Another ERROR (that I can't fix) Created 19 years ago2005-04-27 11:31:18 UTC by HeAdCrAb KILLA

I recently ran into another error when I went to compile one of my maps in Hammer. When I go to compile, the (Windows) error "access denied" pops up...WTF!!! It's trying to copy my map into the specified directory but it can't. The exact error is below:

** Executing...

This is the ERROR that appears when I go to compile. I already reinstalled and reconfigured Hammer (3.4) but it still pops up. NEED help!!!

Perculiar setup there. Have you tried uninstalling Hammer entirely? Alternatively, if you're compiling in Hammer, as I believe you are, use Expert instead of Normal, or vice-versa. Of course, you could compile externally instead, which is better anyway (see the Compiling Introduced tutorial for details).

I've reinstalled Hammer COMPLETELY and then reconfigured. Right now I am trying to work with a Batch Compiler and files. I'm afraid that I'm not having any luck on figuring this out either though. - HeAdCrAb KILLA

Do you mean any luck figuring out the Batch Compiler Setup?

Try using the "Compilation Controller V1.4" From snarkpit.com (can be found under Half-life Utilities)
Included at the website is also a downloadable tutorial for setup.
