You forgot to tell us what that new problem is. Your compile log looks fine to me, though.
Posted 17 years ago2007-07-15 08:16:50 UTC Post #228970
The problem is that there is a problem which doesnt say whats the problem.

(svencoop keeps on shutting down when i try to go in my map and gives no errors)

i uploaded a bsp of my map to filefront.

here it is: http://files.filefront.com//;8059012;;/

PLZ HELP!

How exactly do you expect people to help you by submitting a BSP file which gives an unknown error? Do you think that someone else's computer will magically give a useful error message?
The map file would probably be more useful, as well as giving a detailed description of what changes you made to the map since it last compiled properly. That is, if you compile often...

I get this error.

  • Warning: Larger than expected texture (243232 bytes): '+AHS_PROJECTED1'

It's the kind of thing that can make the game crash.
