Error found when running map

 "The system cannot find the file specified."  

How do I fix this?? --User:CageinmyHead

I added a page for System cannot find file specifed error in the Level Design FAQ. In the future, you can post questions on the Help Desk page. --JeffLane 17:05, 29 Apr 2006 (PDT)

How to add a game in current game menu?

How do i add a new game, like CSS to current game menu? —Unsigned comment added by [[User:|]] ([[User talk:|talk]] • contribs) Always sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~)

Might just be that I'm very sleepy but, what's the current game menu? --Etset 16:45, 1 Feb 2008 (PST)

(Okay, nevermind that, my brain is working at half-speed right now...) There are two ways to add a game to the Current Game menu on the Source SDK Launcher (thar I know of):

1. An official game, when you buy it, will automatically appear there (HL2: Ep1, HL2: Ep2, DoD:S, CS:S, etc....)
2. If you create a mod. When you create a mod, it will appear in the list as well (I think... never tried it actually). --Etset 16:50, 1 Feb 2008 (PST)

Missing entity name triggers?

In GoldSource games, you could use certain entity names to trigger things when a player died, killed somebody and joined or left the game. Do these still work in Source engine games, or has the feature been removed? If it still works, why isn't it listed here yet? Is it simply overlooked? Solokiller 10:48, 23 Feb 2008 (PST)

Why would you want that? Any number of I/O events can be fired at any time now. --TomEdwards 10:55, 23 Feb 2008 (PST)

Then how is it done? I don't see any entity which outputs anything if a player dies. Also, it's for multiplayer, not singleplayer. Solokiller 11:17, 23 Feb 2008 (PST)

I see your point. If you have access to code it should be easy enough to get something running, surely? --TomEdwards 11:19, 23 Feb 2008 (PST)

It's actually something i was looking for for somebody else, from [this] thread. Solokiller 11:33, 23 Feb 2008 (PST)

Changing Character Speed

I am trying to make a new game, I'm going ok, but the character is pretty slow. How do i change the speed of the players? I've looked through different .cpp files but cant seem to find anything.

You want these cvars:

• hl2_walkspeed (without suit)
• hl2_normspeed
• hl2_sprintspeed

Can't download Source SDK

Hello. I apologies if this is already somewhere here resolved, but I have a problem. I've downloaded HL2:DM and HL2:LC as ATI customer. DM is in the list so I was expecting that I will get the Source SDK with it, but nothing. If I look into the Tools section so there isn't Source SDK item. Can I get Source SDK only when I purchase the game or is here another reason of that problem? Please help me. TIA for any suggestions. Reiny 09:02, 12 Jul 2008 (PDT)

2 uniform maps within Deathmatch?

Hi all

I'd like to be able to assign two different multiplayer uniform skins to various members of the multiplayer list to allow for a 'red and green' team.

C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\[my_name]\half-life 2\hl2\materials\Models\Humans\Male\Group03\

There's 9 male models(Vance, Ted, etc)- that use the same uniform skin (citizen_sheet.vtf). I would like 4 of the male characters to use that file and 4 others to use my custom file (citizen_shee2t.vtf). I'm happy to use code but have never coded for HL. Could anyone tell me which files need changing and what to use to change them? Or does a tutorial exist?

Many thanks

Multiplayer uniform selection from 'citizen_sheet.vtf'?
