Half-Life 2 Beta General Technical Problems

[Flatterbuckle7]

Hammer crashes on every vmf file i select, even though i set it up correctly. What do i do?

[Flatterbuckle7]

The counter strike beta build won't let me play it because the content lock is on, does anyone know the content lock password? (Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this i couldn't find any other place i could post this in)

[Flatterbuckle7]

I've managed to get hammer to work without crashing, but for some reason it won't compile any maps and the compile process window is always empty. What do i do?

[Flatterbuckle7]

I managed to get hammer to actually compile maps, but it turns them into vmx files instead of bsp files. How do i fix this?

When I launch the game (the half life 2 beta) it will go to the loading screen and crash and there is an error that says “hl2.exe- entry point not found” and the text box says “the procedure entry point RIB_request_interface could not be located in library c:\anon-hl2\vaudio_miles.dll” any fix or am I screwed?

Just a thought as I can't figure out how.

Hello! I've been trying to spawn in Conscripts and even citizens to help against many forms of enemies. But I can't seem to get them right. I even do sv_cheats 1 then npc_create conscript. But it won't work at least on my end. Maybe i'm doing something wrong? Thanks!

pardon me if I'm incorrect. but aren't conscripts just a scripted NPCs? I swear they didn't work anywhere other than maps such as sniper_029. with a scripted sequence.

Greetings,

I have been running a battle on a map I created in the Hammer from the Leak, and I have noticed that the Npc_Conscript functions well without any scripting other than spawners and ai_goal_standoff. However, I have also noted that Npc_Conscript crashes the game regularly in battle. When he dies, he immediately crashes the game. Aside from this, he works well.

Also, did you know that the conscript can jump? I put down concrete barriers and he jumped right over them.

They are and aren't. They have AI, but they don't use the Squad function like other NPCs do. I think the reason why they were scripted only and not put into any of the actual 'battle' levels is because they crash the game and are animated very poorly. (few custom animations and mainly animated from the HL1 human grunt's skeleton) It seems they were cut sooner than later, guessing on how the npc_citizen has both working squad functions but also the ability to be commanded.

If you want to have the Conscript in a level, you're better off making a level and putting them in through the leak's hammer. If they die, they crash the game.

I hope I was helpful.
