vrad error

[size=13]"vrad.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Everytime I try to compile my map it runs everything fine until it comes up to vrad, then it gives me this message and forces it to close, and the compile completes without running vrad at all.

Here is my compile log:

I've tried re-installing source SDK and it didn't fix.

I've tried fixing "Entity prop_static (-16.00 464.00 -96.00) leaked!" and it didn't fix.

I've tried making a simple map thats just a hollowed cube and a player deathmatch spawn with one light and it didn't work.

I've searched the internet countless times to hopefully find a solution to my problem and cannot find one, please help!

Aehm... a LEAK is the most standard compile error there is. Vrad can't run properly with a leak. Vvis doesn't even try to run if there was a leak error.

Fix your leak and then come back. Use a pointfile and follow the line to close the leak. There's a tutorial on this site.

Why snark works.

Heres the compile log without the leak. Suprisingly, the same exact error. As said before, I run into this issue with a map thats a box with a spawn point and a single light inside it, so it is not a map issue.

First turn off fast vis, see what happens and post the log back here.

Posting And You

Ok, that's really strange. I haven't heard of this exact error before but it sure sounds like a problem with the SDK files. Maybe re-installing didn't overwrite the file that contains the error.

I'd un-install the SDK again, completely delete the sourcesdk\ folder manually, and let Steam re-download everything. If this isn't even map-specific it's gotta be an error with the compile files themselves.

Good luck.

Why snark works.

Vis set on normal: Also with a full deletion and re-install of source SDK:

I've got a vague recollection of something similar happening because of my firewall. I'd stopped one of the compilers from doing something that I thought was none of it's business, and then it wouldn't work after that.

I'm still having the problem, doesn't seem to be firewall related, if its a error with the vrad file could someone send me one of theirs to download? maybe just the vrad.exe is corrupted somehow
