How did you miss the big blob of Errors in the middle of your log??? I'm pretty sure most of you people with problems can fix them by looking at your logs.

Ask kreedz, he did it on his kz college map or something like that.

Nm. Apparently, it wasn't the sprites in the map at all. It was a sprite called 640 something something something ion my cstrike/sprites folder crashing my steam. No clue why. Thanks anyway.

I have the sprite fire in my map. I've put it in all the sprites folders to make sure I do not get an error. I followed the sprite tutorials correctly. When I run my map, it gets all the way to parsing game info blah blah blah, shows my map for a split second, then shuts down counter strike and brings me to my desktop. I receive no error message or nothing indicating what is wrong. Any help?

Ya they just took everything flipped it upside down and made the floor transparent so it looks like everything is reflecting, but your actually only seeing through the floor to everything upside down.

I
FIXED
IT
ALREADY
Thank you for your willingness to help, but I fixed it a while ago.

It works. There was nothing wrong with the spawns. I was running my map in debugging mode.

Thanks fellas.

That's the only way I run my maps.

Right, info_player_start info_player_deathmatch a good distance from each.... other not touching, walls floors, other entities, ect. No leaks, compiling went perfect. I load my map up, and instead of it ask for me to pick a team, I spawn automatically, I don't get a knife, my hud doesn't show up. I press tab and it shows I'm on the ct already. I can walk around fine. Just no knife or hud. Then, to top off this experience, I press the change team keyy, the menu comes up, I select a team, and I die. The map reloads itself, and I'm stuck in the same loop. W t f ? Help?

Carving is the devil. Use to do it back when I made tfc maps during the Golden Age aka WON. With carving you can't resize without leaks and and carving just comes with weird errors. Stay away from it, take the time to do it right, and make it look good.

I don't think the engine can do that. It have to be a weapons skin that you or someone else built. To my knowledge, gun emplacements are built from parts and entities. Therefore, you cannot tell it to eject shells. Don't quote me, maybe someone with more knowledge can help you.

I'm not at home, but from the sound of it, you don't have your game executable set to the right exe. Can someone verify?

Hammer decided to name the bsp my email adress and put it in my steamapps folder. I found it so randomly I can't even explain it. It makes sense when i look at the pathfile. Like someone said above, the @ sign fucked up the compile process, stopped reading when it hit the @ and just cut the name off at my email address. What I do is just direct the bsp to my Project folder than move it to the cs maps folder. Thanks for all your help fellas.

Can I point the bsp to something like desktop or a random folder, then move it to maps folder.

Yes double post. I know, but this is to Anonymous. Heres the line from my logs that tells me where the bsp is written to.

--- BEGIN hlbsp ---
Command line: C:PROGRA~1VALVEH~1toolshlbsp.exe "C:Program FilesSteamSteamAppsredsdawghouse@comcast.netcounter-strikecstrikemapsHP4-Riddle"

this is the actual folder where my .bsp SHOULD be. all there is is the .map, no .bsp

Way ahead of you RabidMonkey. I set up my hammer to the t according to the steam tutorials, so nice try. Anyone else any ideas?

right, suppose that would help. anyway, my bsp isn;t being created in my maps folder of cstrike. only thing there is my .map. I've searched the forums and saw many many threads that have the same problem. However, nemesis's page is being gay and I can't download a thing off of it, including batch compiler. as you can see, it says my bsp is sucessfully created in my cstrike/maps folder. but its not there. w t f.

I've searched the forums, tried to download Batch Compiler, Nemesis's page is fucked and doesn't let me download anything off of it. My bsp is successfully created along with everything else. I have Zoners tools. What am I to do? My logs...
