I am working on a custom CS map, but now that I installed Steam I can't
tell where to put my own map files, nor the WADs.
Can anyone tell me please?

Thanks in advance,

Jim

wads goes to the mod root folder

or to be more accurate

<Drive>:\Program Files (if default path
used)\steam\steamapps\(youremailhere)\counter-strike\cstrike\maps

and wads go in

<Drive>:\Program Files (if default path
used)\steam\steamapps\(youremailhere)\counter-strike\cstrike\

Hmm, currently the default is c:\valve for steam
And I have a cstrike folder in

...\steamapps\(youremailhere)\half-life\
...\steamapps\(youremailhere)\counter-strike\
...\steamapps\(youremailhere)\condition zero\

Which one to choose?
I was asumming the mod version, not one of the retail versions
Or whatever the cstrike is in the cz folder

And btw the c:\valve could indicate that Valve will be the publisher of HL2
But well, you know, speculations...

Weird? The default when I installed it was C:\Steam

Yes, but having played the bots in the Steam beta version, the bots
alone are worth the money :)

The bots are not bad and the maps are rather pretty
For a true HL lunatic it's worth the buy for the maps alone 🙂

Neither in CS 1.5 afaik
Hmm maybe the ..\half-life\cstrike is of no use in steam
Thanks for the update 🙂

Just a side note -
You can embed the textures in the map .bsp file, that way you don't have to
worry about making a new .wad texture file for each map you make. It also
saves a couple seconds each time you load up the map or somebody downloads
it from you.

For instructions, go here :

Thanks :)

Unfortunately, it looks like Nextwish had a hard-drive failure..
whether that's related or not, I don't know, but for some reason the
actual patch doesn't exist to download off their server :-/

I'll see if Google has any ideas.

If you haven't already found it, try:
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/nextwish/gamefixes/nwcsnamefix-15.0.exe

FWIW, I found that by trying to d/l the file from www.nextwish.org . It
said the file wasn't there, but gave me the file name (nwcsnamefix-
15.0.exe). A search on Google for that file name turned up the Planet
Mirror URL. They also list a few other related files at
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/nextwish/gamefixes/ , but nwcsnamefix-
15.0.exe is presumably the one you need (I don't have retail CS, so I can't
actually test it).

I can e-amil it to you if you want, it's only 94k. I can send you nwscript
(which adds menuitems to your in-game key bindings) and the c4 timer as well
if you want.

e-mail me at aghlcs@themadbomber.net if you want me to send it to you.

You actually need nwcsnamefix-16.0.exe if you want to use it with 1.6

Ah. Thanks for the correction. But if there's a 16, why does the link on
www.nextwish.org point to 15? I didn't see anything there about different
versions.
