What?

Hey it's me Half-dude

Hey all, I just reinstalled HL and I mean completely, I removed the HL folder. So when I went to compile a map I made before I uninstalled HL it would have two errors

************ ERROR ************
Can't open C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\valve\maps\ch6.p0

and

************ ERROR ************
Error opening C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\valve\maps\ch6.bsp: No such file or directory

I know it sounds self explanitory but if I add something to the map doesn't hammer make a new updated .bsp file?

please help :sad:

It looks like you've deleted the old directory structure, meaning that the compile tools cannot output the junk (p0 files etc.) that they need for compiling.

The compile tools do not have the ability to create directories - only files. If the directory doesn't exist, they won't be able to create the file.

Hey it's me Half-dude

No I wont freak out, But I would rather enjoy it if you could answer tell me how I can fix the problem it is vary important :smile:

If it's so important, you might like to provide us with more information. I assume from the fact that you marked my answer "incorrect" that you do have the relevant directory structure, exactly as specified in the compile log?

Fundamentally, the compile tools are having trouble with read/write operations. Here's a checklist:

• Make sure all your paths in Hammer are set up correctly. Same goes for any external compile front-ends or batch files.
• Make sure the directories actually exist and don't have any special write/read protection.
• Make sure Hammer is on the same disk drive as Half-Life.
• Use Zoner's tools.
• Post more information, goddammit! We're not psychic, you know. Try posting your full compile log for a start.

but....but.....its Half-dude

Doc B... :heee:

bs..er..ps....wouldnt an all-knowing, all seeing God be er...umm....psychic?

Er, apologies if that came off as irate - it was meant playfully. But seriously - if you post a full compile log we may be able to pick up other clues.

I'm only a minor deity, you know.

as in .....coal miner?? :eek:

Doc B....

That said, I do wield enormous power over large rolling rocks.

smites Brasso with boulder

ROFLMAO!!!....very nicely done sir...... :rolleyes:

Doc B...

Well it would have been effective....but I had the "Not Solid" flag ticked and I forgot to throw in a trigger_hurt.

Ah, nuts :heee:

Gollum really loves his boulder....

Careful Kapten - you're treading on very deep feelings here. Yes, I truly do love my boulder; I love her with an all-consuming passion that borders on the obsessive. But then that's what love's like, nes pas?

I find it hard to express this without becoming emotional, but I think the lady who sings this song would understand:

(don't you just love recycled links?)

Er, sorry Half-Dude, this thread has been hopelessly derailed. Best post that compile log pronto before we all forget what the original question was.

mikee, im worried for you bud.... ....and if i didnt know what you look like, i'd be thinking i was doing shtick with rodney dangerfield....

What Orpheus said, and you have a screwed up entity. Origin brushes have to be tied to other entities to serve any purpose. Do that first.

simplify the process.

• download the zoners 2.5.3 tools and USE them.
• put everything in a single folder, i take it since you placed it on your DESKTOP, that you are not real picky about locale.
• fix the error fragman posted.
• recompile this map using all this advice and re-post the new compile log for our viewing pleasure, but i am betting you won't need to cause your problem will be fixed..
• copy/paste the successful .bsp into your maps folder.

...and if i may be so bold as to add two thoughts..... :heee:

1....organization.....will save you many hours of grief my friend....

2....consistancy.....see above explaination....same same... :wink:

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

btw....Orph, like the new signature...

but then again, wth do i know....?

Uh-huh

ROFLMAO!!!....yep....hes a sicko allright.....but a damn funny one.....

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

speaking of plumbing, i have already used up my quota of depends tonight, can we please refrain... give an old prostrate a break?

hey, if i can take it, so can you Pops....

Doc B....

Half-Dude, you may find that fixing one apparently unrelated error also fixes the other. It sounds daft, but try fixing the ones that you know how to fix, and maybe the other ones will disappear :smile: It's worked in my experience before.

My the origin brushes are tied to non-entity brushes and are grouped together to make func_rotating and func_rot_door entitiys

Plus the bsp is in the directory that the compiler says it is'nt in
