SHIT, SHIT, SHIT.
I'm so close to completing this CS:S map, but friggin' pointless problems keep occuring! First was the Bumpmaps not appearing, finally i fixed that. Now when i try to open map i get this error:

Out of memory loading solid.

So i click Ok, and this appears:

File C:SteamSteamApps....strider_oasis.vmf, line 2041: error 7

Click Ok again and Steam shutsdown. I noticed before i saved and exited the map (before this problem occured) some textures weren't appearing, that's when i though re-opening the map would refresh it or something, then this shite appeared. Any suggestions o-wise ones? This maps giving me the absolute shits. :nervous: :aggrieved:

Are VMF files comprehensible in text editors? Try opening it in Notepad or whatever and looking at like 2041 (Ctrl+G, 2041 in Notepad).

Sounds like a good idea, will try!

EDIT: Alright cool, when i went to line 2041 it showed an incorrect texture refference, i fixed it and tried to run the map again, it says theres a problem on a different line 2021 or something. I'm guessing the's are the locations where i had seen all the texture glitches. I'll try correcting them all and it should hopefully run! :)

How on earth can people stand mapping through text-editors!? It would be insanely difficult.

I mapped a box with a text editor once.

Took me about an hour to get it right.

I don't think anyone does, but it's been proven as useful for debugging.

Thread over!
