There is no problem with hlrad. the issue is with hlvis. there are two possibilities here.

a. you aren't running hlvis before hlrad

b. [edit] there is an error in your map which stops the compile prior to hlrad.

posting your whole log might help.

better do that then

uhh, how can tracers answer be blue already? he didn't solve the problem (no offence to tracer it was the only answer possible at this time)

in fact there was no answer at all :/

Orph- no offense taken

It does appear that vis is crashing or you are manualy stopping it.

I had a similar problem with a map once, except for me it was CSG. the program just stopped, with no error messages. the only way I could make it compile was to reduce the geometric complexity of the map, but I never found out why it crashed.

remove some fancy stuff...
