heh, that's how I figured it out, I still have problems compiling it though. Simple maps work just fine, but when I complicate things it doesn't work, later I'll record what the error is and ask about it, it's probably just something stupid like there's a hole in the map somewhere. :roll:



Open up the SDK, there are some tutorials there.

Valve Hammer 2

hey since no ones looking at my old post iv started this one....ne ways i made a test map and compiled it... i tryed to play it and it said something about not being able to run the shi.wad file... err whats wrong with it...?

 

[Jin2]

u used a wad file but didnt copy it to the ms dir so it cant run the texture. copy the .wad file into C:\program files\steam\steam apps\<username>\half-life\ms (i think)

[ceriux]

im not really understanding ur question but if ur trying to run your map as in "test it" all i do is compile it then run ms and test it... other than that i cant really understand what ur sayin man -.-

Well.. i guess since i have the time...
(This is assumeing your are fairly familiar with teh "Configure Valve Hammer Editor" window)
General: No changes
2D Views: No changes
3D Views: No changes
Textures: Use teh "Add WAD" button to search for and add all half life .wads and ms .wads (or maybe not all. I know there are some you really don't have to. Like i think pldecal.wad and another one...). These should be in your half-life/vale and half-life/ms folder.
Game Configurations:
-Go the "Configuration" and click "Edit" and add one named "Mastersword"
-Next is the "Game Data" files. These are the files with the .fdg extention. I think the half life one should be in you half-life valve folder but the not sure. You can download the... ms... one... << >> *Looks around nervously* uh... Ask JM
-Skip down to Game Executable and Directory. These are the same as they would be for half-life.
-Mod Directory is of course your ms folder.
-RMF Directory is where the rmf's of your map go I think.
Build Programs:
-Create a new one named Mastersword
-I guess the rest is pretty self explanitory. The bottom should be your ms maps folder. Match up all the .exe thingys in the ZHLT folder that you hopefully have downloaded. Finding the hl.exe should be simple...
Anyways there ya go i think this is what you wanted yes?

im talking about when you click "run" and u type the params and everthing and then hit run in advanced mode and it compiles it and runs it. plz explain that.

Jin2: Read the Compiling 101 guide:

I learned alot from that.

ceriux: That is an entity properties window that has no flags that can be set.
