Help!!!!! Prefab error Created 19 years ago2005-10-17 03:43:36 UTC by trickedbullet

I am new to map design and may just be overreacting, but... I dont know what to do!!!!!!
I followed all instructions in the beginner section having to do with prefabs. I placed the prefabs and loaded it up. The prefabs were gone! I looked at the compile log to see the error and this is what I see partway down:

qcsg.exe v2.8 (Jan 31 2000)
-- qcsg --
entering C:SIERRAHalf-Lifevalvemapsmyfirstmap.map

********** ERROR **********
missing '[ in texturedef

** Executing...
** Command: C:PROGRA~1VALVEH~1toolsqbsp2.exe
** Parameters: "C:SIERRAHalf-Lifevalvemapsmyfirstmap"

I downloaded the example map and it loaded up just fine. All the prefabs where there. There were no errors. Is this something to worry about or can I fix it some how? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

Sincerely,

Calm down, it is actualy very simple.

You are missing a texture, probably on a prefab. You should check if you have all of the required wads loaded that came with the prefab, there might be a hint about it in a text file if it came with the prefab.

Or does some of the custom wads have strange characters in them, or spaces?

OMG QUAKE COMPILE TOOLS!!!...
Use zhlt. Their download link is even on the front page...

Definitely do.

I have no idea what was wrong. I just deleted all the prefabs and reinserted them. Then it worked just fine. This supports my theory that my computer is generally out to kill me or purposely drive me insane.

I thank you for responding to my question.

All hail the mighty game gods/goddesses. If game geeks didnt exist, I would be screwed!

Well as the above stated, download ZLHT compile tools...
Now try again...
