Compile issues Created 19 years ago2004-09-15 04:20:23 UTC by elix

Hi,
My first time here hope to get some help because i'm really stuck.

About 3 years ago I build up a map, 4.4MB size. Since then I formatted my PC alot of times, and I got a copy of the map only on one 1.44 disk and the disc is ruined, so I got only the rmf file and now I need to compile it again.

Today I own an AMD 2500 512ddram radeon9700 computer, and back then I compiled with 1000mhz computer and the compile took about 45 min.. yesterday I tried to compile and it just made the program (Worldcraft) to make no response and in the procceses it ran hlvis.exe on 99% CPU Usage, oh well I tought it is still running so I left it open for the night, in the morning it was at the same place..

Previous time when I compiled my map it was smooth and clear with no problems, and it took a very short time to finish it aswell!

Maybe the additional commands on the Run menu are wrong or I just didn't wrote all the thing I need? (I remember back then I had about 5 words in this box).

I thank anyone who answers in advance for trying to help me, thanks!

Post your compile log.

Hi, I just did with NO vis and the compile took about 3 min and the map looks the same like back then.. thats the log USING vis: hlcsg v2.5.3 rel (May 2 2001)

For bigger compiles it is advisefull to batch compile with -estimate.
This will show you the current process with an estimated time for finishing.

Wheel... just be patient. VIS is very time-consuming, especially on not-too-well-laid-out maps.

it just made the program (Worldcraft)

Get Valve Hammer Editor, not Worldcraft.

It could also be your insane amount of wads.

Warning: ::FindTexture() texture CASTROLOG not found!
Warning: ::LoadLump() texture CASTROLOG not found!

It could also be this. You are missing the wad file with the texture CASTROLOG in it. Either change the texture of the brushes with it, or load the wad into hammer.

Try running VIS on fast, and if that works, run it again on full.

Always remove unnesicary (damn that word) wads. You really don't all those wads, trust me.
