compiling error - rad Created 18 years ago2006-04-13 13:11:34 UTC by gordonfreeman

I get this each time I try to compile. When I deleted the skybox, the number below, in bold (no samples xy), changed (increased). I got no light in the map after compiling.
here's the log:

anyone know any possible causes, solutions?

first, I suggest running vis. Light needs vis in order to work right.

it happened the same with vis, and took a damn long time. I used only fasz rad here, to decrease time and the compile log size.

Try doing a normal RAD, then.

Always VIS, yes - if it's taking a long time you either have a large map or an unoptimized one, there are tricks to reduce the compile time.

And perhaps this contributes to the problem as well:

Error loading studio model ""!

As for skyboxing, you do know it's a bad habit, right?

He came to me first and asked what was wrong with the map..I noticed it was leaked so I tell him to fix it...Then this new error came up..he has a strange displacement error also..Something tells me this map has some serious issues.

Seventh: first thing I did was that, no difference in the error.

Captain P:
about the model error thing, it was a prop_static whithout a world model name... fixed that one.
skyboxing? I didn't make a skybox for the map (this time I mean the skybox as I used to create them in HL1 when I was lazy), only tried to make a 3d skybox.

Habboi: true.
But hey you guys, I was working on one side of the map, for a few hours I think... and the next time I compiled I got some leaks at places I didn't work that day!

okay I made my last mistake. I deleted more and more damn fucking brushes to find out where my problem comes from (as there were no problems with my lights). Then when the compiling was good again I realised that I saved this all the time while I was deleting, so 90% of my days-work is gone. I'm outta mapping once and for all.

try renaming the .vmx file to .vmf and see if your map is there. (.vmx is backup)

by compiling again and again I saved the map again and again so I don't know in what state that vmx could be... I don't think that was saved the last time when I had everything done in my map.
I'll try it though thanks.
edit: and it saved nothing aswell.

You'll come back...They always do.
