 Re: can't compile, can't figure out the solution

You need to get that gameinfo.txt file from teh SDK cstrike_sample_content folder, and plop it in counter-strike sourcecstrike.

Under the build programs tab where it says "place compiled maps here" I put counter-strike sourcecstrikemaps and it seems to work fine. I start cs:s and it is at the top of the list.

If you use the expert compile mode, you can easily make it copy the BSP into your correct folder. After all the normal calls to the compile tools, just make a "copy file" command and enter "$path$file.bsp $bspdir$file.bsp" as the parameters. If you have hammer set up correctly in options this will copy compiled BSP of the current map into your cstrike/maps folder. You could then add a "game program" command and enter "-dev +map $file" in the paramaters to get CS:S to load with your map.

You could allways give nems batch compiler a go if you have trouble with compiling from within Hammer - Compiling in Hammer allways did suck anywho ...

You will find instructions on how to set up the compiler at the site:

I've done /run, but the problem is when every one is talking about runing or compileing a map they always say <*>.bsp, my maps turn out <*>.vmf and says it can't run, also i can't find where to put your map in the css files, please help

Compiling turns .vmf files into .bsp files, which are the files that levels for HL and HL2 engine games are stored in. A .bsp file will only be created when you compile a map successfully - if you try to use the "run" command in hammer and it DOESN'T create a .bsp then your map has some errors or you haven't set hammer up correctly. Look for a file named <yourmapname>.log in the folder you save your map, open it in notepad, and post its contents in here. That should enable us to help you out further.

Yeah, the .log files are what we use to figure out what is going wrong during the compile process, so don't worry about the length.

Is that ALL of it? Looks to be missing the calls to the tools, so it may be missing more.

Regardless, that shows us that the map has lots of errors, particularly with these "microbrushes" you have. I've never had one but I assume these are brushes too small to be use and so are discarded by the compile tools. Are you using the carve tool a lot in your map? If you are, I really suggest you stop, as unless you use it for only the most basic of carves it will quickly ruin your map.

I suggest you set your sights low for the time being. The name of your map, honeycomb, tells me you are probably trying to make something too complex for your experience level. Read up on tutorials for beginners, Half-Life 1 tutorials are still quite relevant, and try to keep your brushwork clean and simple. Unfortunately we don't have any "getting started" tutorials here at the snarkpit, but if you search for half-life tutorials on google it will turn up plenty.
