Often because the cycler entity, cyler sprite or some other entity used has the wrong path/name. You must use the perfect path/name, with the right capitals - or it will stop the game. The path should start with model/modelname, not the whole path name. Sometimes browsing to the model works best, sometimes typing the path/name in works best.

Yup, every entity, brush and point, and solid world brushes have X's in them when they're selected. The mark the point of the center of the object.

Try a front end compiler. This is just a Windows application that'll ease the process of compiling your maps. Plus, front ends even have more options.

Here are some front end compilers:

Half-Life Compilation Controller Outdated tool. I don't recommend this one.

Nem's Batch Compiler Pretty big tool that supports Half-Life 1 and Source games and mods.

The Compilator My own front end compiler. Made for beginning mappers. Supports only Half-Life 1 games and mods, so if you're gonna stick to Half-Life 1, pick this one.

You're map is probably badly optimised.

Big open area's with lots of stuff inside is one of the causes.
If you have windows, doors and stuff like that, the engine renders all those area's at once, causing high r_speeds and long compile times.

Is your map like that?

Tommy14 says this:

For some reason a texture has been rotated on the face of a brush until it is "stick out of" the brush face. Causes are usually, but not always: vertex manipulation, clipping the brush, carving the brush, importing a prefab, and sometimes rotating/skewing a brush with more than 6 sides - like a cylinder - without texture lock(tl) on. You could try map problems to see if it finds the error - sometime it does, but more usually you have to hunt.

To fix, select the face and hit the world checkbox.

Post the contents of your log file. Its in the same directory as your .rmf file. Open it up in Wordpad or anything then paste its contents here.
Be sure to compile first to get an up-to-date logfile.

As for the NULL texture, download the latest ZHLT (3.4). You'll find a wad file named zhlt.wad, the NULL texture, plus some others like ORIGIN, CLIP, SKIP, AAATRIGGER are om that wad. Simply load this wad in Hammer and always wadinclude this wad with each map.

in [UTILITY] Compilator 3 Public Beta Post #234989
so why should there be any nice graphics?
Its a front end compiler, not some fancy media player. IT DOESN'T NEED NICE GRAPHICS!

At first i made this for my own personal use, since i've been using HLCC since i compiled my first map way back in 2000. You all know that HLCC is horribly outdated. Its alternative is Nem's Batch Compiler. I might just as well use that as the HLCC alternative, but i don't like the way how you use it. So i made my own, for HL1 only, straight to the point.

What if i mix TWHL colors into my compiler, hiding the default grey Windows XP colors?

Also:
Hm. The interface isn't terribly pretty yet...
You still have'nt told me whats wrong with it. What can i do to make you like it?

in How to reduce R_speeds in large map Post #234982
When you apply the NULL texture to a face, the engine will not render that face, and it'll save wpolies. Best applied to faces the player never get to see. To get the NULL texture, download the latest ZHLT (3.4). You'll find a wad file named zhlt.wad, the NULL texture, plus some others like ORIGIN, CLIP, SKIP, AAATRIGGER. Simply load this wad in Hammer and always wadinclude this wad with each map.

Look closer...

Here's your problem:
http://www.themightyatom.nl/screenshots/problem.jpg

You've put an entity, a light entity in this case, outside your map, in the void (void = buildable space in hammer). Delete it or move this entity inside your map. This may not fix the AllocBlock Full error, cuz there might be more leaks in your map.

If you've opened the .lin file (not the .pts file) folow the line from blue to red, your leak or hole should be close to the end of the line.

Also don't make your lines too long, it can crash HL as well. Create new lines by adding n. Like this: Line onenLine two.

Well i was talking about those vending machines from Black Mesa, the red and the... green/yellow one.

But i guess, size limit is indeed kinda resticting, so you may use any size as long as you don't make a vending machine that is 4 units high and 1536 units width, or anything like that.

Custom vending machine textures are allowed.

Ok, how about another minicompo?
I was thinking about those iconic vending machines that you'll find everywhere in Black Mesa. Create a map where vending machines play the key role.

Extra chance of winning when your map has:
  • funnyness potential.
  • originality.
  • interaction with other characters, events etc.
Deadline: september 29th.
Custom vending machine textures are allowed.
