Runetribe said: Just to ask, but does anybody know how to select a group of brushes, like drag select, or just all brushes and entities in the whole map? My hammer wont work with a drag-and-drop.
Btw, if you finsih it and it works, i'd like to see that :) You can drag-select by choosing the "Selection tool" then dragging a box with the mouse in one of the 2D-views, then press Enter on your keyboard and everything inside that box(including entities) will be selected. You can select everything in a map by going "Edit" --> "Select All" You can select multiple brushes/entities by pressing and holding down the "Ctrl"-key on your keyboard then press on multiple brushes in the 3D-view. EDIT: If you mean you want to copy brushes between two different rmf's then yes, it's possible. However it must be done within the same Hammer-session. Open map in Hammer, select brushes and press Ctrl+C (Copy), then (within the same Hammer-window) go to "File" --> "Open" and open the other map you want to copy to, press Ctr+V (paste). Truck

I think(?) it's using one of the standard skies called "snow". In Hammer: "Map"--->"Map properties..." and write snow in the "environment map"-field.

Quote: Pointers to data significantly improve performance for repetitive operations such as traversing strings, lookup tables, control tables and tree structures. In particular, it is often much cheaper in time and space to copy and dereference pointers than it is to copy and access the data to which the pointers point. Pointers are also used to hold the addresses of entry points for called subroutines in procedural programming and for run-time linking to dynamic link libraries (DLLs). In Object-oriented programming, pointers to functions are used for binding methods, often using what are called virtual method tables.

For H/W try to use "powers of two", eg: 16, 32, 64, 128, 256. (examples of texture sizes: 64*64, 32*32, 128*32, 16*32, 256*128 etc.)
Don't make them larger than 256*256 though. IIRC, it's not possible to make custom decals so you will have to do a texture instead. Truck

mato_mato said: what is leak
Read your compile log: Quote: A LEAK is a hole in the map, where the inside of it is exposed to the
(unwanted) outside region. The entity listed in the error is just a helpful indication of where the beginning of the leak pointfile starts, so the beginning of the line can be quickly found and traced to until reaching the outside. Unless this entity is accidentally on the outside of the map, it probably should not be deleted. Some complex rotating objects entities need their origins outside the map.

During the compile process (.map to .bsp) some information is simply discarded so it's not possible to exactly recreate a .map/.rmf-file from a .bsp-file.
Some decompilers still manages to do a pretty good job. With "pretty good" usually meaning that you need to manually re-build the whole map by using the decompiled output as a template. http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/BSP2MAP http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/WinBSPC In other words, it's usually not worth the hassle.

draining12 said: Yeah, but having no lights in your map is not a problem, it just makes your map dark.
I've seen some strange things happen when people don't put lights in map. A map needs at least one light, if you want it dark just insert one light and set its brightness to 1. (Or place it in a small room that is seperated from the rest of your map ) And like DR says, just because it worked before doesn't mean it will work this time, there's a reason why they put in the warning about 8 wad-files. Truck
User
Try this:
1. Move all your wad-files to your cstrike-folder (...\Steam\SteamApps\ACCOUNT-NAME\counter-strike\cstrike\). 2. After moving the wads you need to update the wad-paths in Hammer. Open up Hammer, go to: "Tools" ---> "Options..." ---> "Textures". Remove all the wads and add them back again (this time the wads should be in your cstrike-folder). 3. Restart Hammer. 4. Open up your map in Hammer, export to map-format. Try to compile with bat-file again. User

No, unless the entity mentioned has been placed outside the map (which will also cause a leak-error) the entity has nothing to do with the leak, the entity is just used as a starting point for the pointfile. Load the pointfile and follow the line and see where it goes outside the map, that's probably where your leak is.

In general, you start out with a block, then you use the Vertex Manipulation tool and/or the Clipping tool to transform the block into desired shape. It's hard to be more precise since you haven't told us exactly what you are trying to do or what difficulties you are facing. antimatter said: and also i would like to know the working of different functions of DOOR,LIFT,LADDER etc For a basic sliding door you use func_door, for a rotating doors and ladders check out superjer's tutorials.

