s**t.....lost my post.

if you know its architecture, check the parts.... meh

Memory leak: mempool blocks left in memory: 48
Memory leak: mempool blocks left in memory: 3

Those memory leaks shouldn't keep your map from running, so I don't really see what could crash your map.

Keep in mind, that since the last update Hammer & the SDK became quite buggy.

If the map is crashing in game, then I doubt its a compile error. (please dont pust in yellow again, its hard for me to read it)

Try recompiling it, leaod it in the game and see what happens. If there
is a crash then HL2 should have told you what happened (mem
error/lightmap error).

If you have hammer open in the background close it and tyr the map
again (no one should really do this unless they have a UBER computer).

Sorry about the yellow text omega :sad:

I just cant edit it becuase my firfox browser is screwed atm..
Anyway, i fixed it, looks like the was a problem with a dynamic light i added to the map, the weird thing is that it didnt appear in the compile log nor a crash error...
Anyway thanks for your help guys :smile:

And btw omega, i run Hammer when i test my maps...always :biggrin: lol

--Thanks all :smile:

Hey thanks forceflow i needed that hehe :smile: ...will i got another problem
and the problem is under this post that dark did if you can help or any
of you.

And btw omega, i run Hammer when i test my maps...always :biggrin: lol

which is fine if you have an uber computer. But if random crashes
occur, try closing all background applications (eg: hammer, skype, MSN)
and run the map. I find this solves 60% of game crashes.
