Help

Ok, i know I saw someone with the same problem as me but i didnt fint the topic.
-When I test my map, half-life console closes and it send me back to the main screen. I knew that sometimes its a bad sky in the map poperties but now it isn't.

So..., you load your map up via the console and it just reverts back to the main menu?

Yeap, and, sorry for the two forum posts. =)

Got it!, it was one of my home-made textures. Dont know why but it looks that i can run my map without it.

One of your custom textures or wads?

If its a wad, then you will need to remove it from the list of wads in hammer and recompile the map.

I think its my wad, they told Hammer was having more than 9 (i think)wad files. Or maybe its a texture because i had only one texture from this wad in my map.
I made it with wally.
--- Do you know an other texture editor, cause wally is bad, REAL BAD! ---

When I worked with Half-life 1 I used wally for the textures, and I had no problem with it, worked perfect.

And the more than 9 wads is just a warning, you can safely ignore that.

Yes, it works but when I try to put real textures, pixels are too bigs.

Images need to be less than 1024x1024, its probably a good idea to keep images 512x512 or below.

thanks, i didnt know that. My images were something like 4000 per 4000 !

I think textures larger than 256x256 cause problems in software mode, not sure if that's a problem anymore as I've seen bigger textures. If you use wads with textures larger than 256x256 you will get this from CSG, so consider it a suspect if you have any more problems:

• Warning: Larger than expected texture (x bytes): 'TEXTURENAME'

Also, make sure your texture dimensions are powers of 2 (16, 32, 64, 128, 256 etc) for best quality.
