be .rmf

also and EASIER way of making a box is just make it the size of the room you were goin to make(with correct hight and width) and then makeing it a hallow, to do that just simply highlight it right click it on one of 2d veiws and click on the selection that says make hallow. or easier is go to tools<makehallow and there you go no leaks

thats not what he asked ...

is your map in your maps-list in game ? if not then copy your map manually to your cstrike/maps folder

and then check the red part in your .bat file and see if yours is pointing to your ACTUAL maps folder

@echo off
hlcsg mapname
hlbsp mapname
hlvis mapname
hlrad mapname
copy mapname.bsp "D:\CS.NS\cstrike\maps"
cd D:\CS.NS
pause
hl -dev -console -game cstrike +sv_cheats 1 +map mapname

make sure that the red part in your .bat file is the path to your actual maps folder

also when you make a map in hammer you can save it as an . rmf file ... this is read by hammer
when your done you MUST export it to a .map file
and put it in your zhtl folder ( so its simple if there all in 1 spot )

now after that you make your .bat file as you learned
and the complier should make a .bsp file of your map and should automatically copy it to your folder if everything is correct

I think he said that the bat had no errors in it in the end... The easiest way to proceed would be to look for "youmapname.bsp" where (obviously) "yourmapname" is the name of, surprise surprise, your map. Then cut-and-paste it to cstrike/maps as someone said and it should be around in the game menu for launching.

PS The batch file is the bit wot makes the bsp file. It should copy it to cstrike/maps so check there first ;)

Ttook everyone's advice and sure enough some errors where corrected, however I am at a stand still again.

Now the I get the message that 1 fire was copied and transfered to the MAPS forlder in...it will now AUTO boot my CS and attempt to connect the map I just made.

That sound all great and dandy untill the loading process begins.

For some reason now that all errors and compiling is set and corrected, my map will not load. It just sits there at
"Starting ocal game server..."

Is there something else wrong?

Try to manually start the map instead: Start up CS, press "New Game" and choose your map in the map-list.

That's what I did, I have the same problem like him. I am stuck at starting Local Game Server. It does not work too, I started it manually and clicked on new game. Still same stand still.

Hey I have a question. I'm making a map with hammer and I was wondering is it possible to put mirrors on the walls? If not thats ok but if you can, can you send me the Link please. Thanks.

Ughhh... stop hijacking other peoples threads!

Do a check for problems in Hammer(Alt+P) and see if your map has any problems if not look for errors in the compile-log.

I did that, I got, "No errors found" This is really frustrating.