That is what i get now, but im a bit confused on how to fix it,so if you could please tell me what i need to do to fix these leaks that would be great. Make sure there are no gaps between brushes, the inside of the map needs to be completely enclosed from the black void outside. (If you're using Hammer 3.5 you should be able to see the red pointline in the camera-view which makes it easier to find leaks.) User

Start up the Entity report (Map-->Entity report...), and find the button_target-enity in the list and delete it from there.

User
These errors are probably(?) not related to each other:
A leak in the map is usually caused by either a point-entity which has been placed outside the map (in the black void) or a hole in your map which exposes the inside of your map to the black void outside. You can find a leak easier by using a pointfile, "Map" ---> "Load pointfile" and load the .lin-file with the same name as your map, a line will be drawn in the 3d/2d-views, follow the line and see where it goes outside the map, that's probably where the leak is. About the "solid entity empty"-error, bring up the error-report, select the error and press the "Go to error"-button then immediately press the Delete-key on your keyboard and that should delete the empty entity.

Create a new wad with two new textures, the first texture should be named "+Ablah" the other one "+0blah". Cover the brush with the +Ablah texture and turn the brush into func_wall and give it a name. Then just trigger that name with a trigger. In-game the func_wall will change its texture from +Ablah to +0blah when you trigger it.
Don't use this too much in a map since the brush has to be turned into func_wall which doesn't block VIS... Truck

You could just skip both VIS and RAD, eg by commenting them out in the bat-file with "REM":

Then just remove the REM when you want to compile with them. Vis also has a fast-mode when you only need to make a quick-compile and don't care about in-game performance, this should never be used for final compiles, only for quick test-compiles since it may have a negative impact on performance: code
hlvis -fast mapname

To start out, I used Map Viewer to establish fps and world poly counts. Do you get the same result when running the map in the actual game?

Start with doing a "Check for problems" in Hammer, the map has some "Texture is perpindicular to face"-errors. Also if you look at the brushes in the 2D-view you'll see that some brushes are damaged, they're too long and goes outside the grid, delete them.

First, make sure you haven't placed any entities outside the map, that will also cause a leak.

bandora said: but I am not a guy that gives up on this! O.o and I know that it can be done since there's a map that's the same exact idea as mine that's called de_duztec..
Now I didn't understand what fedex was talking about.. like who's Empyre and what does he mean by try to compile the map with different nodes.. and I still don't understand what clipnodes are exactly?? Like maybe if I understand what it is, I could then reduce those clipnodes that the error is talking about.. Also, should I convert a couple of walls, boxes on the maps to func_wall?? will that work? Empyre was probably talking about the different cliptypes that can be set on hlcsg. You could try -cliptype smallest which should create the smallest amount of clipnodes possible, of course it will do so on behalf of other stuff, it will probably cause "sticky corners" and other unwanted things. Turning stuff into func_wall may lower the amount of clipnodes, i'm not really sure but I guess it's worth a shot. Anyway, as I said in my earlier post, your main-problem is probably the two decompiled fy-maps. Start with what DR said and build correct skyboxes for the two fy-maps. That should reduce clipnodes quite a lot. Also that propeller-thingy on the top of that mill or whatever it is, turn it into func_illusionary or just delete it, cuz its fucked up and sliced into hundreds of pieces. User
Quote: MAX_MAP_CLIPNODES There isn't any way to add more nodes or clipnodes to the bsp's (its already maxed out). However, at least clipnodes can be reduced with a bit of work. When the maps are compiled all the 3d 'space' a player can get to is broken up into convex regions just like brushes are required to be, alot of them are extremely small or too small for a player, and if you put a CLIP brush over them they don't become clipnodes at all (well really there are still a few intersecting the brush on its surfaces, but the brush can be excluding dozens or hundreds of them at a time). If the world has had a 'box' placed around it to prevent leaks, its probably causing several thousand (if not 10000+) extraneous nodes and clipnodes to be caused, not only wasting resources but will cause vis to work a lot harder than it needs to. An example map is available, demonstrating how it is possible to reduce the clipnodes in a map. Without the clip brush in place, the map requires over a hundred more clipnodes to define the player-accessable space. http://www.slackiller.com/tommy14/errors.htm#clipnode I think DR and fedex is right on this one. I think your main problem here is the two fy_maps (the one that uses dust-textures and the other which got snow on the ground and some mill in the center), those two maps needs to be completly rebuilt(clean up brushwork) plus they need to have a correctly built sky. Of course, even after you've done all that it still may not compile. You just have to accept that this map may be too big/complex for the compile tools to handle. Truck

