Map won't run Created 18 years ago2006-08-16 00:51:39 UTC by Harrier

I get the error "Host_Error: no precache: *1"

I have no idea how to fix it. I've tried recompiling, I've tried installing ZDHL (Or whatever it is) and that hasn't even come up. I'm stumped.

Post hammer's game configurations, build program and compiling log.

There you go.

You have some sort of error. Please compile with ZHLT instead so I can identify it. ZHLT give some errors diffrent names.

I've tried installing ZDHL (Or whatever it is) and that hasn't even come up.

It probably isn't important, but what do you mean it "hasn't even come up"?

outside world(+/-4096): (4113, -1658, -302)(-373,-1621,855)

fix every instance of that error, and sort your MAX_LEAF_FACES error

http://www.slackiller.com/tommy14/errors.htm

Your level is too close to the edge of the map, it shouldn't be smaller then 64 units from the edge.

You need this:

http://www.themightyatom.nl/hldownloads/zhlt34x86final.zip

Recompile your map with these new compile tools.

Srry - They applications ran but they didn't do anything from what I can tell.

The Hunter - Even after reading that, I have no idea whatsoever on what I need to look for.

Elon Yariv - No, it's directly in the middle of the map.

Muzzleflash - Already downloaded it. Downloaded it again and ran all the applications but to no avail.

You don't run any applications (well, you do indirectly I guess). I'm getting the feeling you may have gotten the wrong idea about ZHLT or something... You just copy the compile tools into the same folder as the old tools, and redirect the compiler to find them instead of the old ones.

If you were already doing what I said, tell me the error you got when you compiled with ZHLT.

Oh, I misunderstood. Thank Srry, I'm going to to do that now.

I'm easily confused

Accidental double post

I have the ZHLT tools and now I get a "LoadPortals: not a portal file" error. And it's still not pre-caching the file.

Always check here for errors:

http://www.slackiller.com/tommy14/errors.htm#portalfile

I did. It doesn't tell me anything on how to fix it.

I get no errors with alt+p, I don't have any leaks, and my map is far from complex as it only is a badly done APC with a func_tankrocket mounted up top.

Go to the folder where you saved your onslaught.rmf

Delete all the following temporary files:

onslaught.max
onslaught.bsp
onslaught.err
onslaught.lin
onslaught.map
onslaught.p0
onslaught.p1
onslaught.p2
onslaught.p3
onslaught.prt
onslaught.pts
onslaught.rmx
onslaught.log
onslaught.wic

Don't delete your rmf. Now go back to Hammer, open your rmf, Export it to .map, and save. Now recompile. Now that all those temporary files are removed, the compile tools can make new versions of them and hopefully create the correct files for each compile stage. This may sound confusing to you, but trust me, it works for me.

Thanks a lot Muzzleflash, it works now.

And it wasn't confusing at all...
