Nevermind! A helpful fellow at TWHL resolved my issue.

For anyone else Googling in my position:
The solution was to upgrade to Vluzacn's tools and use a func_detail in front of my doors with the Null texture and Passable flag set to Yes.

So, I have a problem that Google cannot seem to solve. I need a pair of doors to block some light in my map. I set the ZHLT Light Flag to "Opaque (Blocks Light)," but the doors are not acting any differently. Tried other types of entities as well as other light flag options.

Using latest versions Zoner's tools and Hammer.

Mother of god...

I'm using Code::Blocks to try and change the HUD color in HL1 and I can't get cl_dll to compile. There's so many errors already in the coding before I even change anything. Google has turned up zero relevant results for a cure-all solution to get started. I've been going through one error at a time and fixing them separately and painstakingly.

How the shit do I get starting coding Half-Life? The source code doesn't compile at all. I also tried using MSVC++ but it won't even convert and open the old-ass VC6 files.

Does anyone have a fixed version of the source code? A version someone has already adjusted to work?

WHAT DO?

Does it matter that my level has basically nothing in it?
User
Eliminated the WAD quanitity problem.

Result? No change whatsoever. What could I possibly be doing wrong?

Maybe it's my Hammer set-up configurations?

I'm going to kill this thing...
My map consists of nothing but a little hollowed out box with no textures or entities.

I can't find any problems with my BSP process, so I have no idea what to do.

This may be harmless, and if no strange side effects are occurring, then
it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange
or obscure errors, consider this as suspect.
