I have the change level thingy stuff in my map to switch somewhere else
(obviously) but when I get it HL2 exits to the main menu + console. The
console reads thus:

Spawn Server part2: [levelchange]

Begin loading faces (loads materials)

End loading faces (loads materials)

Loading game from //MOD/SAVE/part2.HL1...

ERROR: couldn't open.

execing skill.cfg

Host_Error: Level transition ERROR

Can't find connection to part1 from part2

The thing is that you aren't supposed to be able to get back, and I've
fiddled with the worldspawn properties so that it knows you can't get
back (The "New Level Unit") thing

It certainly sounds like HL2 wants a way back. You don't have to
actually provide one, you could cleverly block it off once the player
steps a few steps with a sealing door, or a cave-in, or by falling
through a rotten floor.

In other words, provide the game with a way back, even if the player can't actually get there.
