i’m trying to figure out how to remove the water from the water hazard maps for a sv\_friction 0 run i want to do purely for my own entertainment. i only got as far as canals\_06 simply because i can only get the map to run on retail hl2 and not the old engine of hl2. is there a reason for this? i’ve looked everywhere to find a solution so any help what so ever is greatly appreciated.

Are you working with decompiled maps? If so, what version of HL2 are they from?
