Texture Error In Compilation Created 18 years ago2006-06-20 16:28:11 UTC by Neil Harkness

Hey, I used to be able to compile my map a while ago but I've added alot of stuff since then, and it said error for face 8. Its done it on another texture that was a fridge so I deleted them from the map and now it says another one. Its under hlrad. I'm using ZHLT. I am using the -ambient setting on it because its a really dark remake of a map called mecklenburg and I do not know how to light it like Rickler did.

The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"Invalid argument"

I'm not sure what's causing this, but check your Hammer Game Configurations/Build Programs, and your compile parameters.

Also, I would recommend reading the steam tutorial here.

Check the "ZHLTProblems.html" that came with the tools download, or Tommy14's error list for these last two.
