compile log when i set vis to fast^^

vis still doesnt work though, their are no lighting affects in my map at all, just direct light

fix that: Unknown option "-extra"hlvis v3.0 rel 3.0 Final (Feb 3 2005)
And try to compile with hammer if you're not compiling with it (i think you're not)

oh and get the latest compile tools -> www.zhlt.info

im compiling with hammer and im pretty shure iv got the lattest tools, but ill try reinstalling the tools

still doesnt work, and i have no idea how to fix the -extra hlvis problem

can anyone help me when i download maps to reveiw them it keeps saying gameinfo.txt dosn't exist in hl2?? what should i do??

you have ZHLT 3.0 the latest ones are 3.2... If you compile with hammer there shouldn't be any -extra-ish errors.. I think you messed up something there

i went the the page with the latest tool, they should be the new ones

You haven't put "-extra", actually like that, with the quote marks, have you?

i can see the problem, you have it running vis twice, check your build program setup and change the RAD one to HLrad, seeing as you can see that is currently set to HLvis, hence it makes vis run twice

Zoner's Half-Life Compilation Tools 3.0 For Half Life 1 man don't you understand what i'm writing... i said that hter's version 3.2.1 and you tell me that you have the latest ones....
