Seting up Expert Compile

Hello all,

I am trying to set up the expert compile. I used the tutorial http://www.snarkpit.com/editing.php?page=tutorials&id=126.

I compile the map and here is what I get. I made the text red for the access denied command (all the way near the bottom) I also have one other question about the

Memory leak: mempool blocks left in memory: 49

Is this just a memory leak? I have seen it on every map I have tried to compile even if it is just a hollow box around a info player start entity.

Thanks in advance,

Jp

OK ... I am dumb as a rock. I had hammer set to Half-Life 2 instead of the Half-Life 2 Death Match in the Source SDK window. Sorry to waste everyones time.

For one never run the map while hammer is running unless you have a
super computer. Two "map HELLOW~1" is an invalid name for a map I
believe, try nameing it something else.

Try copying the bsp into your maps folder (C:Program FilesValveSteamSteamAppsyour e-mailhalf-life
2hl2maps) then run the game and in the console type "map your map
name" without the quotes, and test your level that way.

PS: I always get that memory leak also, you want to look for the term
*****leaked***** for it to be an actual leak, so you dont have anything
to worry about.

I don't have a super computer and I run maps with hammer running all the time ... Yes with HL2. I usually keep HL2 running in the background and alt + tab out. much quicker.

i had that problem, becouse i have win ME instead of win xp i think,
but it could be just the name of the map , if theres a ~ it's always
bad (exept if you put it there)

Something in the latest Hammer update has "broken" the expert compile, and it can't seem to run the game executable any more. For now you'll have to enter "C:\Steam\Steam.exe" as the command manually.

Also note that some variables- e.g. $bspdir- don't work now, either. Hopefully this will be fixed soon :smile:
