I've finally decided to bite the bullet and have a look at BSP maps for DBPro. If you look in DB help usage example, It doesn't use load BSP command at all. So I've got nothing to go off.

I've got Valve Hammer and can manage to get a simple map running in Half Life with no problems, but I can't seem to get it to appear in DBPro. I've tryed setting Hammer up as per the sticky thread in the '3d Forum' but it makes no differance. I've copied the halflife.wad file into my project directory (it's the only wad I've tried) and it still won't display. I must be doing something wrong.

The UD5.1b info says it's tested with all halflife maps. Any chance of an example?

post what the problem was. was it that you had an unseen compile problem in VHE, that had nothing to do with dbp?

Just asking. Seems we get the rants about bsp not working with DBP but when a fix is found no one posts what it was (not saying YOU, just alot of these types of threads around is all)

Ok, Wasn't ranting, just wanted some info.

Problem was in my valve hammer setup/understanding.

I've got it set up as per the VH Help file & it works fine in Half life. I created a simple box room but DB wouldn't display it.

After messing around I discovered that in my 'game setup options' I had the 'Default PointEntity Class' set to 'Info_player_start'. but I didn't actually have an 'Info_Player_start' entity in my map. As soon as I put one in, DBPro displayed it. Oh, how i laughed!!!!!

Anyone willing to help me with a skybox now?

Oh, didn't mean to slag the help off either.

There's a perfectly good BSP example in the tutorial, I just didn't look hard enough!
