Yes I do.

Ok, I fixed that stupid problem. Now, I have no clue why, when I compile, it runs in a really small screen resolution.. that 640x??? one. How do I make it run in 800x600 like it is suppose to? (this is only when i compile, and it auto runs)

Don't auto run.

I figured that much out by myself. Thx anyways.

The errors just don't stop coming.
I tried to make a rotating door, and I must have screwed up somewhere.
It gives me this error when I try to compile:

Error: Entity 3, Brush 0: mixed face contents
Texture C1A1_DR2 and ORIGIN
Error: mixed face contents

What I did was, I made the door, and made a stick the same height as the door. I made the stick 8x8x96 and applied the texture "ORIGIN" from the halflife.wad to the stick. I then attached the door, and the stick, and placed them where they needed to be. The stick was in the wall, which might be the problem, but I highly doubt it. What to do now?

Your "stick" wasn't entirely made of the origin texture.

Uh... merged them together somehow? maybe...

The error is self explanitory.

Vol does it again.
(I would like to remind you that I just started taking up mapping again, so it isn't self explanitory to me any more. :P)

I could figure out how to make vehicles by myself... then I made a gun, but not controllable... now I need to start a REAL map... other than my little grenade launcher... To the point... the errors do a good job explaining themselves clearly, unless you have a entity leak (part is outside).

In which case you should in NO CIRCUMSTANCES EVER build a giant hollowed out block around your level to stop leaks.

Alright, basically, when you have a rotating door, it has two parts.

- The door
- The origin brush

The origin brush's only purpose is to tell the engine where to rotate. All you do is create a brush, textured with "origin" on all of its faces, and place it so that the axis you want it to rotate on is lined up correctly. Odds are, you'll create a long "stick" and center it on the edge of the door.

If you mix the "origin" texture with any other texture, the compiler gets confused. It doesn't know whether you want to use that as the origin to something, or whether it was part of the door and you goofed, or what! So, it throws an error, and tells you to take a look.

Most of the textures that won't actually be seen in the level, such as "clip", "sky", "origin", "aaatrigger", etc. should have the same texture on all of their faces.
