Q: When I try to run the map it says\nThe command failed. Windows reported the error:\n\"The system cannot fine the file specified\"\n1. A: Your map name would most likely obtain a space; NEVER have a space in a map name, replace these with underscores.\nOR:\nRename your map.\n\n2. Q: When I create a shape using the block tool, it doesn\'t have a texture like on the video does, what did I do wrong?\n2. A: I explained in the tutorial that if the box has not got a texture, go into camera which is at the top left of the 3d view, and go 3d textured.\n\n3. Q: Am I able to make a map for other mods by Half-life 2 such as Garry\'s mod 9 or 10?\n3. A: Yes, when you create your map and save it (.vmf) in hammer, go file/run (or compile) and make sure all of the check boxes are the same as what I explain in the tutorial.\nAfter compiling the .bsp will be in your half-life2\\hl2\\maps folder and in the directory to where you saved the .vmf to.\n\nJust copy that into the gmod\\maps folder.\n\n4. Q: How do I add sound into my map?\n4. A: Add in a ambient_generic, change the sound to what you want and then untick \"starts quiet\" and \"isNOT looped\" in the flags tab.5. Q: What do you use to make maps with?\n5. A: I use Valve hammer editor which comes with Source SDK which is in the tools menu, this can be downloaded for free off steam.\n\n6. Q: I went to file, run map, ran HL2, pressed the ~ button but the console doesn\'t come up for me, why not?\n6. A: Go into options, controls and go advanced and check \"Press ~ for console\". beginner, Editor, Half-life, Mapping, maps, Steam, Tutorial
