There should be a file called "mapname.log".


Why snark works.

So did you see any possible problems mentioned in the compile log? This is very likely a compile problem, something wrong with the map or so.
The [mapname].log file should be in the same map where your .vmf file is stored. Are you sure it's not there?

Oh, have you tried compiling some of the example maps given in the source_sdk folders? These should work without problem, and if they do, then it's surely a problem within your own maps.

Well, I'm pretty sure some of your Hammer settings for the game/maps directory or the three compile programs (vbsp.exe, vvis.exe and vrad.exe) are incorrect.

Kaboom, there's your problem. Displacement maps can't be tied to entities. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
Find the offending displacement map and make it a world brush again (you can do this with a button in the panel to your right, next to the 'Tie to Entity' button, the 'To world' button).

Uhm, could you explain that a bit more precise? I don't really understand what you just said there...

Perhaps a screenshot would help making yourself more clear...

THEN, mark your answer correct, if it resolved your problem adequately.
