I made my map and when I double click the .map file it opens and closes instantly. Am I supposed to name the text file .bat and my map .map? Please help, thank you!

make sure that you have file extentions enabled, or so that you can see them. If you don't then the actual name of your file is "textfile.bat.txt"
It looks like "textfile.bat" if you don't have the file extentions viewable, and it is still a text file.
So enable the file extentions, and then name it mapname.bat and it should ask you if you are sure you want to change the file type. Answer Yes. This should help.

How do you enable the extension files? I see the files, but what do I do with them? :S

Okay I got the compile thing to come up but I got an .err. I can't seem to find the problem either =/ No leaks, and I have the 4 files. Not too sure about the stuff written in the .bat file though, can someone clarify on it please? I read the tutorial and I copied the same stuff, I replaced the path to C:\Program Files\Counter-Strike 1.6\cstrike\maps. And on the bottom it is C:\Program Files\Counter-Strike 1.6. Please help, thanks!

Nevermind, I figured it out guys. One of my edges were on the border of the sides. I realized that the map was WAYYYY to big once I got ingame, how do I make it smaller? I need everything to be around 4 times smaller than it is right now, is it possible to do that? Or do I need to remake the whole map again? I don't really want to remake it because I spent alot of time on it, it will take my a long time to make it the way it is right now 4 times smaller. Please help, thanks!

Note: the blocks you create are called "brushes." They just are.
To shrink everything:
You can select everything, use Transform (Ctrl+M) and then Scale everything by 0.25. Make sure to enter 0.25 for X, Y, AND Z.
Also, you should generally only scale by powers of 2. If you try to scale by, for example, 0.333 then all your objects will slip off the grid. And that's bad.

0.25 is still a bit too small, if I make it 0.25 will that make it smaller or bigger? I've tried and didn't see much difference

Bigger numbers -> bigger.
Smaller numbers -> smaller.
All it does is multiply the lengths of everything by the number you give it.
If you give it 2.0 -> it will be twice as big.

I found this in my .err
hlrad: Error: Exceeded MAX_PATCHES

What does it mean?

MAX_PATCHES means there is too much lighting to calculate in your map.
You have too many surfaces to light. You need to make your map smaller or make the lighting less detailed.
To make the lighting less detailed, change your hlrad line like this:
hlrad -chop 256 mapname
chop 64 is the default. Bigger means LESS detail and faster compiles. Smaller means more detail, slower compiles, and only works on smaller maps where it won't run out of PATCHES.

You need:
zhlt.wad
Definition: Add this to your textures in Hammer. It gives you all the 'tool textures' that let you make cool things. Make sure to change your HLCSG line in your compile, like this:
hlcsg -wadinclude zhlt ...
or else no one will be able to play your maps. (Not needed if you use -nowadtextures.)
expert .fgd
Definition: Gives you access to ALL the entity types in CS. Unzip everything to your Hammer/fgd/counter-strike folder and tell Hammer to use the new FGD (Tools->Options->Game Configurations->Game Data Files box).
GCFScape
Definition: Allows you to open the Steam GCF files and access cstrike.wad and other important files.

Are you using a .bat file to compile your map? Or something else?
If you are using the .bat file then just open it in Notepad and edit the hlrad line. You just need to add -chop 256 to it.
If you are using a different method, look for the chop option, or if it lets you type in options, do.

I have 1 more question/problem, am I supposed to use to Selection Tool and highlight the map from the top view by holding the top left corner of the map and drag it to the bottom right corner so it creates a dotted square box around my map. And then I press CTRL+M and type in 0.25 for X Y and Z while "scale" is selected? Because I can't seem to decrease the size of my map. Thanks again!
