The "too many wads" as mentioned above. 8 wads in WC/Hammer is a good limit, more may cause this error among others. If you are using more than 8 wads you can use Wally to combine the extra wads into one custom wad.
Too long a path/name for the map or compiling tools. Only a limited amount of memory is set aside for the path/names. Solution is to move the compiling tools or map into a shallow folder.
Having a space in a path/name. Examples: frequently Program Files is part of the path name. Compiling tools do not like the space between "program" and "files". Solutions are to either use the MSDOS pathname, or to move the offending files from under the spaced folder, or put quotes " " around the whole path name in WC/Hammer so that windows uses it right. If your map has the space in its name (eg. Bob map), remove the space and change it to (Bobmap).

Probably that "program files" or the long pathnames.

I posted something about using MSDOS 'subst' to fix the problem, do a forum search for subst and see if you can find it.

You really should be using Zoner's Half-Life tools for compilling. Check the Links page for a download link.

Er, my post was supposed to have a comment on the "Token too large on line 5". That long error bit from Tommy14 refers to the "Token too large" error.

cheers guys, ill see what i can do

hello again, i dont know what i am doing with zoners tools, do i just pout the files in the build programs? replacing the ones i had? i wish i wasnt such a noob, and i wish i had some idea of how PCs worked, then it may be easier to explain things to me. sorry about this. and i tried my maps worked before, when i was still using the same filenames... eg, program files... and stuff, so i dont think that it is cos of that that it isnt working, unless, you know otherwise and it may have changed its mind?
thanks again

Zoner's tools are a substitute for the old 'qrad', 'qbsp', 'vis' & 'qcsg'. All you have to do is specify Zoner's tools in the Hammer setup instead of the other ones.

cheers thought it may be that, but im never sure of myself:) thanks

I noticed the Q in qrad. Install zoners tools, then goto tools > options and specify the files there.

i forgot that i just downloaded zoners tools.
ok, now i have specified those files, but when i press f9 and go through all of that, it starts the console thing and then a box appears on my screen saying "hlcsg.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" "please tell microsoft about this bla bla bla"

any idea what is going wrong?
thanks

Take a look at the tutorial 'Setup Guide (WorldCraft/Hammer).'

It shows where you specify using hlvis instead of vis, hlrad instead of qrad, etc.

c:mapsshmoff2.bsp

Here is the error. BSP should be going into the maps folder in the Counter-Strike folder. I suggest you take another look at the 'Setting Up Hammer' tutorial and follow it carefully.

umm the same thing happened to me cause it came up with

quote'

The instruction at "0x0040574d" referenced memory at "0x0202c020". The memory could not be "read".

click ok to terminate program
cancel to debug

and then it has hlcsg.exe has encountered a problem etc etc so i need to figure out whats wrong

quote'

and i figured out that it was not the compiling fault but the map itself cause it had cliffs in it that i 'borrowed' off another map but it seems those cliffs wernt made for half life so i suggest making another map and see if it works :

That'll teach you to 'borrow' in future then habboi.

think it MAY be working now. thanks for your help

har har well im not very good at cliffs so i gave up on the whole isssue : :
