Okay. It worked. Now I've got two more problems:

Both the doors open at the same time.
My dimensions are off.

Dimensions can be fixed easily enough, but I'm not sure what makes the problem with the doors.

Thanks. And good night.

Yeah. But some other maps I've made worked perfectly fine iwth info_player_deathmatch.

And so has this one. That's what makes it so frustrating.

No compile errors. No problems, save "No player start", but that never seems to go away.

Well, I know about precaching. It's not taking a long time to precache-- It's locking up during precaching.

I'm not using any entities I haven't before, nor am I placing them in funny places (Unless a monster on a ramp would have anything to do with it, but earlier I had no such thing and I had the same problem) Nor am I using any that are from opfor or sven.

O_o

It never takes this long. The map loaded fine a few tests before (before I added most of the monster + item ents) Heck, I've made another map with monsters and items and it was pretty big, but no prob. on loading.

Could it have anything to do with nodes?

That's what NS needs- a bright cel-shaded map, a'la Toonrun.

Hate to double post again, but I fixed my null entity problem (monstermakers), but now it's locking up at precaching resources again. It worked earlier. I have no leaks. This is really starting to irk me.

Now I'm getting some "NULL ENTITY" when I try to run it. I"ve got some monstermakers and nodes down, so I'm not sure what the problem is now.

Yeah, the problem brushes were the ones I used in place of a skybox. I put the skybox back, and it compiled correctly. Then it ran okay.

I'm really confused.

Oh dear. I'm doing something wrong in a big way.

I took out the skybox and sealed up the outdoor areas, but when I compile it's the same as usual. I could post that, if you like.

Yesterday I started fumbling around with Hammer again with the end goal of having a relatively playable map for me and some friends in Sven Coop. It took me about and hour to figure out what the problem was with my configuration, (turned out I had just about everything pointing in the wrong direction) but things got underway well. Having to move the map each time I wanted to test it was a bit of a pain, but it didn't matter much. I tested it about four times, and then when I went to test it after adding some things, (a skybox was one of them) steam locks up while "precaching resources".

I'm only using 2 WADS, and neither is custom. Problem-check doesn't give me anything. I don't have a 1.5 install.
