Exception in map contest

- All textures must be part of ns.wad, must be compiled into the .bsp, or can be in a specially named wad for your map.  This .wad must be named the same as your .bsp.  For instance, if ns_yellow had custom textures, they could be compiled into the .bsp, or they could exist in ns/ns_yellow.wad.  Maps are not allowed to reference other .wads, unless we specify that other .wads will be shipped with NS (like Hanz's wad or others).<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

well i noticed, that u dont have some needed textures i need in my map, such as the origin texture, so is it ok if i incule the halflife.wad in the valve folder?




~~~edit~~~
im too lazy to make a new topic so im ganan ask here, why isnt my hive model showing up?

SmokeMasta

ofcourse NOT that is a huge file extract the textures u need and create a wad from them

DOOManiac

um....   Hl only loads the textures it needs for the map from the wad.. not all of em...

Yes, unless something has changed since the last time I checked (doubt it), you may use textures from the standard wads that came with halflife. But you should obviously really only use stuff like trims or borders, and utility textures like clip, origin, etc.

You can use hl.wad.  Just don't make your level look like HL.

(hl.wad comes standard with hl and cs retail, so everyone <i>will</i> have it)

Can I just point out there is no mapping contest.  We are not competing for places in the release.  The team will release however many maps meet their standards.
