Cannot Compile... Created 18 years ago2006-04-22 18:23:36 UTC by JohnRMat2@

I was testing to see if I had the setting right in hammer( or Worldcraft)which I am possitive are set right, I downloaded zhlt. Thinking everything is going nice. I made a simple map. I compile and it doesn't. It gets an error:

So I look all over the forums to find something out about my problem and find nothing... Please help, and sorry if i over looked something in the forum.

I searched "acess denied" and got about 20 hits, all with your problem, and they all have the same answer.

unless you didnt notice

* Windows gave the error message:
"Access is denied."

in your compile log...

From what I looked there is no clear answer. They say its your settings, but I know mine are fine. One thread said it was the version of hammer and zhlt your using. I am using hammer 3.4 and zhlt 3.4 betaa 32 bit is there a newer version of either of these??? oh and whats the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit zhlt.

but I know mine are fine.

How can you be so sure that your settings are fine even if you don't know whats causing the error?

Post your compile log.

but I know mine are fine.

'Heard that before

The only other things I know to cause this error:

Some have claimed that switching to the new compile tools, or back to the old ones--I forget--will cause/fix this error, which is probably caused by extracting Zoner's to a different directory than the originals.

The second is if you change any portion of your directory structure where your compile tools live.

Both of these though are again more or less another way to sayyour configuration is fucked up

"Access is denied" is what Windows says when it can't find something, in these contexts.

Ok you thinks its a bad settings problem so here are some pic of my settings and where my folders are...

You should have filled in the mod directory. In this instance, it's blahvalve, same as the game dir.

What would my Mod Directory be? I would think it is the half-lifevalve. Its not like NS or CS where i could put half-lifens or half-lifecstirke.

This would be my NS settings...

Sorry for the last post I typed it wrong....Here are the NS Settings

The Edit button is there for a reason, dude.

Those settings look fine to me.

You know what I tried swiching the ZHLT with the Quake Tools and it compiled fine....

Don't use the Q-tools. Make ZHLT work.

yeah, I got new Zhlts 2.5.3 and it worked. I do not know why the 3.4 version does not work but I am happy. Heres a link to download v2.5.3 if you are searching the forums for this problem, hope it helps, it helpped me
