The last time I saw something similar was when some entities were removed/added but a full compile wasn't done. HL1 has problems with an onlyent compile sometimes because it doesn't know how to assign entities when they are deleted but not fully compiled.

I once saw a map that had this supersonic entity flying through the map. It was so fast it was only a blur. Turned out it was only an unassigned entity because it was removed, but not compiled.

Was a fascinating thing to see.

/me shrugs.

If this isn't your problem, I dunno what else it could be.

i tried in hl, and it crashed on load because it uses textures from tfc.wad, which don't reside in the hl directory. so i loaded it up in tfc, but the entities aren't for tfc, so i couldn't get any grens to see the black lines. i did have rockets, but they don't have the same spam value.

if you're not using textures from tfc.wad, then remove it, any any others that you're not using, from the hammer setup. the map looks for them because hammer says they were part of the setup, even when you didn't use them.

if you are using tfc.wad textures, then you need to add a line to the csg part of the compile; "-wadinclude tfc.wad". if you have textures from any other custom wads, you'll need to add a -wadinclude line for them, too.

Forceflow's tut (<---clicky) spells it out in more detail.

once we get the map to load properly, we can have a look at these black lines.

That said, posting a screenshot might help us who no longer can use HL1 because our 56k cries when updating steam. :cry:

(whispers)
actually, I am only curious to see the lines.
