Total n00b: Compiling Question Created 20 years ago2004-11-09 09:13:57 UTC by warmage_magus

Hi, I just started mapping yesterday, and breezed through the first beginner tutorial with Hammer with the Source SDK version of Hammer.

One problem, the very last step. How do I freakin' compile? I've got a hollow box with an info_player_start and light entity. I just wanna run the map now, lol.

This is what my Run Map options look like (both taken off of Valve-erc's tutorial):I then press "Go" and get the following Error:

Unable to find gameinfo.txt relative to 'practice'. Solutions:

1. Set environment variable 'VPROJECT' to the path where gameinfo.txt is.
2. Place 'practice' below the path where gameinfo.txt is.
3. Add -game <path> on the command line where <path> is the directory that gameinfo.txt is in.

• Windows gave the error message:

"Access is denied."

Can someone help me out? Will Zoners and HLCC work with the new .vmf files? Do I need to export it any certain way?

Let me know. Any help. Any.

Zoner's won't compile Hammer 4 maps.

The problem here is that you need to move the gameinfo.txt file from the sourcesdkcstrike_sample_content folder, to your counter-strike sourcecstrike folder.
