Ok two questions, I want to make a whole series of maps, with elevators, just like the normal game. How would I do that? Without screwing up single player... Also, in it, how do I add a video between maps... While it's loading instead of a blank black screen?

You need to edit the Arrival and departure transition ents, and make a custom sp_transition_list.nut

And the videos are paths added to the transition ents.
Check here: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki ... vel_Design
Or look around on google.

I can't Find anything on the videos. Will you help me out? I already got all my map transitions done in that nut file. Just need the videos

That helped, but it didn't show me how to add the transition screen/video. Example: Aperature laboratories or Wheatly laboratories...

I think that relates to the file name, but I'm not sure...

Yep, that's how it works. This thread should help.

So the only way to change the transition video/pic is to make a mod of the game with independent files?

No, just tweak the map's file name a bit to get the appropriate video.
Edit: "sp_a4" at the beginning of the map file name should give you "Wheatley Laboratories" screen.

Modding, is the only way, or replacing the textures.
