hlbsp.exe won't run Created 18 years ago2005-12-01 14:25:56 UTC by Bongoboy1978

When I go to compile my map, it get's to hull 3 and a window pops up and says that it cannot run hlbsp.exe with an option to send the error report. But, i can compile other maps. So I'm guessing that the problem is somewhere in my map. What could have caused this error?

dude, ya gotta be more specific or post your compile log. It could be many, many things. This is beyond vague. You can't ask a doctor for help if you don't tell him where it hurts.

Be more specific and provide screenshots, documentation of some sort.

You can't compile maps without entities. Alternatively, you might have a leak. Post the log.

then a window pops up saying an error occurred

Maybe HLrad is corrupted?

I don't know. but do an alt+P to see if there are any problems with your map before compile

i did an alt+p, fixed all the problems, and it still doesnt work

Is this the latest ZHLT build?

yes it is

maybe it was just a corrupt file when you dl'ed. redl zhlt from verc

I used 3.3 for a while and downgraded back to 2.53. For no reason my compile would fail and I'm psychotically anal about my vertices and tight brushwork.

What I usually did was just copy my map, paste it as a new file in the same location, so I didnt have to realign all my textures.... that usually solved it for some odd reason. Worth a try anyhow, only will take a minute or so to do. I swear VHE corrupts brushes all on its own sometimes.
