There's your problem: the path in Hammer to your halflife.wad file is incorrect. This could be as a result of (badly) installing Steam, or just a mistake in your setup. Go change it in the Hammer options.

BTW just in case you didn't know - WAD files store textures, which is why this would lead to no textures in your map.

well, im not hip to steam yet (i hate change, as im a creature of habit... ) but i'd say gollum prolly nailed it...its not that far removed from an error you would recieve if that were the case in regular ole' HL compiling...

id say, he didn't search very well, but that would prolly be considered mean, since he is still using the stock tools and its been mentioned 10,000 times about zoners..

but it would prolly be mean so i will shut up about it.

ahh come on guys, give me some credit ? I checked the path to the wad ( I know they contain textures ) and its fine. Orph - im not using zoners because I dont make maps, im a coder and only need to make really small killboxes to test entitys. although, should I use zoners anyway ?

Really, you ought to trust me on this. If the compile tools say they can't find your WAD, then it's not there.

Computers do make mistakes, but they make systematic mistakes only. Humans - like you - on the other hand, make both systematic and careless/random mistakes.

I cant carelessly and randomly select 'halflife.wad' from the browse for wad dialogue...

Could it be a problem with an entiry causing the textures to screw up ? I've coded my own entity, and im not sure if the fgd is perfect... this is the first time ive used the entity in the map.

In that case, either the settings are not being saved within Hammer or you've exported a map for compiling before you set the correct WAD path (the WAD path information is encoded in the MAP file). [addsig]

considering, you are only testing, it prolly wont matter which tools..

but try simplifying your paths, you have so many folders.. try simply c:tools , or c:textures

make the folders and copy/paste the needed items int them.

since its only tests, just be sure the map ends up in the proper folder for loading to HL

It also looks like you have the editor and the game on different disk drives. Don't do this - it's bad.

I know it shouldn't be bad, but it just is!

Yi, the compile tools don't like going interdrive at all.