I think the map could be compiled but you need to do some serious optimization first. I already talked about it in my earlier post in this thread(correct sky, turn furnitures into func_wall, clean up the sloppy brushwork etc.).
Also, your use of the {GRASS2-texture will look ugly in-game. I don't think you have clue of what you're doing, you're just tossing a load of random shit into a giant level without a thought of: what you're doing, how the game-engine is going to react or what the end result will be like. Start small, do one small area at a time and compile regularly to make sure everything works as planned, then when you know a small area works as planned, add another area and recompile; lather, rinse, repeat. If you would have used this building-process from the beginning the map would have turned out okay (I think). But you didn't, and your map ended up like a giant piece of crap... I think the root of these problems is that you tried to run before you could walk. Without knowing the basics of mapping you decided to take on a big project of building your whole school as a map. This was doomed from the beginning. Truck

Are you sure it crashes? Compiling a map can take hours, it probably hasn't crashed, the map just takes a long time to compile. Let it run for a while and see what happens.

1st I don't think the transparent brush thing is the way other people did it, I mean on most zm maps have fog like that, if I think for a minute I guess it could be included in the mod itself?
but anyway shouldn't all of those masked brushes reduce the FPS? thus making the whole map lag a bit?...well at least while your looking at them. 2nd well it was a rope I made it a 6 sided cylinder so yeah. But I also saw this problems whit other small brushes I had, said it couldn't find the file. but after i deleted the brushes the error didn't come up. I'm guessing there is some kind of problem with the compile tools and small brushes, or maybe textures applied to the smallest faces of the brushes. well anyway thnx for the fast reply. I'm going to check out if the fog thing is mod-related Truck
User
also I seemed to get an error like "cannot ind file specified"
I checked and rechecked the paths, but no problem there. Later I deleted a rope I made and and the problem was gone! I'm thinking that the rope was to small or something, cause I remade it a little wider ,with the same texture, and the map compiled just fine. So I'm asking was my assumption correct, and should i avoid making small circular of any other objects like that? Truck

I'm making this really nice zm_ map, for zombie mod. I'm kind of a newb at mapping, but i learn pretty fast, thnx a lot for the tut it was really helpful.

You mean the folder Power Tools?

turnip1 said: Ok ill give it a try. is it any different to read for errors? I just got used to this one being able to read it and understand it :|.
EDIT: Dont bother with that last part i already downloaded it and ill change the vis in my bat file and see how it turns out. thanks. The error-messages are pretty much the same AFAIK. EDIT: If the latest version of zhlt and/or -full doesn't improve the performance you will probably need to try and optimize the map itself... Truck

If I remember correctly, neither VIS or RAD will run correctly when you got a leak. That's why it's so fast since they're simply skipped.
Truck
User
Depends on your .bat-file, but I don't think so since the .exe's are named the same I think...
Best is to place them in their own folder so you don't mix the files with the old zhlt. turnip1 said: I am seeing the fast vis and the full vis but how would i go about turning those on.
gah to late to edit accidental double post. You don't want fast vis (since it sucks). To enable full, edit your bat-file, at the line which says hlvis write -full after it... something like this, eg: hlcsg mapname hlbsp mapname hlvis mapname -full hlrad mapnam Truck

That version of ZHLT is pretty old, you should try compiling with the latest version: http://zhlt.info/download-zhlt.html

(When loading the pointfile make sure to load the .lin-file for your map, since it only shows a single trace-line unlike the .pts-file which may show more than one line.)
Here's a leak in the map: http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/5820/asdasdeqw.jpg (If you temporarily hide that CLIP-brush you'll see it got the outside void behind it, CLIP-brushes can't be used to enclose the map from the outside void so you'll need a sky-brush there too.) May be more leaks but I don't have time to check... As you've been told, use the pointfile and find them yourself in the future. User

If you're using the Steam-version of CS the default wad-files can be found inside gcf-files (they're in your SteamApps-folder). To open and extract files from gcf-files you'll need a program like GCFScape.

