Map Compiling Probelm

I have been playing around with map making for a while, but a while back when I really started to take map making sincerely and made a map I found a problem. Don't worry it's not one of those "WHAT IS A LEEK ERROR?" questions. My map compiling is fine the problem is after I have compiled. Mind you this was before steam was around, so (at the time) it was not that big of a problem. The only way I could run a map that I have made is by compiling it in the VHE. When I go into hl it does not see the map! This was not really a problem I could still compile my map and run it. Everyone else could run my map so hey I did not care. Then I got steam. From what I can tell Steam (After compiling a map) runs the map though hl and or the mod that hl is running. Once again my problem popped up hl does not see my map as even being there! Sorry if this is something n00b that I did but any help that I could get would be grate.

So my problem is HALF-LIFE DOES NOT SEE MY MAP TO RUN IT!

Thanks for your time.

    make sure your map is in the mod's map folder.

    example


    ...\steam\steamapps\email\half-life\mod\maps

    Don't do what BlackPlague says because it's not related at all with your problem...

    To see your map in the NS map list it has to have info_mapinfo (or so it says liblist.gam), anyways, could you give us more information? can you run it if you type "map yourmap" in console?

    And this goes in the Mapping Help and Troubleshooting forum...

    Sorry about the placement of this post...

    You asked if I can run the map if I type the command in consol, no I can't that that's what bugs me so much about. Its like it is not in the folder. I have looked and it is there. DIE HALF-LIFE, DIE! <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo--> ok I'm done now. The map list does not show it eather. Here is what steam says when it trys to run the map.

    The filename is 'ns_Tower[Remake].bsp'?

    It could be that HL has trouble reading the [ and ]. Have you tried renaming the file?
