Mod_NumForName

More fun. Trying to load map (Steam), it crashes to desktop with the following error message. Yes, no 'e' on "Valv" in this message. My directory says "Valve".

Dude, the 'e' is gone, so is the rest of the path. They probably use a string, since its made for MS and just have a limit on the directory path size.

Seocndly, it means something in the map is missing the steam needs ... like if you have models in your map you have to make a res file. (this is what usually causes that if I'm not mistaken).

Thirdly, if you can keep your sanity long enough, you might find an answer on the steam forums ... just don't ask the question there (you'll have to sift through about 20 immediate posts of "I have the same problem LOLZ" before getting anything close to an answer.

I'll take a quick look at post a link here if I find anything.

[EDIT]
I found this It will probably help, they say that you must have game folders targeted in HAMMER ... doesn't make much sense ... but it might help
[/EDIT]

okay go to options in compiling maps, and make sure you typed valve correctly in the path, that looks like the problem. I thinks is "place map in this directory before running" might have the "e" in valve missing, making WC put the map in the wrong place, and steam can't find it.

Yeah, I was going through the ENV_MODELs when I noticed that. I changed it and now am compiling, just as I hit refresh here and found your thread. Thanks for looking, though.

Now, I am getting:

Mod_NameForNum: <modelname>

I checked, the model is there and is spelled correctly.

models/cell_pne2.mdl

There is no 'i' in the model name. That is it's name.

I figured it out.

How did you figure it out? Its good to put down how problems are resolved for future reference :smile:

It was a dumb mistake: I put "cell_pne2.mdl" instead of "models/cell_pne2.mdl" for one of the trees. I f**king hate entities sometimes.
