i dont think the error is here.....please help i dont knwo whats wrong

Nah doesn't matter if you run VIS and RAD or not (in this case).

You're using the wrong compile tools.

(Either that or you're mapping for HL1 and just posted this in the wrong forum)

If you look at the directories, you can tell he's got the game set up for Counter-Strike: Source, yet he's trying to use ZHLT to compile.

Yup.

Err... yeah, my point was just that he wasn't in the wrong forum.

Yeah I realised when I read the log properly. I just skimmed it first time and had a guess --- which meant I needed an 'out' in case I was wrong.

I guess I should just be more confident

so i should not use the hlxxx tools for compiling for CS? : will that fix the BSP problem?

For source games, you need to use the source compile tools. Which come with the latest version of Hammer (v4)

ok so i use the qrad, vis, qbsp, qcsg for CS maps to fix my problem with the BSP?

Personally I use vbsp.exe, vvis.exe, and vrad.exe.

They are the default compile tools for Hammer v4.

You are using Hammer 4, right?

i have hammer 3.4... do you mean hammer 4 beta? where can i download 4 please....and sorry for the inconvieneces im a bit noob but hey isnt that what these forums are for

ok 5 minutes after last post.....ok sorry i got hammer 4 now i will redo everythign and see if it works...thanks for all the help guys

ahem so where did you get Hammer 4 from then?

ok so pardon my stupidity sorry guys everythign is working fine now and thank you very much for all the assistance and happy trails
