CS 1.6 Mapping

[TheCheat]

I recently reinstalled Hammer, and it's not working! Note: I used to map for 1.5, not Steam! Steam muddles all the folders up! It's so confusing! I got most of it to work, except when I compile, it says "File specified cannot be found." This is not on Tommy of Escondido's FAQ, so I'm asking you 1.6 mappers what's wrong?

OK, don't use Hammer to compile. Ever.
Second, download Zoner's compile tools
http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?go=mhlt
Third, to compile, put all of those .exe files in one folder
Then, put your .map file in that folder as well
Then make a new text document, and type this in:

Code:

@echo off
hlcsg.exe yourmap.map
hlbsp.exe yourmap.map
hlvis.exe yourmap.map
hlrad.exe yourmap.map
copy yourmap.bsp "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\YOU@YOUREMAIL\counter-strike\cstrike\maps"
pause

Save this as a batch file (.bat) into the folder with the compile tools and your map. Then double click the file and your map is compiled and put into your maps folder. If you have an error, a .err file will come into that folder.

Um, back when i mapped for 1.6, jess and I dled the zoner tools and used those in hammer, it worked just fine...:huh:

This is easier.

[TheCheat]

Yes, same problem as in Hammer (I think).

From what i can read, theres no objects(entities) in ur space....dunno exactly tho, try posting on a mapping forum.

[CKY]

show me the error file if there is one

[TheCheat]

that's not the error file? :o

[CKY]

The error file ends in .err
Open it in notepad and post it. It should be fairly short.

[TheCheat]

Ah. In that case, it would be:
