trenchbroom asking for a non-existant .p0 file when compiling...? Created 2 months ago2024-06-28 04:46:38 UTC by maxtimes3

When I go to compile a map, it just hits me with a "hlbsp: Error: Can't open D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Half-Life\valve\maps\plisskens_bedroom.p0" in the .err file, no idea what I'm doing wrong, can anyone help?

The full log:

Anything here look funky to you guys? Keep in mind I'm new to mapping/modding as a whole so it's likely I forgot something somewhere...

The problem is that you're missing the CSG compiler at the start of the compilation process, you're only running BSP, VIS and RAD.

It should have been CSG -> BSP -> VIS -> RAD.

Weird, because I did set up CSG as a run tool in the compiler
maybe I just messed up the directory or something?

I haven't tried TB yet, but I suspect that the CSG lacking a checkmark to the left of it, unlike the BSP just below it, in that screenshot might tell us that CSG is disabled.

Oh whoops!
Yeah that seems to have solved my problem, I'm getting hit with a different error so I'll see if I can troubleshoot those
Thanks a bunch for pointing that out!

No problem! It's easy to miss things, sometimes all you need is another pair of eyes to take a look 🙂
