Well, I think the title explains it.
Heres the compile log:

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

I've tryed changing the texdata from 5 meg to 6, but no luck.

Any suggestions?

And what exaclty does the csg do?

heres some of the properties:

2932 Solids
17160 Faces
137 Point entities
255 Solid enities
80 Unique Textures
11.02mb Tex mem

[edit] Removed a 'hut' from the map and it worked, if someone could look at it and tell me whats wrong you can find it here.

Help appreciated :smile:

Do you want to hut to be enterable enterable? I got it to compile fine except it has a HOM effect on one side.

Only problem I spotted. It's BSP crashing, Not CSG (it looks like)

CSG stands for Constructive Solid Geometry. So naturally, it actually builds the physical level that you walk, shoot, interact, and play on.

BSP however, (I think!!) actually creates the BSP file. both BSP and CSG are essential for a compile.

At least, I think.

If you know what a po. file , then you're all set. Did you use any kind of po file?

Totally rebuilt the hut to the grid. I made the chimney a func_wall to
save faces. It will be easy to make enterable if you so wish. If you
use it, totally cover it in the 'null' texture and then retexture it to
save some faces.

Hehe, ta A_S, but soz to dissapoint you :sad: I already made it again, sorry. But thanks any way,

And with the null, its what I do with everything, null it then texture whats is visable.

G.ballblue, its that actual csg which is crashing, windows pops up with an error message saying that it has crashed.

[edit] I'm doing a compile now, its on the vis. I'll prolly add the map if theres no errors.

Oh. Woops :dorky:

If you're at VIS, I'd say you'll be fine. Unless you some how max out your light data :heee:

Me no think so :biggrin:

A_S I just looked at the hut, thats a nice roof on it :biggrin:
