No you just don't have a bsp--- Try copying and pasting into a new map and compile it-(with "Do not run Game" NOT checked")Then Save it as a knew name.. If that doesn't work well I don't know what to tell ya--- Anybhody else have ideas??

^
I also take it your running it through half-life---With that error message sounds familiar.

nope didnt work, i copyed it over into a new file and compiled it but it came up with the same message, its jus not creating the .bsp file when it compiles. could this be because of a leak? :

Nah, leaks make the map full bright, but it will still compile.

this is gettin very confusing, the reason it cant run is because it wont make a bsp file. at what point is the bsp file created does anyone know. and why isnt it being created. this is really annoying :

thanks

Maybe it creates it, but to a wrong directory. Copy the compile log (That text in the gray box) here.

this is th log

Missing '[' in texturedef (U)

well thats the problem but what do i do abaout it

the help says this:

The 'missing [ in texturedef' message can be caused several ways:

One or more faces has no texture, or the texturename is just made up of spaces. Check for problems in WC 3.3 should detect them as 'invalid texture' messages.
The texture name on one or more faces has a space in the middle of the name somehow (Textures are not allowed to have spaces in their names)
You are using Worldcraft 2.0 or 2.1, and the worldspawn has a key/value of "mapversion" "220" If so, remove it.
A Worldcraft 3.3 map was imported into WC 2.1 or 2.2, same problem as above.
A Worldcraft 3.3 map was imported into Quark, also the same problem
The map is in Worldcraft 3.3's .map format, but the "mapversion" "220" is MISSING from the worldspawn (this is really rare).

BUT WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN (ive been doin this for 2days now )
