Hey I'm new to these forums and mapping as well. I tried all the tuts + help here and it still can't help the problem I've come across while compiling. It says "Could not find filesystem dll to load." I took the compiling things and couldn't find out how to fix it. Help please?

Don't have Hammer run the game, do it manually.

Ohh, (btw I am running XP) and having it not run the game worked. Thanks.

Gah, new error as i try to run the map in steam, is says cannot open specialists.wad? No idea, help plz, haha im so pathetic.

So put -nowadtextures into the CSG part in options? Like replace what I already have with-nowadtextures?

Um, wait, I put C:HLCSG -nowadtextures mymap into the CSG in the options and the error still comes up

That's a bad idea anyway really.

In your Hammer options (Tools -> Options), remove "specialists.wad" from the Texture tab list.

if the wad is small you can type -wadinclude Name_of_the_wad in the csg options when you press f9

Yeah he is right you didn't wadinclude them! And next time read the tutorials!

Lol, sorry to bring up a really old topic but I am having the same problem and didn't want to make a new thread. How do you make it so Hammer don't run the game when it finishes compiling the map?

How is this related to the other 1 year old topic?

Anyway, if you don't want it to launch the game after the compile, there's a button you can uncheck if you're in the normal compile mode. If you're in advanced mode, you uncheck the last item on the list (something like run exe, I think).

If you are running in normal compiling mode then I think there is a check box that enables/disables this option. In expert mode you need to untick the last command that should be- $game_exe +map $file -dev -console

Ah, yes. Much better description.

I was having the same error the guy who made this post was.

I found the box and checked it. Now when I compile I get these errors.

First thing get ZHLT(located in this sites link page), not only because they work better, most of the ones who can help you use them and hence are fimiliar to the error messages in them and not to the ones in Quake's tools.

I'll now check the reasons for this problem.

Edit:

********** ERROR **********
numbrushsides == MAX_MAP_SIDES

Weird error, never encountered it before... maybe because it's called diffrently in ZHLT.

Please describ the map, how large it is, how many rooms it has...ect

It's mecklenburg_final by rickler. The .map file is 2.8mb. It's a fairly big map. It also has .maxx, .res. and a .wad file in it which I have no clue as to what to do with them.

I just dled ZHLT. And gonna set it up and see what happens.

2.8mb... thats really big for a map file, they usally never go above 1mb.

Apart that it has a .max file, .res and .wad file can you tell me anything about the map it self.

Post the whole compile log with ZHLT, I will help more then any description.

Ok, I changed the all the gsg executables and such and configuring the .wad file now. I'll try to compile again and see what happens.

Got an error log this time. Here's what is says...

All those missing textures are from the Hl1 wad!

[quote]Error: Exceeded MAX_MAP_MIPTEX

• Warning: Larger than expected texture (218412 bytes): 'GP_MENU'[/quote]

I'll check those two right away, I encountered them once or twice.

Edit:
Max_miptex means you have exeeded the maximum memory provided for texture. It is by deafult 4096 KB, but can be increased by adding a '-texdata #' (# stands for how many Kbs you want the maximum to be)
to the csg command line.(in expert mode) By increasing the texture memory you'll unable all players who run Hl1/CS in software mode or with old video card to play in your map.
I advice you to remove all the unused wads and textures from the map. Also the other error might be the cause for this one, I'll check it right away.

Edit #2:
The other error means that the texture listed in it is larger then 256x256. This will usally wont hurt the compile but will unable the players with old video cards to play your map. Having many textures like this one increases the memory the textures take, maybe this huge texture takes too much space and hence it causes the other error.

If you really need that texture then increase the max texture memory. If it can be replaced with little affect on the map then remove it.

Edit #3:

About the missing textures, are you sure you have the halflife.wad included in the texture list?

Ok, I added specialists.wad and some other wads and added the '-texdata' to the command line with a valee of 25000 and I get this...

The command failed. Windows reported the error:

I don't have a HL1.wad file

That access denied error... grrr... it can be caused by thousands of reasons! It once happened to me latly when the computer ran out of virtual memory during the CSG.

25000kb... seems quite high, try 8192 KB(8mb) for a start... wait, in hammer go to map menu-> map information and check how much texture data is used then raise the max a bit above it. If it's 6mb try 8mb max, don't want to take no chances.

Texture Data: 18091776 (17.67MB)...?

Oh my god! Thats the highst texture data used in a map I've ever seen. And I've seen really highly detailed, large and filled with costum textures map.
I never encountered such a case, but don't you think you can somehow reduce the amount of textures used in the map?

If not then try to increase the texture data to 1900000mb... I'm nearly positive it wont work so you should try to remove as many textures as possible and replacing them with others without hurting the map too badly.

Here is a little quote from a very helpfull site:

The limits for -texdate can go as high as the mem of the video cards you expect to encounter. For older Voodoo 2 cards it goes up to 8 meg (8192 KB) or 12 meg. If you KNOW your level is only going to be used on a local LAN where everyone has 64M vid cards, then you can set the -texdata to 64000 KB! But for public distribution you will already lose software mode players above -texdata 4096, and old vid card players above -textdata 8192. The higher you go above that, the less folks can play it!

I'm starting to doubt this map is even playible in any computer... but you should wait for other people's replies.

Still getting errors after I made it 19000, 190000, 1900000.

I would take out some stuff if I know how...

EDIT: Oh it's playable, quite a few servers have it up and running.

Then you should wait for someone else to reply, I'm fully exausted. Maybe you should upload the map to this site and let someone check it out, or link to the site where you found it. Then we'll know exectly what kind of map you are talking about.

There's the link to download the source file.

Thanks for your help.

Holy crap, that's got to be one of the most detailed cities I've ever seen in the HL1 engine. It's huge too, taking up nearly the whole space. Unfortunately, it would be unplayable. WAY too big.

No it's playable. There are alot of maps just as big as that too.

But they're nowhere near as wide open. How many w_polys does this thing have? And how do you even know if it's playable if it won't compile?

Don't know about the polygons but I know it's playable because other servers run it.

Oh, I hadn't read through the whole thread properly. I just realized that it's not you that made (most of?) the map. So there is a playable version out.

why are you trying to compile someone else's map?

So I can put on my server.

Use the BSP they provide...

No need to recompile it, the bsp they provided is ready for playing and can run on your server.

I tried it and it didn't work. I was told I would need to compile it because the other is more of a client side version or something.
