.prt file missing!!! Created 16 years ago2007-12-18 05:50:24 UTC by The Free Man

I don't even know what a .prt file is, but here's what ZHLT says:

Error: Portal file 'the directory of where it should be.prt' does not exist, cannot vis the map

Sooo... help would be appreciated.

check the forums before posting.

also check tomm14's site:

http://www.slackiller.com/tommy14/errors.htm

If you still can't figure it post your compile log.

Some errors cause the prt-file to not be created(like leaks), so look through the compile-log for other errors.

I already checked that site, and I've been scouring the compile log pretty well. I'll get to putting up da log.

Here it is:

This may be harmless, and if no strange side effects are occurring, then
it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange
or obscure errors, consider this as suspect.

It's only short cause I just started.

Holy god! do what the error message says! = )

I've NEVER had a problem with it before.

haha!

...?!?!

EDIT: I think I've found the source of the problem, stay tuned.

Found it! I somehow managed to set the BSP to hlcsg.exe... anyway, it's right now.