"-nowadtextures" and "-wadinclude" are two different ways to include the textures inside the bsp.
"-nowadtextures" includes all used textures inside the bsp. This can be both a good and bad thing, lets say your map mostly uses textures from the default halflife.wad then those textures will be included in the bsp even though everyone already got those textures making the bsp unnecessary big. But if you're using mostly custom textures then nowadtextures is a quick 'n easy way to include the textures inside the bsp. "-wadinclude" includes only the wads you specify to the bsp, eg: Quote: hlcsg -wadinclude mywad1 -wadinclude mywad2 -wadinclude mywad3 So you only wadinclude the custom wads you are using and only those will be added to the bsp.

If you're mapping for CS 1.6 (Steam) all the game's original content is packed inside .gcf-files, you need a program like GCFScape to extract it. Start up GCFScape and open up counter-strike.gcf(in your SteamApps-folder) inside the .gcf-file, navigate to the models-folder, in there extract the model-files you want (eg. pi_tree) to your actual models-folder(C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\******\counter-strike\cstrike\models).

bandora said: Well the thing is that there's a map (kz_wsp_marioland.bsp) that has decals on the side (mario related decals), and I wanted to do the same (with the same textures) since my map is a mario map. Could you show a screenshot of these "decals"? AFAIK superjer is right, you can't make custom decals. It's probably hard-coded into the engine that decals only work if they're in decals.wad.

Do you mean a transparent texture? If so: http://www.egir.dk/index.php?page=wal_transparent/wal_transparent.html (A transparent texture is NOT the same as a decal, they both start with a { in their name but a transparent texture has a solid-blue background while a decal has a white background... haven't we been through this before in another thread? ) Truck

Yes, it could be that you're reaching the entity-limit. Almost everything in the game is an entity, when a new player connects, new entities will be created for that player, adding to the total amount of entities. If too many entities are created and you go over the entity-limit... BAM!

Create a brush and cover it with a glass-looking texture. Turn the brush into func_wall, set "Render Mode" to "Texture" and set "FX Amount" to e.g. 100 (FX Amount controls the transparency of the glass)
If you want the glass to be breakable turn the brush into func_breakable instead and use the same settings as I wrote above for the func_wall. Truck

The entity mentioned doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the leak, it's just the entity that is closest to the leak (this is relatively speaking, in truth the entity could be very far from the leak).
First of all, make sure you haven't placed an entity outside the map as this will also cause the leak-error. If you sure that is not the case, load the pointfile("Map" ---> "Load pointfile") and load the .lin-file with the same name as your map. Start from the outside and follow the line and see where it goes inside the map, that is probably where your leak is. Truck

Down Rodeo said: It's something of a moot point but I thought that Source and Goldsource were forked a while back and do share a little bit... it's immaterial anyway.
Well yes, I guess you're right, in the beginning Source was a fork of Goldsource, but as time went by more and more of Source was rewritten so today I would guess there is very little left of Goldsource in Source, so little left you can consider Source a completely new engine... The wiki talks a little about Source's origin: Quote: Origins Source distantly originates from the GoldSrc engine, itself a heavily modified version of John D. Carmack's original Quake engine, as is explained by Valve employee Erik Johnson on the Valve Developer Community:[24] When we were getting very close to releasing Half-Life (less than a week or so), we found there were already some projects that we needed to start working on, but we couldn't risk checking in code to the shipping version of the game. At that point we forked off the code in VSS to be both $/Goldsrc and /$Src. Over the next few years, we used these terms internally as "Goldsource" and "Source". At least initially, the Goldsrc branch of code referred to the codebase that was currently released, and Src referred to the next set of more risky technology that we were working on. When it came down to show Half-Life 2 for the first time at E3, it was part of our internal communication to refer to the "Source" engine vs. the "Goldsource" engine, and the name stuck. Source was developed part-by-part from this fork onwards, slowly replacing GoldSrc in Valve's internal projects[25] and explaining in part the reasons behind its unusually modular nature. Valve's development of Source since has been mixture of licensed middleware (Havok Physics, albeit heavily modified, and MP3 playback) and in-house-developed code. John Carmack commented on his blog in 2004 that "there are still bits of early Quake code in Half-Life 2"[26] and numerous development interfaces are similar to Quake's, at least at a high level - but with both easily likely of being Valve avoiding reinventing the wheel, neither are indicative of a notable reliance on the older engine. Indeed given the fact that Source's 2003 code leak did not produce any such claims it can only be assumed that no incriminating evidence was to be found. Source distances itself further from Quake as time goes on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_engine#Origins (Edited my original post to correct this.) Truck

You can decrease the grid-size by pressing the "Smaller grid-size"-button, and you'll see the current snap on grid-setting in the lower right corner of Hammer where it says eg. "Snap on grid: 16". Usually, there is no reason to go below "Snap on grid: 8" when building the larger structures of your map, using a "snap on grid"-value of eg. 1 will just give you a headache when trying to align your brushes and you'll just end up with small gaps here and there which will give you LEAKS. Generally, only go below 8 if you need to do some specific small detail in your map.

