<span style="color: black;"></span>Ok i have searched google for 2hours now trying endless websites, i have tried all the official valve websites, the hammer website, even download websites like fileplanet and i cannot find anything on my problem that can fix it.

I have also searched the forums here for the problem and have had help in the past here, so i hope now that i get the fix i need once again :biggrin: .

^^ Just pointing out iv not just posted without looking ^^
Okay gameinfo.txt for cstrike - im making my own C++ game and will be taking advantage of BSP map-types but for the moment in time i need to test the map during creation in counter-strike (prefered simply for the style i will be going for) yet it will not run due to the annoying gameinfo problem.

I have had this problem in the past and if someone could please post there CS 1.6 gameinfo.txt contents onto a reply - i would say THANK YOU :biggrin: and dance.

Thank you in advance - Wozzer

I'm pretty sure you could just move your modified gameinfo.txt out of the Counter-Strike folder and it will generate a new one.

That's because HL1 games (a.k.a. goldsource) do not use hammer 4.0, nor do they use gameinfo.txt files.

Either you need to start using the older hammer (3.4 or 3.5) with CounterStrike, or you need to compile it for Source. Either way, the brush format will be the same and will still work.

You could even use another editor, since many of them support that format.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.
