I have a mod set up that has 2 maps in the maps folder - level01.bsp and background01.bsp. Both are working maps. What script do I edit to make it tie level01.bsp to the new game button? Or to even tell the game to load the map without console commands? Thanks in advance.
 
Im not sure we can just plugg in our maps like that....
 
WTF are you talking about, I'm not trying to "just plug" anything in, I'm looking for the script file that tells HL2 which map to load when you click new game. I already found the one that associates background maps to game chapters. All I need is the name of a text file.
 
You have to tell the Cfg for Chapter 1 to load a different map. In your source engine.GCF you will find under the hl2 tab a section called cfg, under this you will find Chapter 1.cfg. Open that then change where it says map to the name of your map and then save it in My documents, In your hl2 section on your hard disk, under streamApps, make a new folder called cfg, in that new folder drag the new chapter 1.cfg you made and then when you hit new game, it should take you to your map. Hope this helps.
