Map Will Not Run On Half-Life 1 SDK

[Mad Squirrel]

Look, I don't care if people are not interested in using the SDK for Half-Life 1. All of that crap about how low the graphics are and such are not something I care about. Half-Life is a classic, and it's founded by the very people who made Steam. I'm compiling a map for a test run; but instead of running the map, it just goes to the game's main menu. What am I doing wrong? Here's what the compiler has shown me. Further note, the map is in the .rmf format.

Seems it did not compile. Either a crappy compiler or there's something wrong in your set-up.

What's the convert parameter on the last line?

more than 8 wad files listed? paths/set up is possibly wrong in your hammer set up.

The compilers that come with the SDK are very old they need to be updated with either ZHLT or preferably VHLT linked below.

If you use VHLT texture lights and water will be dark without a light_surface entity which makes them emit light.
Use func_detail instead of func_wall to prevent face splitting. Have a read though the sven forum thread it covers everything.

There is a new version of hammer 3.5 that adds model support but most Goldsrc mappers are now using J.a.c.k as it has many extra features.
