Odd, it's still working for me.

Hi, a very nice guide you have done <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

But i just have one problem and that is that the models in hammer dont show up(hive,cc,marine and so on).
I've added my NS mod dir and ns.fgd v2.1.
Someone know whats wrong?

ShenTraX · January 2004

they're not models, they are entities.

they should show up as big green boxes, when placed in hammer.

Updated for Cagey's new tools.

I can't locate the .wad file. Any ideas where it should be? I don't have a NS folder. I only have the half-life and the steam loaded on my HD.

Shadowics · March 2004

Steam doesn't have .wad files. It has some other kind of files that you can extract the textures from or you can download the wad from somewhere.

Sorry thats kinda vague - you can search these forums for more info or search the web for the wad file.

Ascelon · March 2004

I don't understand how to map, I've already finished all the stup instructions correctly but how do I start to map? Could anyone contact me on msn at lucaslegion[at]hotmail.com and help me on at least how to start mapping?

watch_me_die · March 2004

Jean Luc & Ascelon; search this forum for "How-to", that's what all the tutorials I've written start with <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

sloppy_joe · June 2004

hey,
I've got 2 questions, first when using the batch compiler the hlfix.exe isn't converting the .rmf file to .map type giving me an error saying it couldn't compile.
what am I over looking here?
second where do I find the opt_plns.exe?
thxs, joe

sloppy_joe · June 2004

Please disregard the first question. I screwwed up and had the RMF box checked causing it to output a .rmf file istead of a .map. definitely an operator error.
my bad joe

It appears that opt_plns.exe isn't in XP-Cagey's lastest (p15) tools download. Where can I get a copy of it from?

It has been incorporated into HLBSP, so you don't need to use opt_plns anymore.

Mentar · August 2004

ok, went through your tutorial and its pretty good but.

im an idiot. sooo..., i have a question thats most likely idiotic.

how do i make the map file into a bsp file?

im aware thats what the zhlt_1.7p13.zip thingo does exept... HOW,

ive done the setup and whatnot where you pick its exe's and whatnot thats in your tutorial, but how do i actualy make the bsp file... the 1st thing that shows up if i try and use hammers compiler is it cant find a bsp file, the batch compiler of course also wants a bsp file. and i cant find anything anywhere that actualy gives the option of creating the bsp file in the 1st place...

When I try to open Zoners Custom Build Backup HLFix OptPlns from Specifications in Batch Compiler I get this error:

"Error (8): Expected "Batch" or "Stage", got "Setup" "

I have re-downloaded, renamed, done everything I can think of. What could I have done?

I have tried both Zoners Custom Build Backup HLFix OptPlns downloads from this thread.
