Talk:My First Mod
Missing step?
I think there may be a missing step in these instructions. Having followed them slavishly, everything works fine until I try to run the mod at which point the console appears with the error "Unable to load maplist.txt" (and other resources). I've found other references to this problem in forums, so either there's a missing step here, or a few of us are making the same mistake that perhaps needs to be dealt with here.
One possible explanation I've found refers to the default HL2 server.dll being loaded at runtime, instead of the mod's version. Is this a build configuration issue?
I'm not after a personal response - I'm hoping to prompt an experienced developer to amend the "My First Mod" article. —Prlsmith
- Since the mod has no content yet, it's acceptable for it to do that. Ignore the error. You can create a
maplist.txtif you like, or just runmap mapnamein the console. Eventually you'll need to add content. See Adding chapters to your mod for how to add maps (although it's probably more information than you want). I'll try to fix up the article soon. —Maven (talk) 09:45, 23 Oct 2005 (PDT)
- You're right, I just got spooked by the errors. Your changes to the article are fine. Thanks Maven. —Prlsmith 19:30, 27 Oct 2005 (UTC)

- You kind of need Visual Studio 2003. Don't know if 2005 works or not. --AndrewNeo 15:23, 6 Dec 2005 (PST)
