I appologize if this exact topic has already come-up before.
I'm new to mapping for Half-Life and related mods. I've gone though setting up Valve Hammer Editor 3.4 (because I don't normally trust betas). I've also downloaded Zones compile tools. I've gone through your excellent site and worked around the tutorials, but the same problem comes up everytime I try to compile, or open a (supposedly) saved file.
I have congifured everything properly (for CS 1.6), of that I feel sure.

When I attempt to compile a map, such as the example map from Andy's guide, I get this compile error:
"The command failed. Windows reported the error: 'The system cannot find the file specified.' Do you want to continue?"

My compile (CSG, BSP, VIS, RAD) is set to all "Normal," and nothing more.
_________________________Problem 2: Opening a Saved File
My second problem is if I close the map I'm working on, and then try "open" that exact same map again, I get this error:
"For your information, 1702130524 solids were not loaded due to errors in the file."
After I click "ok," a load bar begins, and Hammer crashes moments later.
_______________________________I applogoize if this seems like a lot of issues, but I'd really like to get into mapping for CS and this community seems very friendly and helpful. I just hope someone can assist me with these errors so I can start building my own frag-worlds for the CS community.
