How do I make like letters in my map? Like, Map created by Sushi STEAM ID: 123456 etc. I made one already using photoshop, but I'm not sure how to convert it to a wad file. I have Wally already. But how?

If you want HUD to appear on your screen, umm.. trigger_multiple AAATRIGGER brush, and game_text point entity.. i'm assuming you know how to target the trigger multiple to your game_text point entity I believe this requires the expert FGDs

Import it into wally somehow? I believe you could just drag the file right into wally.

Or what I do sometimes, construct words out of brushes. Takes a while sometimes but it works and looks good mostly.

Alright, thanks anyway.
Well, another help. :P
I found the light entity that was causing the leak. It wasn't outside the map... And they're saying that it is. This is what it says. I found the entity already. What do I do with it? I saw a thread that they said to not delete because it might start somewhere else... I even loaded the point file and the lines weren't even close to the entity....

Warning: === LEAK in hull 0 ===
Entity light @ ( 935, 86, 440)
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

There's a post in the FAQ about how to make WADs I think. There ought to be, anyway, but it's not tough. You can find out by playing around with the options.

For the leak the light is the first entity the game found. This is not necessarily the closest, it just means that's what the game hit first. You can look at the FAQ for some information on how to solve this.

When I put a skybox around my map and it didn't say like the hull 0. But it saying the entity was causing the leak. So, does that mean I have hole in my map?

And when I got in my map in game. There was no light.
Here is the log.

Q: How do I make my own textures?

You'll need to download and install program called Wally.

1. Make a .bmp of what you want you texture to be.
(The texture size needs to be multiplications of 16. Examples: 16x16 pixels, 32x16 pixels, 96x96 pixels, 80x64 pixels... and so on...)

2. Open Wally and go to File->New.

3. A window titled 'Create New Texture' will open. You can set only one thing in that window- 'Type'. Set the 'Type' to Half-Life Package [wad3] (.wad)

4. Drag and drop the .bmp you made on to your New Texture in wally. You can add as many textures as you want to your .wad file.

5. Save your file in you Counter-Strike directory.

6. Load the texture in Hammer. (Tools-> Options-> Textures-> ADD WAD.)


Down Rodeo said:
Q: How do I plug a leak?

First of all, make sure you did not create any entities outside your map. An entity outside your map is just like a leak, if not worse.

If you can not find any entities outside your map:
Load the pointfile generated by the compile tools by selecting the "load pointfile" option in the Hammer menus. Then follow the red line in the viewport to the hole. DON'T delete entities quoted as causing the leak, as they are just mentioned as a reference point. DO use the grid to help avoid leaks in the first instance.


That's pretty much the solution right there. Yes, it sounds like you have a hole in your map somewhere. You might want to review the tutorial too.
