Yeah I am using just light, and I also put out environtmental light or something because the lights didnt work.

When I FIRST tried the map out I could fire a gun, but was black. But currently when I try it out it wont fire or anything, I can hear my guy running around though.

Is someone willing to DL my map from me to help me find out the problem? Superjer??

What do u mean skip running hlrad? Whats that?


EDIT: When I run the map just through cs and not the .bat file I can fire a gun. I can also work the flashlight using what u said. Still no over l;ighting tho.

Yeah I made sure they were not touching anything.

A few lights are colored light blue, the others (under spawn) are white. All are angled at 0.....I dont understand wtf'n problem is.


Will someone give me their email so I can send them my map and they can help me more 'hands on' like??

BTW the map is my first and im just screwing around so its nothing special but I would really like to figure this stuff out so I can at least make some maps.

changed it to mp_flashlight 1, and it still didnt work.

brightless on the light (last number) is 200, and I have about 8 scattered through the map and 3 around the spawn points.

Also no errors from what I can see. Here is the stuff that comes up.

If someone doesnt see a problem maybe I can send them my map.rsf or whatever is needed to open in hammer.

Thanks in advance!!

1 file(s) copied.
Press any key to continue . . .

Also my screen is completely black when I try the map out. Cant use flashlight and the 8 lights I set up arent working.

Yup it was .bat.txt, thanks a lot guys!!!


Just one more question, how do I get my flashlight to work?? Its not working for some reason.

no, not fixed.

Im saying I corrected a possible problem.

saw a problem in c:\steam\steam.exe, it was actually different but I fixed it. Changed it to C:\program files\steam\steam.exe

So everything is correct except that.

I went through superjar's tutorial and everything fine except when I am creating the "mapname.bat" and putting the information in there nothing happens when I re-open it.


All the correct info is in it, and like the tutorial says edit the pre input information. I called my map "Mikey"

heres the input:

@echo off
hlcsg -nowadtextures mikey
hlbsp mikey
hlvis mikey
hlrad mikey
copy mikey.bsp "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\crxb16a2\counter-strike\cstrike\maps"
pause
"C:\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 10 -dev +sv_cheats 1 +map mikey


then I close it, save it, and double click it expecting "things" to happen and then nothing does.

Someone PLEASE help!!!
