    This should really go in newbie mapping

    -team_command(1) Comm Chair for the Marines
    -team_hive(3) Hives for the Aliens
    -team_start(16) 16 at marine start set to team 1 and 16 at each hive set to team 2
    -playerstart(32) in the readyroom for a full server to be able to all spawn in at once
    -join_team(2) one set to team 1 for marines, one set to team 2 for aliens
    -join_randomteam(1)
    -join_observer(1)
    -info_mapinfo(1) to set the height for commander and the xmin xmax ymin ymax and a few other things for the map
    -info_gameplay(0) not required, not even implemented, don't put one in

    Not quite sure why hl is crashing unless it's the infogameplay screwing up. Maybe give a more detailed explanation of the problem and a mod can phase this to newbie.

    I never have to add any of that. I just start it up like normal. I've started maps with no CC, Hive or anything and it still ran fine. I've also run maps with just a CC/Just a Hive and it ran fine as well. Under STEAM it did anyway, not sure about WON. Don't ask me why either, I don't know.

    If all you want to do is look around, then you'll just need an info_player_start, however you won't have any weapons, and you'll basically be in the readyroom =)

    You might have an invalid string character in one of your entity attributes... when it crashes, does it bomb out directly to the desktop, or do you get an error message?

    If you do get an error message, a screenshot would be helpful.