Boerworz said: Stupid me.. I thought CS 1.6 was built on the Source engine.
Nope, CS 1.6 is built on the old 'Half-Life 1'-engine (also known as Goldsource). The Source-engine (which is a completly different engine) is Valve's latest engine powering their Source-games(Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source etc.) The Source-engine The 'Valve Developer Wiki' mostly concerns with the new Source-engine so you won't find much valuable info there if you're mapping for CS 1.6.

A texture-name that starts with a negative number is a random tiling texture. The first one must start with -0, then if you have more the next one -1, -2, -3... etc.
So make sure -0CSTRIKE_ME2RI also exists in your wad, otherwise add it or rename -1CSTRIKE_ME2RI to a name that doesn't start with a negative number(eg. "CSTRIKE_ME2RI"). Truck

Fog: Just insert one env_fog in your map. Go into its properties and set 'Fog Density' to '0.001'. Remember that en_fog only works in OpenGL-mode, people running the game in either Software- or D3D-mode won't see it.
Rain: Just insert one env_rain in the map and you're done! Make sure you got a sky in the map, rain will only appear where you got a sky. User
collective.valve-erc.com used to have a great list with description of almost every entity, unfortunately that site is dead now. Luckily you can download an offline-version of it from here: http://www.egir.dk/files/collective-valve-erc-entity-documentation.zip

Mate de Vita said: 1. Ah ok, I get it now. But it doesn't say anything about that brush's texture or anything. Does it have to be a certain entity and does it have to have a certain texture? The AAATRIGGER-brush needs to be textured with AAATRIGGER-texture and tied to func_tankcontrols(see point 8) User
Mate de Vita said: oh, ok. But I'm pretty sure that that wasn't the problem (I ran hlrad).
Maybe I should've clarified better what the screwy textures meant. They weren't dark or invisible or anything like that. They were actually mixing, like where there should've been a wall texture, there was a little of bush texture, a little of ladder texture etc. Sounds to me like the 'halls of mirror'-effect. Which happens when the draw-distance is too short. If you would have raised the 'max viewable distance' it would have fixed the problem. Mate de Vita said: EDIT: http://www.cs-maps.jolt.co.uk/index.php?page=mgun.htm I've read this tutorial, but there are 2 things I don't understand: 1. point 4) in the guide: it says to make the brush where you want the player to control the gun. Shouldn't the brush be at the handles of the gun then? Or is this just where the gun will turn when you move the mouse? 2. point 9) in the guide: how do I get those three models instead of the one that is created in the guide? 1. The gun always has to point to the east in the editor(see point 3), so if you want the player to control the gun in the opposite direction(west) in-game, you actually have to place it at the barrel in the editor. But once in-game everything will look okay. 2. I don't think those are models, they look to be made out of normal brushes with some weapon-textures applied to them. Truck

No, it's the default value for the maximum viewable distance in-game. You can raise it if you're making a long map.

Or you could have replaced 4096 with a higher number to raise the max viewable distance.

