Thankyou so much!
Turns out the zhlt needed to be in C:/ drive.
I wouldn't of thought of that, cheers guys!

Now to continue and get bored after awhile

exactly
I can physically change the program to look in a different directory, so thats why i tried moving CS to my C:\ so it was in that directory. But it still couldn't find it.

any ideas?

they are.

Its all on my USB
My counter strike is in
F:\Other\Counter Strike\Counter Strike 1.6
My ZHLT is here
F:\Other\Counter Strike\Other\zhlt253-17

inside it is my map and the .bat file called daniel1

Using this tutorial
http://www.superjer.com/learn7.php

I copy the stuff in and change it as follows

@echo off
hlcsg -nowadtextures daniel1
hlbsp daniel1
hlvis daniel1
hlrad daniel1
copy daniel1.bsp "F:\Other\Counter Strike\Counter Strike 1.6\cstrike\maps"
cd F:\Other\Counter Strike\Counter Strike 1.6
pause
hl -dev -console -game cstrike +sv_cheats 1 +map daniel1

(my map name is daniel1)
(Yes, counter strike is on my 4 gig USB)
(The directory of it is F:\Other\Counter Strike\Counter Strike 1.6)

Ok, all is fine right?
I run it.

I read through it an realise its saying:
Error: Could not open wad file \program files\counter strike 1.6\cstrike\cstrike.wad

So, i copied counter strike to my
C:\program files\
So now it is the following directory
C:\program files\counter strike 1.6\cstrike\cstrike.wad

Then i changed the .bat file to be this:
@echo off
hlcsg -nowadtextures daniel1
hlbsp daniel1
hlvis daniel1
hlrad daniel1
copy daniel1.bsp "C:\program files\counter strike 1.6\cstrike\maps"
cd C:\program files\counter strike 1.6
pause
hl -dev -console -game cstrike +sv_cheats 1 +map daniel1

I run it (yes all files are in zhlt folder).
Exact same error!

Please help!
I want to do it all on my USB if possible

Thankyou for reading.

Omg your having a laugh.

WINDOWS VISTA IS BULLSHIT!

I CANT DO FUCKING ANYTHING

I wana make a Condition Zero Map ok?

I opened that file with hammer, nothing on it.

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGHH

Btw Do you have xfire - itsz quicker and easier to tlk and i can send u the docs.

Yeah but when i save it

It says

Confirm to save as Map.bat.txt

I CANT CHANGE THE TXT!!!!!!!!!!

Ok I'm Using Windows Vista
When i save as "It."

I put in Map.bat

But it still comes up as a .txt file

Also There are only two options i can select when saving

All Files Or Text Documents

Right I've checked the properties

It is a txt.file

But it needs a program to open with for me to change the actuall file type instead of just simply adding a new name to it

It just opens the text document again

@echo off
hlcsg -nowadtextures Map
hlbsp Map
hlvis Map
hlrad Map
Map.bsp "C:\Program-Files\Steam\SteamApps\bengoldie\condition-zero\cstrike\maps"
pause
"C:\Program-Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 10 -dev +sv_cheats 1 +map Map

Ok at the top of notepad it says the following...

Map.bat

Ok So far?

Well When i double click the file

It just comes up as the file with all the text in
Which i put in the post above.

No command prompt, nothing zilch

Ok Guys
I am wicked at doing maps (Well, i got the basics.)
But then when i tried to do the ZHTL file arranging at the end.

I was baffaled.
Heres my Map.map File

@echo off
hlcsg -nowadtextures FirstStarterMap
hlbsp FirstStarterMap
hlvis FirstStarterMap
hlrad FirstStarterMap
FirstStarterMap.bsp "C:\Program-Files\Steam\SteamApps\bengoldie\condition-zero\cstrike\maps"
pause
"C:\Program-Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 10 -dev +sv_cheats 1 +map FirstStarterMap

I have steam.
My Map Folder for Counterstrike is located as follows...
C:Program Files - Steam - Steamapps
