hl2 wont load my new updated map Created 18 years ago2006-03-24 21:24:05 UTC by the Arcan

i edit my map, compile and run it in hl2 dm. however it seems to be stuck the way it was 2 days ago! all changes i make are saved in hammer and the file also gets biiger/smaller with my changes but Hl2 dm wont load my new map :.

Thats happened to me when I had a leak, or there was some weird input output value. An example: I had too many children for a move rope, and after deleting the move ropes I added prior to the failed map load, it loaded properly. Maybe you have a similar problem? Add anything weird similar to what I had?

i dont have any move ropes, but perhaps it might bean output/input thingy. il check for leaks aswell

Try to look for some input/ outputs that refer to a missing target, maybe you deleted something, Stuff along those lines. Hope you find the problem

Or maybe you just opened an old map
Check the directory and make sure your not mapping in HL2 or CS:S instead of DM etc...

no, i only map for dm atm, and the thing is i save my maps to an external folder, than transfer them to the hl2dm maps folder. so i deleted the version in the maps folder then put in my new one but it still showed the old one '-(

Strange. You're sure you didn't put the new stuff into a visibility group and had it hidden while compiling?

well the thing is i also changed some textures and they didnt chagne either. i also cropped a couple of things :/

good news i found the problem.

apparently you cant use the displacement tool on func_buttons without getting an error that will stop the compiler from saving all the other changes.

you can now close this topic, thx

You can't put dismaps into entities, indeed. It's documented bytheway.

musta missed that part, but i wouldnt have expected the problem to be so big
