Hammer cannot create the *.bsp

OK

I have a *.vmt file that I've created from scratch. I added a brush to the map and now it no longer creates the bsp file. Below is my hammer log:

Can you see the problem yourself?

read the log

heh.. the log tells you....

but if you cant figure it out, scratch and sniff below to reveal the answer.

Error: displacement found on a(n) func_detail entity - not supported

:biggrin: NO DISPLACEMENTS ON FUNC_DETAIL SILLY :biggrin:

and if you're not using black background... oops...

disclaimer: not responsible for any scratch and/or sniff marks left on your monitor.

Yes I know.

But the only thing I have added displacement to is a brush.........I don't have any func_details in my map (at least I don't think I do - is there a quick show feature?)

hmm have you tried "Check for problems" i dont know it might help...

Find the displacement surfaces you've used, select the brushes, and click the 'to World' button just to make sure then.

OK

I've corrected the displacement problem and it's not showing any errors in the compile window but it hangs when it gets to this point:

** Executing...
** Command: Copy File
** Parameters: "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\o_lachesis_o\sourcesdk_content\cstrike\mapsrc\Turnpiketoday.bsp" "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\o_lachesis_o\counter-strike source\cstrike\maps\Turnpiketoday.bsp"

And then just sits there - is this still the same problem or is there a log I can view to see what's happening?

lol no it hasn't hung at that point (I hope not anyway!) but you need a command to run the game now (or you could just open CS yourself and run it!)

Thanks

Like a smacktard I had the 'don't run game after compiling' ticked. Slaps forehead!!
