honestly? no. i detect a bit of ungratefulness. :/

the log has an error. i am unsure if it is an error great enough to crash your maps. but the point remains, you have an error. fix it.
get back to us when you have a compile log that has no errors and your maps still crash!

ok im stupid tell me waht the eroor is and how to fix it.. and ill.. love you forever.. nad perform numerous sexual acts.

you have a prop_static oildrum, make it prop_physics or prop_physics_respawnable

Unrelated, but I've a feeling the Borealis sky doesn't actually work in
game despite looking like it ought to in the editor. Pretty sure I
tried it in one of my maps and had to change it as it didn't show up.

Search the forums for the error given (there is a search link at the
bottom of every page, click it and check all the forum options). In
this case, that would be "findportalside". I've a feeling it will be
down to awkward brushwork - overlapping brushes, lack of use of
func_detail brushes, etc...

do none of your maps have an info_player_start then?

Its a halflife deathmatch map it doesnt need to...

I changed the func_static oil drums to func_physics_respawnable but it still didnt fix it

i also searched "findportalside" in forums and found nothing my simple mind could comprehend

here is waht halflife 2 deathmatch looks like before it crashes.. as
you can see there are alot of errors but i dont know what they are or
what to do about them

Its a halflife deathmatch map it doesnt need to...

Actually it does. Team spefic spawns without ordinary spawns
crashimifys HL2DM up real good (definately gay slang). I had this
problem when I was testing the bloody things, it crashed. After fixing
it I deduced that the problem was caused by:

The team specific spawns and no ordinary spawns - (Team spawns are only
used in TDM - you can't spawn from these in normal DM - which is what
is run from going map blahdeblah in the console)

P.S. I know CONTENTS_SOLID means a leak but what the hell is CONTENTS_GRATE? A buggered up grate texture?

Its a halflife deathmatch map it doesnt need to...

Don't tell people what is right/wrong when you a) dont know b) asking for help. It will only serve to annoy them and people won't help you with your problem.

You are the newbie in the situation, act with courtesy and grace please.

Good luck with your mapping career if you can't spell 'and' and 'what' properly. Put some effort into it, otherwise you'll just piss people off and they won't want to help you.
There are OBVIOUS problems with your compile log (the thing you posted as your "compile porcess"); the main ones it tells you what's wrong and how to fix them, and the less obvious ones (marked with "Error!" so quite subtle) have been explained to you already. You can search this website or use Google to find the solutions.

I was half right. its Info_player_deathmatch if you do it properly for a multiplayer map

"guessmyname" i love you and want your babies. it works!!!!!

Great.. so now his map works, but i can guess from his words that he didn't "fix" anything. all he did was "add" something.
anyone else get that impression?

he can keep it, thank you very much.
