zhlt.wad in Hammer Mapping

They are the same exact thing just a different look, For example, And aaa_trigger sign for me looks like a bunch of HL symbols, And for another person depending on which texture Hammer decides to use appears as T for trigger, SO dont worry about how they look they have the SAME exact effect.

need help with mapname.bat in Hammer Mapping

This happens when you dont even configure it for your map, Right click on <mapname>.bat and click EDIT. This should open a text document. Copy and paste this into it:

With Steam
[code:1]@echo off
hlcsg <mapname>
hlbsp <mapname>
hlvis <mapname>
hlrad <mapname>
copy <mapname>.bsp "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\<STEAM ACCOUNT>\counter strike\cstrike\maps"[/code:1]

Be sure to fill in <mapname> with the name of your .map file, And <STEAM ACCOUNT> with the name of your account.

de_mcdiddys in Hammer Mapping

I was gonna ask SuperJer if I could do that, But I suck at map making and i dont know all of the textures for McDiddys although they look like they were made with paint

Vehicles, How To? in Hammer Mapping

Im trying to make a map with vehicles like in air_fight maps (if you have ever heard of them). Anyways, I made a flat brush and transformed it into a func_vehicle Then i made a brush and put it on the func_vehicle and transformed it into a func_vehicle_controls, I named the vehicle and targeted it with the func_vehicle_controls, So I go into my map to test if it works, And when I use the vehicle it starts and disappears.

And another question.

Im using cstrike.wad and halflife.wad and 12 other CZ wads, And yet i cant find see through glass. Do I have to do something to make it see through? I have a lot of glass textures glass_bright glass_med, That sort of thing but again none are see through like the truck in cs_assault has see through glass.

Idea for Weapon-Stripping in Hammer Mapping

Well I have 5 maps the one with the "Shotgun Hole" is just one of the ones that has this problem, BTW the weaponstripping, and player_equips are all triggered by func_buttons with "Touch Activates" flags. So there is really no way to help this problem im guessing.

----- END hlbsp -----

-Ive figured out the problem but something much worse is happening now.

hlcsg: Error: Entity 32, Brush 0, Side 1: plane with no normal

hlcsg: Error: Entity 32, Brush 0, Side 1: has a coplanar plane at (-465, -128, 208), texture AAATRIGGER

hlcsg: Error: Entity 32, Brush 0, Side 3: has a coplanar plane at (-465, -96, 208), texture AAATRIGGER

hlcsg: Error: Entity 32, Brush 0, Side 4: plane with no normal

hlcsg: Error: Entity 32, Brush 0, Side 4: has a coplanar plane at (-465, -96, 382), texture AAATRIGGER

*SNIP*

What is even more odd is that none of these have AAA_TRIGGER texture AND, Entity 32 does not exist.
