I take it this only happens with displacements?
If so, add -novirtualmesh to your compile parameters.

Also change the texture of the dock. Docks are rarely tile. -Facepunch

I can,t find the -novirtulmesh , maby u can do picture or somthing , how do do it.

You don't "find" a parameter bud, you "add" it to the compile settings.

The question you need to ask is, "where" to put it at?

Explane it do me, like i was 3 years old, then i understand..<br style="color: white;"><br style="color: white;">What do i have do put where?

There are some tutorials on basic compiling.

I am not positive where, but you need to add "-novirtualmesh" to one of your compile tools.

Prolly vvis, i dunno.

The point is, you need to add it to the compile setting.

Where i find the compile setings at?.. im not that smart..

Start telling me like that:

First u need do go there... find taht... do that ... and soargin=2>

Go to "excpert compile mode", select &bsp_exe then in the "parameters" window add -novirtualmesh. Add -novirtualmesh in front of every other text that's already in there followed by a simple space. So for example

-novirtualmesh $something c:%sourcesomething%/something/somethingigo

Try searching for something before you post. I know I asked this same question a few months ago and it was answered. It would've saved you some time.

The whole point with new-comers is, they probably don't know where to search. It's very straight-forward for us now, but not for everyone. And that's exactly why these boards exist. :smile:

Anyway, as for searching, the Valve Wiki is a good place to start. :smile:

Create-ivity - a game development blog

Yes, do please mark me correct, my snarkmarks haven't increased in a while.

As for the deleted map, try searching in your autosave folder for a version of the map that you can salvage.
The directory is:
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\yourname\sourcesdk\bin\HammerAutosave
