Here is a easy one for you guys (i hope) Created 20 years ago2004-08-24 23:05:55 UTC by RIFT

I have been mapping for some time in Radiant, and am trying to get the Hang of Hammer, for the upcomming HL2.

When I went to compile my very simple starte map i got a (condensed version of errors) 'can not find test.prt' (test is the map name), and 'no vising'.

I know its probly something real easy, can anyone help me out?

hmm,, well i dont use radiant,
but if your compiling in hammer, get zoners compile tools (ZHLT)
look for them in the links section

read this tutorial to configure hammer correctly. it should work after you do everything here:

http://www.cariad.co.za/twhl/tutorial.php?id=47

make sure to download zhlt, and use it in the "Build Programs" tab.

get zhlt here:

Yes, I did that tut for the Hammer config, checked it, then checked it again. Believe me, I would not ask here untill I had done everything twice. I try to be very thorough. = )

"cannot find pts file"
xxxx.pt# and xxxx.pts are files made in compiling by the compiling tools. Usually when you get "can't find .pts" it means something went wrong with compile. It could be a bad setup you made for the compile, or you're Running WC/hammer thru normal instead of expert, or having "too many wads", or corrupted compiling tools (rare but happens), a bad path/name somewhere, or several others. The solution is generally to use a front end or batch file with zoner's compile tools, then the problem usually goes away or the compiling error becomes clear.

Thanks guys, ill download zhlt the second I get home from work
