sorry guys i am a n00b and in need of some help. i know my problem is going to be something really stupid so please bare with me.i have followed your guide to the letter 3 times. but cannot get the map to load. using hammer and creating the box room is simple. i save it fine, but it seems when doing the mapname.bat bit i have a problem (or in my case box_room_tester.bat) , i put everything into notepad (box_room_tester.bat) that is required, changing relivent names for map, and currect file locations, but when i save and come out. then try to go back in i get NO console, your guide does show to go BACK in to .bat file right???. i just get the same notepad., i would insert an image or 2 to help understand what it is im going on about. and what i have in my file already. but the {img}http etc etc confusses me (easily done). i knew these n00b quistions are a constent thorn in your side so appoligies
thought it might help to paste whats entered in the notepad:
@echo off
hlcsg box_room_tester
hlbsp box_room_tester
hlvis box_room_tester
hlrad box_room_tester
copy box_room_tester.bsp "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\jasonshadbolt\counter-strike source\cstrike\maps"
pause
"C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 10 -dev +sv_cheats 1 +map box_room_tester
p.s, i tried the "search" as your stickies suggested, but couldn't find this quiry
oops, i think i pressed refresh and posted twice. admin please remove one
