2.8mb... thats really big for a map file, they usally never go above 1mb.
Apart that it has a .max file, .res and .wad file can you tell me anything about the map it self.
Post the whole compile log with ZHLT, I will help more then any description.

First thing get ZHLT(located in this sites link page), not only because they work better, most of the ones who can help you use them and hence are fimiliar to the error messages in them and not to the ones in Quake's tools.
I'll now check the reasons for this problem.
Edit:
Please describ the map, how large it is, how many rooms it has...ect

********** ERROR **********Weird error, never encountered it before... maybe because it's called diffrently in ZHLT.
numbrushsides == MAX_MAP_SIDES

If you are running in normal compiling mode then I think there is a check box that enables/disables this option. In expert mode you need to untick the last command that should be- $game_exe +map $file -dev -console
But then I'll need to place them in the same directory as in my computer! I'll try without them first, I think it will work.

I pity your wife sometimes satchmo... if she doesn't like computers.
Thats right, jaardsi.
And it's not monochromatic, I was just lazy.Ok I found it... this time for sure. Ant, you could at list draw a few floor tiles and walls... I thought it was a flight simulation.

Oh shit... doble post!

Spag, I didn't see that post when I wrote mine. Hence the 'never mind...'
Oh... coding.
Thats Mortal Kombat 2, Dorian, I still have it but rearly play it.
P.S: I spelled it like I'm sepposed to. It's written like that in the original game, they even write 'kredits' instead of 'credits'.

Fortress forever? What a silly name! 
Ok, I knew about all these... but I never knew why that stupid slave stayed if I pulled the cart backward... anyway it's not intresting at all, at list if they were a bit more helpfull and hard to find out.
Can we make a compo about complex doors/trains? I'm just making a door thats made out of 48 small doors... it can be cut down by half but then it wont be so smooth.
What about monster_furniture? I think they are ok.
No M_gragunta it doesn't work. I tried that along time ago, before I knew about Tracktrains and I faild. Then Unbreakable told me about tracktrain and it worked perfectly.
Only in spirit it's possible. (again very handy)

If there is need for the wads you'll also need hammer, since the compiler knows the location of the wads through hammer.
Since the Batch compiler and hammer has no connection what so ever you don't need the wads. There isn't any place to list the used wads in nem's batch compiler, I think the wads in the texture list are already listed in the .map file. I think that everything the compiler needs is already listed in the map file.
To play the map you'll need the stuff.

Great! So I just need Nem's batch compiler and ZHLT, like what I thought. Thanks Alex.
My computer seems to get worse latly. It sometimes even has problems compiling a cubic room with reflections through hammer.
However my brother has a very good and new computer.
I would like to know if I can use Nem's batch compiler on his computer without installing Hl1. I don't want to test the maps on his computer so thats not a problem.
If it's possible then what are the minimum requirement that a computer must have in order to just compile a map. Does it need the wad files(drop the wadincluded ones) and sound/models/sprites...ect
Or will it write the bsp(textures,brushes,lighting...ect) and it will work normally on a computer with all the needed stuff on it?
If you are not sure please do not say no unhesitently, I don't want to drop the idea if it might work because someone said it without knowing.

I'll do it. Since it's my idea. I'll also add nice round doors to the example. It wont take long, I already made the prefab! 
Maybe you can use a trigger_push that will push you upward. This way you wont fall. It will be like a floor but instead of walking on it you'll float in a bizzar way. No need for a really strong strength of push, but make sure it's strong enough to lift you.
Forgive the pun but rowleybob, you are a complete idiot.

I wont fill this thread with another one of these kind of posts.

Well mine is even worse then n00b rowleybob. 128mb of ram, 733Mhz, pentium 3 proccesor and windows XP. Lately it has problems running hammer 3.5 and opera together. Hammer runs at ~3.5 Fps.(quite a strange couincidence, Hammer 3.5 runs at 3.5 Fps)
You get the point, when making maps don't think you have the worst computer. There is always someone with a worse one and you don't want to be unable to play your maps. You can have higher r_speeds in SP but it's better not too. In action parts higher R_speeds spell death.

