When you compile the map, is it making a .bsp file?
That's the actual file that Half-Life understands and uses.

Well, you compile the map in Valve Hammer Editor by pressing F9.
If you need to set it up for ESF, read the stickies.

Don't double post, edit your last one, if you need help, you'll get it eventually.
Anyways, post your compile log. If the compiler is set up correctly and is not making a .bsp file, then it is encountering an error in the map which must be fixed.

That's no problem at all, that happens whenever you try to play your map in singleplayer.
Load it over LAN to test it, and that won't happen. ;)

I don't know what causes that either, I'm trying to find out how to fix that myself.
To load it when it doesn't appear on the map list, you make a game with another map, then type in the console map MAPNAME, replacing MAPNAME with the name of your map.
Don't worry about asking simple questions, just don't ask questions that are answered in stickies.
You aren't born with this knowledge. ;)

Click, in my signature, "My Mapping Tutorials". Then, download the files listed, and then go to the compiling section. It will tell you everything you need.
