Map doesn't work

Hi everyone, I was making a map and I often tested it. Then I stopped testing it for too often, and now when I run it, the game won't turn on. Just when it comes to the part: Executing... C:sierra\Half-L~1\hl.exe, it stops working just as if I enabled the button "Don't run the game". And just to let you know I am using [color=gold]Hammer editor.[/color]

I know i should have posted the compile log, but I don't feel the need to, because everything is fine up to the part when it is executing hl.exe.

Please help me anyone, and thanks in advance!

Do you have your paths set up correctly in Hammer? Can you run Half-Life normally (ie with a desktop shortcut) and if you do, can you run your map through the console?

Oh and I hope you dont mind me asking... where are you from originally? It looks like english isnt your first language :wink:

I'll ask the obvious...

Are you sure there's a info_player_start inside the map and all entities are inside the level?

Hit alt+p in editor with your map loaded, see what comes up, if theres errors, fix them :smile:

the obvious tends to be most likely.

1) does halflife start without any errors if you try loading the singleplayer?
2) does multiplayer load the default maps?
3) can you load someone else's user made map?
4) does hammer load and compile without attempting to load map through hammer?

try these in the order i posted them, and get back to us.

Yes, I've tried everything, and it's all in order. I've tried compiling other maps and they work, but my map just won't start. There's no problems, and it worked fine up until some time ago. Everything was fine after i tested it, then i went and hollowed a building and made some ducts on top of them. After I done that, i tried to test it, and everything was fine: csg, bsp, vis, rad, but it didn't load the map. It was exactly as if I enabled the button "Don't run the game".

Oh, and I'm sorry mr.Orpheus, I didn't understand suggestion 4. My English is not really that good.

Oh, I just found out something else. I ran a different map(tutorial) and it didn't work either. That must mean that something is definitely wrong with hammer. Help please!

I just fixed it. I went to tools and just re-did the hl.exe thing. That must have been the problem, so sorry to bother you guys. Thanks for all the suggestions! :smile:
