info_map_parameters

Hey. I'm wondering, how I can create info_map_parameters entity in VHE? There simply no such entity in the list. I'm using default halflife-35.fgd, do I need a custom one in order to do that?

You're not using a good fgd i suppose.
https://www.sendspace.com/file/a2kc7o this is what i use, and it has that entity.

If your fgd is not supporting it, you c an just place an entity in the map rename it and use smart edit. to create the subnamens.

Smart edit is good quick fix for missing entities and parameters, but to be fair there is no good reason to hold on to inferior FGD file. I noticed some new mappers get too attached to their initial FGD setup and have false impression that their map will break completely otherwise, altough rarely things can get messy a little due to different defaults. In the end FGD is simple text descriptor file, and using outdated one only deprives mapper from a lot of editor and compiler functionalities.

There several good ones out there. If anyone interested my favorite is CounterStrike-xPaw.fgd in combination with vluzacn's zhlt.fgd (that comes with compiler and adds its specific features). Out of what I tried it seems to be the most complete entity descriptor fgd that was also updated in 2011
