OK little more info.. The map works fine in CS condition Zero.
There is something funny with the steam installer.. A friend of mine had exactly the same problem.. I blame XP. I had the Steam install with the CS cache file so we installed that and it worked fine.
Ok it's been a long time since my last map and i made it using the old 1.4 CS not steam.
I've installed hammer 3.4 (not 3.5)
Got the 1.6 FGD and the HL compile tools for windows.
I've made a simple test map.. 1 box (hollowed)
1 light 1 ct spawn and t spawn. The entity files working fine in Hammer
The map compiles with no errors..
here's the extra stuff for steam in hammer. -applaunch 10 -game cstrike -dev +map $file.bsp
Hammer seems to work fine.. CS is setup for GL (i tried running it in a window too)
and tried running it without Hammer running
ok CS loads up and as soon as it attempts to run the map it crashes/closes.
I don't know for sure if it crashes because I don't get any error messages but it sure don't load the map.
I've also got CZ, DOD, dedicated server, NS, HL,HLR, And the Specialst installed and steam game list show them fine. I haven't made any maps for these but don't really want to.
Theres loads of free space on all my drives so it's nothing to do with that.
How can I find out why HL crashes on trying to load a map i've made.
if I type map de_dust it does the same.