Quote: The multi_manager entity acts as a relay for acticating a sequence of events at specific times. usage The multi_manager can control up to 16 separate events. By triggering its Name (targetname), all the events it contains will be activated. To place events within the multi_manager, add new keys. Each key is the targetname of an event. The value you give each key is the delay before it will be activated. Note: to add a new key to an entity, select the multi_manager and press Alt+Enter to bring up its properties. Deselect the SmartEdit button. You should now see just the raw entity properties (keys and values). Use the Add button to add new keys and theirvalues. properties targetname (target_source) Name - The multi_manager must be triggered by another event or trigger to start its sequence of events. Flags This entity has the following flags. Flags can be either on or off. In the editor, these flags can be accessed in the Flags section of the entity properties. 1 - multithreaded Multithreading a multi_manager is designed to solve problems with multi-player games. Say you want a bunch of game_text messages to go to each player as he joins the game. So you set up those messages, naming them instructions1, instructions2, and instructions3. Now you don't want all of these instructions to come up at the same time, so you use a multi_manager: multi_manager "targetname" "game_playerjoin" "instructions1" "0" "instructions2" "10" "instructions3" "20" So, when a player joins, he'll fire this multi_manager and get the instructions, page by page, every 10 seconds. That works fine unless 2 players join in that 20 second period. When the second player joins and fires the multi_manager, he doesn't get instructions, because the multi_manager is already going through its list of targets. So, making the multi_manager "multithreaded" means that when the second player joins, he gets his own copy of the multi_manager and both players get the instructions. Truck

The decal tool is only used to apply decal-textures(not standard textures!). Decals can be found inside decals.wad, their names start with a { and are usually grey-colorish with a white background.

Your document is still a .txt-file, you need to save it down as a .bat-file.

If this is the full compile-log then the tools aren't running in the correct order(or you forgot to run hlcsg which needs to run first).

Too many wads, 8 is max.(Tools-->Options-->Textures)
Also, the compile-tools can't find your wad-files, if you have multiple harddrives make sure all mapping-related stuff is on the same harddrive as where your game is installed. User
Change the Yaw-value(upper right black/white compass in the properties of the func_door). Use the top-view to decide correct value:
If you want it to go up or down, press the little drop-down menu under the compass and choose "Up" or "Down". User

It's recommended to use a batch-file for compiling since it's faster and better.
If you still want to compile from Hammer you'll need to make sure you got Hammer set up correctly: http://www.superjer.com/forum/f9_compiling_problem.php (read my first post in that thread, I'm not sure it's 100% correct but it's worth a shot...) Truck

It should, but remember to use the correct format: Quote: I cannot hear my wavs or Warning: Unable to open sound/C for transfer or com_loadfile: bad usehonk Wavs are tricky. You must use the perfect path/name, with the right capitals; sometimes even just adding or dropping the .wav extension in the name can fix things. If there are many wavs, you have to watch your sound card channel limits, or you will lose sounds/ambient_generics/wavs. If the problem is a custom wav, it has to be under the max size limit of less than 3 minutes, in the right format. (format is: unsigned, 8bit, mono, one start cue, 11025Hz PCM.) You can also try typing developer 3 into the console while playing the map, then walking through a trigger that targets the wav.

No, it's the complete opposite! When compiling from Hammer, Hammer will still run in background taking up some of the RAM, when compiling with a .bat Hammer doesn't need to run in background which will free up some RAM which can be used by the compile-tools instead. Truck

You've probably set up Hammer wrong, go to 'Tools'--->'Options...' and go to the tab 'Game Configurations'.
This is how I, personally, got everything set up, and it works good for me: First, at the top it says 'Configurations:' with a drop-down menu under, make sure you got a configuration selected there, if not press the 'Edit' button and create a configuration, you can call it whatever you want eg. 'Counter-Strike 1.6'. Then you got some drop-down menus, I think they're set up correctly by default but anyway: Texture Format: WAD3 (HalfLife/TFC) Map Type: HalfLife/TFC Default PointEntity: Just leave it at its default value. Default SolidEntity: Just leave it at its default value. Game Executable Directory: C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam Mod Directoy: C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\******\counter-strike\cstrike Game Directory: C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\*******\counter-strike RMF Directory: Wherever you want.

A rough fix:
- Edit--->Select All - With everything selected bring up the "Toggle texture application(Shift+A). - Under "Scale:" enter 1 at "X:" and press Enter, do the same for "Y:", do the same for "Shift:"(both X and Y) and do the same fo "Rotation:" but enter 0 there instead of 1 (don't forget pressing enter after each time you've entered a number). Close down the texture application tool. - You will have lost all your custom texture settings but the error will hopefully be gone, compile and see if it works. - You can then start re-applying all your custom texture settings to the brushes but proceed with caution, maybe just do a few at a time and re-compile between each.

You'll need one that can export models to Half-life's model format, I think Milkshape 3D can do this. 3. cycler_sprite or cycler. 4.
