need mapping help.(my first map) Created 14 years ago2009-07-29 13:08:42 UTC by urban_ninja

my map is a co-op map for tfc. but atm i need help compileing it. i have a massive number of errors that are texture related but idk what the fault is exactly. as far as i can tell there is no leaks. can some body look at the files and tell me what i did wrong? is it bad wad files? using too many wad files for 1 map? because some wad files are on my C drive and some on D?

Post your compile log and someone should be able to help you.

This may be harmless, and if no strange side effects are occurring, then
it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange
or obscure errors, consider this as suspect.

You might want to look into that.

im tring to figure that out. but if i uses those textures in the the map how come it could not find it? idk hammer editor can find the textures but the compiler dont. to me its a puzzling matter. its why i came here for help. its realy my first compile attempt so im realy not born knowing something i have no experience in.

How about putting a "C:" in front of the filename....

Warning: Wad file '\program files\steam\steamapps\ninjaz65\team fortress classic\tfc\beyonddarkness.wad' not found

maybe
C:\program files\steam\steamapps\ninjaz65\team fortress classic\tfc\beyonddarkness.wad
Will work

Oh.... and get rid of the extra 12 textures you have in your map.. The max is 8, or else problems start to occur.

^ correction: get rid of the extra 12 wads

I meant that....
On a lighter note... LMAO at mooncheese.wad
XD

This happens if you have your WAD files on a different hard drive/partition as your compile tools. If they're on the same drive, I don't know what's going on. But yeah, you also have too many WAD files listed.

Word up about what tetsu0 and pengy said, that is a rediculous amount of wads! Use Wally to edit your wads and take the textures you need into a single wad. (you could also use wadmerge, and combine every wad you have, include that in hammer, and then use the -wadinclude option: which will imbed ONLY the textures you've actually used in the map, if i'm not mistaken.)

Also look into the errors you get on tommy14's page, as he describes the causes and fixes for almost every conceivable error for half-life 1 mapping!

Finally, all these things are easier to manage using Atom's Compilator, and the latest zhlt(which i see you already have).
