I really have problems compiling

i'm stuck at here, and the more i try to find out what's wrong,i get more problems.

Post your compile log.

now there is another problem,i need to solve this problem before i can post the compile log-------

I create a entity and i use the selection tool, right click on it and click tie to entity = ERROR "there are no eligible selected objects"

Tie to entity is for making your solid objects into a different type of entity.

You've simply made a point entity, you click on it, then you press ALT and ENTER to bring up it properties.

i want to change it to a spawn place.

eg : info_player_start...

here is my compile log :

ok i think i know this one :smile:

In options go to the game configurations tab thingo and change the rmf directory to somewhere other than inside the email address directory like mine :razz:



then see if that works :razz: and if it doesn't... umm.. /runs

Nooba's right. Hammer can't handle the @ symbol, which kinda sucks when all steam directories use it. It's a known bug, and I hope they're working on fixing it. Move all your crap to a different directory and change the paths for the build programs. Look up a tutorial on setting up Hammer in Steam and follow it. You should be right as rain then.

the error message is gone, thanks!

but how will the map appear? will it appear quickly, coz i've waited a while

Maps can take a long time to compile. Sometimes 6-12 hours, sometimes
even more. It isn't frozen, just taking a really long time.

If you get REALLY big maps, you get the joy of waiting up to even a week like I've had to.

Or if you're not using the Q-...

Ah, G and his Q tools. Will he ever learn? :razz:

i've finally be able to compile a map and play it. Now i'm learning how to make it as good as de_dust etc. thank you all

De_dust isn't that great. Its just a desert with crates and a few buildings.... WOW!

What are Q-Tools?

Garbage stock Quake tools.

Only fools use Qtools. Word to your mother.
