HLBSP error, not in Tommy's Created 20 years ago2004-07-28 04:58:40 UTC by leong2

Error: Can't open c:documents and settingsjackdesktopmappingzoners compilation toolscart2.p0

i've never seen this before, and i couldn't find it on tommy's, so perhaps someone here can tell me what it is and how to fix it.
Note: no leaks, no other problems, just this.

You have spaces in your directory's name.
Better remove them.
This error means that there was a problem with compiling before.

Whoa hang on. Spaces in the directory? That shouldn't do anything. It's only for naming maps that you should have no spaces!

the 'Can't load .p0' means there was an error in a previous compile stage, either CSG or BSP. Check the log for errors and check in Hammer for errors as well.

No, it still makes a difference.

This isn't under HLBSP. Probably a bad brush. Alt+P in Hammer, and check the log more thorughly

hmmm... it seems to be caused by a truck i made.
if i remove that truck, everything is fine, but if i leave it in, it gives the error.
I've checked ALT+P, but nothing comes up...

I think CSG is not doing its job.

This is the CSG part of the log with the truck.

--- END hlcsg ---[/quote]

as you can see, the first log doesn't finish the "CreateBrush" part, and doesn't even start the other two...

You're not just being impatient?

Is the truck a prefab?

No im not just being impatient. The CSG part just stops, and without giving "-----END hlcsg-----" and then tries to start hlbsp.
And no it isn't a prefab, I took several good looks with BSPviewer and rebuild it as good as possible.

-> Problem Maps?

It's in problem maps, called "truck problem"

I think I just have too many brushes though.... if I put in the truck and delete a couple of brushes or paste the truck into a new map, CSG compiles fine...

i've taken it off the problem maps, since it seems to compile fine if i remove some "excess" brushes...
