ah that mus be it, i didn't remember about that fence.. let me try right now

yeah i tried, it's just a bunch of random lines to me

and thanks man

Can somebody help me find the leaks.. here:

http://www.filefront.com/14467783/sG_Jailed_Final.map/

i'm REALLY horrible at finding leaks, i've checked most everywhere i could check for leaks but found none, and i can't read .pts files since i don't know how to...

there also might be a few other errors because i tried to compile it with a skybox around it just to see, and theres texture axis perpendicular to face. it doesn't show on my map errors for some reason so maybe can fix other stuff?

thank you

i took out most of the stripes; added a tiny bit of detail, but not a lot (as you can see in the map

i looked at every new wall and corner and i still can't seem to find a leak the compile keeps coming up with

maybe you could work your magic again if there is a leak i managed to miss?

Map files:
http://www.filefront.com/14130809/Splak_Race.zip/

thank you for all your help!

1.the trigger hurt is supposed to kill every person on the map except the one who made it to the end; so it is supposed to reach every extent of where the players can go

2.are you saying i can't use the light textures like that? i mean like i wanted flashing stripes and didn't know any other method but that.

3.i was very tired when putting all the trigger hurts, i think i'll re-do all of them sometime later (maybe there is an easier way to kill every other palyer on the map other than trigger hurt?)

I made this map (my fault it's kind of done poorly) but i can't seem to find any leaks in the map, and i don't understand .pts files that much

files if you would liek to help:
http://www.filefront.com/14118229/Splak_Race.zip/

it's pretty much done but i wanted to test it, maybe make some modifications afterward but yeah.

Help would be appreciated

um i think i'm using 3.4, where can i get 3.5?

plus i still can't see the errors with your fgd, maybe if i got 3.5 it woul work...

mine only gives me 1 error; info_texlights has unused keyvalues

so i don't see any of those other errors it doesnt come up with them

it does not come up with any of those problems

Ok, so heres the problem. I used to be able to compile this map fine, but after i took out some stuff i started to get the error "Malformed Face Normal" or something, idk what that means but i can't seem to find the problem plus the pointfiles given to me don't work for some reason. The worldcraft error catcher thing doesn't catch it either. Help would be appreciated

ah thanks zombie, that one's perfect

The halflife.fgd doesn't have a lot of the entities i'd like for this map i'm making specifically game_player_equip and player_weaponstrip

uhh if anyone has a good one i'd appreciate it ty

make sure the light entities are light_spot not just light i made that mistake too

Alright so i did that, and i can play the map manually, but i still can't play it from pressing F9, i still get that error.

Also have another problem, my game_player_equip entity doesn't equip people with things, should i make a new post or keep it in this one?

Hey guys, I've been working on a simple knife map, i finished it and everything. I can't run the map directly from Hammer, it comes up with the error :
Could not find filesystem dll to load.
I've been able to run it manually from in-game (CZ), and it's worked. Now it's stopped working and i have no idea why. Once i run the game and start new server witht hat map, it starts loading and then crashes.
Pretty sure there's no leaks in the map.
It also happened after i made the map smaller because it lagged alittle, if that helps in any way.
