I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but I've been toying with Hammer, and the new 1.0 FGD, and I'm using Zoner's tools to compile...

I wanted to test this little section of a map I'm working on (and yes it's my first map, since I've now got a comp that doesn't die when I try to run Hammer), It compiles fine, no errors from ZHLT, or any thing... it's named dod_test1 (atm), and well... When I try to load it in HL, the plain HL loading screen shows up, and it just sits there....

So I tried to activeate DoD, and create a game, with the map... and same thing.. goes to the loading screen and sits....

I've got all 3 types of spawns (Allied, Axis, and Observer), and I have the info detect in there as well....

I've double checked my Hammer Configuration file, and it appears to be correct... so I'm really at a loss as to why this is occuring... I've also been looking through the forums, and the faq's but didn't see anything that covered this...

if u used some features of 1.0 like info_doddetect: country for allies: British

or something like that, you can't load your map until 1.0

Hmmm..

I think the only thing I used that was 1.0 spec. was the particle shooters.... But I removed those (thought that might be the problem), and it was still a no-load...


Oh well...

I decided to work on a different idea, and that one is working...

I'll be glad when 1.0 get's released today/tomorrow, so I can play with the new particle shooters
