Need help with running my map Created 17 years ago2007-07-01 11:38:10 UTC by moozak

Hi, i'm pretty new to mapping, and I was wondering if anyone can help me.
So here's the prob, I just compiled my map, and it ran every other time I ran it. But this time, it just closed CS altogether.
What I did earlier was delete a few mines (a chain of triggers, explo entities, env render, etc2) but I have no idea what went wrong >_>.
Anyone got a clue?
Thanks in advance =)

First of all, welcome to the community, second of all, its the wrong section of the forum (maps and mods is for new maps and mods in creation), but whatever.

Are you getting any errors when you go to run CS?
Does anything really stand out to you in the compile log?
Read through the log, and anything that looks.. wierd, go here and search for any problems.

If you cant find anything, post the compile log here.
And if that fails, you can upload the map to the problem vault.

Ah ic, thanks for the help...I better move this now>_>

Dont create a new topic, let a mod do it.

muzz?? seventh? u guys there

Moved.

Well, I guess i'm gonna post compile log here =P. I read through it, and no errors stood out to me >_>, I still can't see why deleting a chain of entities and stuff could cause this error =.

Well here it is, sorry if it's in incorrect format or something.

Hit Alt+P to check for errors before you compile. Maybe something is in there?
EDIT - Your compile log looks fine to me.

Now you can compile properly.. But when you go to run the map with CS, it just... craps out on you?

Hmm, checked all, all there is (is) empty func_walls, fixed those and some unused values. But it never affected CS earlier before I deleted the mines. Im guessing it wouldn't now -_+
Edit: yeap, it just closes, I asked a friend to try opening it, still same thing x_X

Did you try a restart?
Or... copy+paste everything in your map into a new one and compile the new map like that. (works sometimes with odd problems.. couldn't hurt to try)

There's no leak, so says the compile log. There's no other errors that you're receiving.

Did you make suer all the entities you wanted to get rid of are actually gone?
Go to Map >> Entity report, and sort through those. Check them out see if anything is conflicting with another entity.

CS needs info_player_starts and info_player_deathmatch entities. Make sure those are in there.. looks like an escape map from the compile log. So you're going to need the escape area (not familiar with making es maps but i think its almost the same as a hostage rescue map)

I'm trying to think of everything that could've gone wrong, but this has me stumped for now.

Copy and pasting? That might be crazy enough to work 8D.
Well, i haven't restarted, might try later, but having the error on my friend's comp proves it to be futile~
I added all enities necesary, it's playable in a sense, and I check all enitities in enitity report, none of them conflict, as they all worked earlier on before the prob. And i check for any entities i forgot to delete, but none of them are there.
I guess copy and pasting will work the best ~_~. Wish me luck =P

Good luck.
As a last resort... post it to the problem vault. I have a party to attend so i'll have a look-see back in a few hours. Good luck.

Thanks again Testu0 XD.
And o yes, the problem might be because of an invalid texture, i ran an older version with the old mines, and an error occured, CS closed yet again. Im guessing its because of textures. But the error message "invalid texutre" didn't come =P, well, any reason why to that
?_?

If it is an invalid texture, the check for problems thing should get it.
Unless the wads arent in the CS folder, and its just not telling you

when you compile, go to expert mode (check the tab) and in the $csg part put in

"-wadinclude wadname"

where wadname is the name of the wad you're using and leave out the quotes.
Do this for all your wads, and the compiler will include all the textures used from the wads (not the entire wad).

If it's a texture error, that might solve it.
Are you using any custom textures? Did you try to validate the game cache on steam?
RE-install CS? (shouuldnt have to if other maps work)

are you using the right .fgd?

Yeap, I check and tried replacing most textures ~_~
I think i'm using the right fgd, I should have =.
Sigh looks like i'm gonna be working from quite an old version...
Well,looks like the map vault is last resort....>__>, now how do I place an rmf file in a ZIP file...

just go to the folder where your maps are stored. (usually the Valve Hammer editor >> maps folder) right click the rmf, then hit send to compressed (zipped) folder.
