It's a well-written tutorial, with detailed specification for the setup. However, I believe it should be categorized under "newbie" tutorial. It's unlikely for more experienced mappers to benefit from this tutorial. I didn't learn anything new from it, and I am even considered to be a relative newbie.

Newbie tutorials are kinda meant to get people up and running with the utter basics, and even though this is a simple tutorial its not an essential step that newbies should be going through (if, for example, they are only interested in multiplayer levels). I think its best suited in the NPC section, despite its simplicity.

Nice one! I may experiment with this since my latest map is pretty much finished. Good for blowing off some steam. smiley

Using npc_template_maker and templated npcs, you could make swarms of white combine etc and different civillians instead of the same one/type every time.

Very nice and simple tutorial. A bit overlong as there is no real need to include how to make a room and how to insert a player. the entity part was nice and easy to understand.

Maybe you need to copy the map file into the steam half life 2 folder for maps, nistead of just having it in the hammer editor folder?

Ryath you have to either run it from hammer or put it in the map folder for the mod you're playing.
Can you spawn NPC's in multiplayer? (I know It's going to cause lagg if you do, so please don't mention that!)