I've played SP maps with the wpolys +2000 and beyond, and I don't recall my FPS ever going below 72--and that's with a shitty-ass mobile video card.Rowleybob, not everybody got such a good computer. My computer usally runs Hl1 in ~50 Fps and thats in levels with about 500 wpolies. However in levels with 1000 wpolies it runs in a speed of ~40 Fps. I'm not sure a 5000 poly map.
As for your graphics card: at list it can run Hl1 in OpenGL mode.
I paid alot of money for it and my screen, it's quite new.
When making maps never think you have the worst computer, there is always somebody with an older scrap pile, why deprive him from the privilige of playing your map.
In maps that you only need to look at some fancy archtitecture you can go up to ~4000. It will barely run on some computers, but you don't need high fps to admire archtitecture. In maps with action try to keep the wpolies count at approximitly 1000.
Didn't you post a thread about this yesterday?
Keep the R_speeds at a maximum of ~1500-2000... it wont be fair if it will be higher for those who don't have new computers.
I agree with orpheus, a map should still be intresting with 'only' 1000 wpolies, who that can't achive such a goal isn't such a good mapper. The thing that usally raises the Wpolies so much is lots of detail and open spaces. If you think of your layout alot and don't over use detail your map wont even come close to 2000. My maps are usally around 800 wpolies.

Err... you mean like the compotition they had on snarkpit? I want something new. Hence I don't like the detailed room/corridor. Unless if the corridor/room's outlay is already made. I can make the base map, this time it will be a really basic one, and I mean it. This way you'll have lots of freedom with it.
Sorry rowleybob. I'm too busy mapping for dark truths... and I'm really important for the succsess of the mod, it has very few mappers.
Oh, please, just make another thread. This isn't official so we can have as many minicompos as we like at the same time.
If this will turn into a Hl2 compo the Hl1 mappers will have nothing to do again.

Nope, since it's not being rendered. It only counts as a clipnode.
What a horrible drawing!

$.50 cents doesn't make sense. 50 cents or $.5, make up your mind.Oh just stop it, thats just too stupid. Nobody had any problems understanding it, nobody will have so it was a totaly usless post. It wont help him, you just did it in order to correct him. It only makes you look stupider and nothing else.
I have 3 and I'm waiting for someone to agree. I want coal oil silver and gems. This way I'll have quite alot of improvments. If I can't get gems/silver I'll get cattle and something else.
Already did it, I have 15 miles of land and 30.76 infracture! Now I need some tech, I only have 0.56 of it...
Now I need some tech, I only have 0.56 of it...How do you make your people so happy? My people's happiness is only 12.70, thanks to technolgy. My economy is getting better. It's not 59$ and I still have that annoying event that reduces 5$ from the income. Without it I'll have a much better economy... 64$.
Dorian, if you want to keep your enviorment clean keep the infaucture 2 times bigger then your land, not higher.
By the way he is using software mode. Look at the lava's edges.
Rowleybob you don't need to reply to all his posts. He said that because he regurally get bashed by you. Just ignore the prologue if you don't like it.
Oil and silver! I need those two resources, I have fish and aluminium.
In my event I missread and chose -$5 income instead of 10% land size... this sucks... it's a big hit on my economey since I'm a new nation.
I think I should spend some money on tech... I already have 30 infucture and I only get 3.5k per day. Well, I saved some money so tommorow I'll buy some tech.
No, let me think of one!
In spirit you can tick the 'looped' flag. When you trigger it again it stops. Handy isn't it? 
Logic_timer?? Thats not source! Just trigger it with a multimanager and after a short time make the multimanager trigger it self. To make it stop just kill(killtarget value) the multimanager.
You'll never enter a compo with that attitude. Just post a city, doesn't matter if you like it or not. I did the same once and I won.
To make it unbreakable you need to tie it to a func_wall not a func_breakable. If it's a costum texture and you want the glass to produce the same sounds as a normal glass you'll need to edit the material.txt... check the tutorial.

Oh... I really don't know a thing about CS entitywork... why not decompile those maps you mentioned and check how they did it.
