Map won't compile :(

When I try to compile this map, it comes up with the error -

** Command: Copy File
** Parameters: "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\fusionx\sourcesdk_content\cstrike\mapsrc\breakforts.bsp" "c:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\fusionx\counter-strike source\cstrike\maps\breakforts.bsp"

The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified."

I tried another map and that works, so it is definately the map. Can anyone think of a solution to this?

Can you post the whole compile log? I have a suspicion that the copy fails because breakforts.bsp isn't being generated.

Go and create a file named breakforts.bsp in that folder and then try.

Go and create a file named breakforts.bsp in that folder and then try.

What would that do....nothing.

I agree with addicted to morphine, you probaly have a leak or something much worse preventing your bsp from ever being made. Post your whole compile log.

a lot of problems that kill your compile like that can be found in hammer, Map>Check for problems

it could be any number of things. the part of the log that you posted only lets us know that no bsp was created. the possible reasons will be elsewhere in the log.

I've heard that it's worked for people with similar error messages.

I couldn't see any errors in the compile log, but here it is anyway ^_^

MAX MAP MODELS

that line indicates that you've used too many map models. these are not only the normal model type models that you use, but also include func brushes, like func_details.

to cut down on the amount of models used, select several func_details that are part of a bigger 'thing', and tie the several brushes to a single entity.

[hold down Ctrl to select multiple brushes by clicking on them one at a time]

So you didn't notice the stream of not loading errors, and the "MAX_MAP_MODELS" error? Sounds like your just trying to load a file that's in the wrong place. I'd suggest leaving settings at default, you've obviously been playing around with them, so use the steam reset switch on the mod.

I tried that (didn't know there was a max model limit) and halved the number by joining 2 brushes together ^_^ Map works now, thanks

Same Error, other failure?

Can someone please help and tell me what the problem is...

I am sleepy and my brain is fogged but only this sticks out to me right now:

<DIV class=quote>
<DIV class=quotetitle>? quote:</DIV>
<DIV class=quotetext>No such variable "$hdrbasetexture" for material "skybox/sky_day01_01rt"

</DIV></DIV>

Try looking into it.

Perhaps someone less sleep deprived will have a better answer.

[edit]

you need to begin a new thread for problem #2.

The best things in life, aren't things.

Orph I don't think that's a problem... it happens everytime for everyone I think.

It's looking to copy your map into an invalid folder by the looks of things.

** Executing...
** Command: Copy File
** Parameters: "E:\Games\Valve\Half Life 2\SteamApps\jonkerh\sourcesdk_content\hl2mp\mapsrc\dm_test1.bsp" "e:\games\valve\half life 2\steamapps\jonkerh\sourcesdk_content\hl2mp\mapsrc\dm_myroom.bsp\dm_test1.bsp"

The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"Het systeem kan het opgegeven pad niet vinden."

As you can see, it is trying to copy the compiled .bsp file from ...mapsrc\dm_test1.bsp", which I am assuming is correct and in place as it should be. It then tries to place the copy in "...mapsrc\dm_myroom.bsp\dm_test1.bsp" - the folder name it is trying to place the .bsp in has a "." in the name, and this is invalid.

Your problem, in other words, is that you have hammer setup wrong. In particularly you need to check your .bsp output folder, so that it is something valid. In most circumstances it should be something like "...\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\maps".

Oh, OK. No problem. But.. If Duncan's suggested answer doesn't solve his woes, it really needs in another thread since this one was resolved in blue already.

The best things in life, aren't things.

Thanks for all your replies, but it still don't work.
You asked me the start a new topic(thread) but I think I'm not aloud.

Maybe this will help you, If I make a map with SDK in Half Life 2. The map compiler works and I can play my map.

If I make the exact same map(just a cube, startlocation and a light) in Half Life 2 Deathmatch, It won't compile.

Atleast, I get the error:

The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified."

To make it a bit more complicated, after installing SDK and opening 'Hammer', there is a map installed with it. sdk_dm_lockdown.vmf

I think everyone has this map. So I think there is no problem with this map, When I try to compile this map, it gives the same error.

A little bit of the compile log

I was so sleepy last night (and apparently everyone else was too) that I didn't even notice that YOU were not the author OF this thread. :biggrin:

I am no longer sleepy but am still as confused. Why can you not begin your own thread, but can post in this one?

As for the problem. I still have no real clue other than my previous reply.

Sorry.

Begin your own thread.

The best things in life, aren't things.

make sure all you game and sdk updates are done up, then start by refreshing your sdk, you game config file; then start up the game, itll reset everything............for some reason it cant find yer file....do a fast vis/fast rad compile on a little tiny map that has all the appropriate starting entities, and pay attention to the file locations.....i seem to recall i had a brief and similar problem between updates....

Doc... :dodgy:

ps....post yer whole log when you have aprob man....soem folk see thing around here that are invisible to the naked "nonbelievers eye"....muhahaha

Source Engine SDK Update Released
January 17, 2006, 4:23 pm ? Alfred Reynolds

A major update to the Source SDK has been released on Steam. Included in this update are several features and fixes for the tools in the Source SDK.

I installed the game last week, so I believe that I installed this new update with it. So I am updated.

I do as you say Dr Brasso,

Map: 1 big cube, 1 info_player_deathmatch and 1 light entity

Compile: Vis and Rad set on Fast.

The command failed. Windows reported the error:

OK, I looked, twice and the same thing struck me both times. You destination folders are different.

In setup, send EVERYTHING to "Maps"

All your paths, save the final one are not going there BUT the final one is. Its looking in a folder, that doesn't contain anything relevant to your map.

Don't argue, just try it and see if it solves your woes. If not, we at least ruled that much out.

SEND EVERYTHING TO MAPS!

agreed.....but resetting his s**t should have reset his paths as well.... :/ yes, its something in yer pathways....or lack of correct pathways...

maybe a reinstall of the sdk and hammer?..... meh.. :/

Doc B...

I have been incorrect (notice I abstained from saying wrong for Master Fisheye) so many times since HL2 arrived. It seems that almost nothing from HL1 is interchangeable.

Still I feel that I am on the correct path. (notice I abstained once more for Master Fisheye)

I even added a bit of humor with reference to my path. :biggrin:

Humor an old mapper, fix your paths and render this option moot.

1: this is were my map is located.

Now you told me that hammer is searching at the wrong location, so you told me, to put everything in the 'maps'(2).

I looked it up, (2) .....deathmatch\hl2mp\ ?
There was NO file called 'maps'.
So I created one myself, wonderfully,when compiling, I didn't get an error, I get no error, but the game didn't start either.

I hope you guys understand what I am saying. Or else, sorry.

I have got a new Compile log for you with (I think) another problem.

There was NO file called 'maps'.

Those are the differences I see. and

Maps is a "FOLDER" not a file silly.
other than that, I am lost.
