In step 7 your suposed to type in your Half Life installed place. I don't have Half Life. But of course I have counterstrike. Why would I try making a map to it otherwise? I tried to put in where I have installed Counterstrike (CZ). But "cd C:\half-life", there is where I'm always getting stuck. Is there a location for counterstrike on this? Help please.

You do not know where your 'cstrike' folder is? Look for it and inside it is a folder named 'maps'. 'maps' is where you want ZHLT to copy your map to.

I know where my maps file is, but it says

"hlcsg -nowadtextures mapname
hlbsp mapname
hlvis mapname
hlrad mapname
copy mapname.bsp "C:\half-life\cstrike\maps"
cd C:\half-life
pause
hl -dev -console -game cstrike +sv_cheats 1 +map mapname"

and on "cd C:\half-life", what "program" is suposed to be there?..

Counter-Strike is a mod for HL. So ZHLT needs access to both your 'cstrike' folder and your main 'half-life' folder.

I don't understand what you mean by "get stuck". Did you try to compile yet?

Afaik you should have an 'hl' folder as cstrike is merely a mod for hl, to keep things simple they will create it. Basically it will have a copy of the engine, a few sounds, textures, that's about it. But no HL maps see?

Another solution would be to buy Half-Life because it is all kinds of awesome.

But I don't have installed HL, if it don't just come with when you install Counterstrike... I'm from sweden so I just said that I got stuck, 'cus that would be the best way of saying it without getting bullied for my writing problems. I installed CS on the "regular", I just pressed next on all the questians about where and all that, so if you know where the Half Life file is then tell me. Yes I have tried to compile. It didn't work. I first chose where my Maps file is, but when I comes to that when I'm suposed to type in where the "cd" Half Life is, I don't know so I just leave it there and tries to compile it, and get a file named "mapname.err"... What to do?

I have been thinking of buying Half Life, but when I got all games I want, (World of Warcraft, GTA san andreas, GTA 3 and many more) it sound like a bad idea...

Did you export your map to the ZHLT folder?
Is your map actually named 'mapname'?

I did everything that was written in the guide. I first saved by File, save.( I saved it as "elpopo" to the desktop) Then I made a text dokument and named it elpopo.bat (Yes I saw the ".bat/.exe"thing on every of them.) Then I did File, export to .map in the same folder with the text dokument(now more a .bat file), that was in the zhlt folder.

No I named it elpopo. Is there aything I have done wrong? (except not finding HL file?)

If your map is named 'elpopo', the BAT file should look like this:
@echo off
hlcsg -nowadtextures elpopo
hlbsp elpopo
hlvis elpopo
hlrad elpopo
copy elpopo.bsp "C:\half-life\cstrike\maps"
cd C:\half-life
pause
hl -dev -console -game cstrike +sv_cheats 1 +map elpopo

Oooh... Okey. I copied your message:

@echo off
hlcsg -nowadtextures elpopo
hlbsp elpopo
hlvis elpopo
hlrad elpopo
copy elpopo.bsp "C:\half-life\cstrike\maps"
cd C:\half-life
pause
hl -dev -console -game cstrike +sv_cheats 1 +map elpopo

right of the page, and fixed the "copy elpopo.bsp "C:\half-life\cstrike\maps"" to mine. Now I get the error message ( at least on the MS-DOS program at the bottom:

"---- End hlrad -----



1 file(s) copied.
The system cannot find the path specified.
Press any key to continue"

What to do to fix this?

I changed the "C:\half-life\cstrike\maps" to my CS CZ maps folder. Or do you mean anything else? Do you mean that I said that it's working now? Well, the map was copied to the maps folder, so I can play on it.
