Try to make my first HL2 Mod..

[Darkster ZEROONE]

Hallo,

I compiled the gameSDK with VC2005 like in the wiki tutorial.
I just changed the speed of the rocket, to test if my change work.

Then I started the Mod, but when I want to start a server there are no Maps in the Map list. And when I start with the random option (no other choice) it crashes. It seems that it crashed because the mod have no Map in the list.

Now my question is: how do I get a map in my list from the mod? Maybe some standart maps from the HL2eathmatch.

I hope sombody can help.

thx

You managed to compile with 2005? That's pretty well done.

You need maps in the "maps" subfolder of your mod, otherwise creating a server will crash. So, just use GCFScape to copy the HL2DM maps into your folder.

Are you using VC 2005 express ?

And if so, how on earth did you get it to compile ?

A fact overlooked by pretty much every VC 2005 coder is that there's a full description of how to do it in the Valve wiki.

It's the first test. If you can't find it, you're not fit to be a coder.

I found that, but the page is pretty un-ordered, and most of the fixes don't work.

Then you weren't pressing the right buttons

But at the other hand he was, because he managed to make it work.

Maybe there is a difference in fixes for VS2005 Express and the regular edition.
