Better on the zip, still no go on the textures. Heres all the areas affected, so maybe you could manually find the missing ones. I would also suggest finding out how to manually add them in with packrat, (something I will be doing soon)

Now I am on my laptop, and using my second copy of HL2. I have HL2, HL2 episode one and HL2DM installed, If these are stock textures from another game(such as lost coast or something) let me know, but otherwise keep trying to include them in the bsp.

Best of luck

Well nothing has changed, I downloaded the RAR file, and there was a ff_thecove.bsp, (still missing textures)and there was a file called ff_thecove.b sp.bak.

So now its 27 megs zipped! and still no texture fix. Keep trying though.

First off, put the bsp into a zip file. I had to download a 22 mb file. Secondly, the map is missing a whole ton of textures, but I don't know if it's me or if you need to include them in the bsp with packrat or something:

Aside from that you seem to be off to a great start. The layout seems rather sprawling, but it's a bit early to judge. Nice displacement and general brush work so far. Fix those other problems and we'll take another look.
