AllocBlock is a Windows system call to allocate a block of memory. It can be one of several problems. Lack of available memory is (obviously) the primary suspect.

Suggestions: stop all other programs when you run your map. That includes VHE. Compile it, exit VHE and "Run.." HL from your Windows menu.

Also, you can upload the bsp to the problem maps vault and see if others get the error.

you didnt check tommy14's, did you?

allocblock:full
A tough one to figure out, vague error that usually shows up when you start the game or during compile, or even when WC/Hammer starts up - you have gone over the memory limit somewhere for some reason. It can be too little RAM (128M is about minimum), a leaf saw into leaf error, too long pathnames, too many textures, too big a level, too big or too many model/sprites, too big a wav sound file - or it could be that old "too many wads" mistake, a huge "noob" brush around the map to prevent leaks, too many SKY faces on hidden brush faces in the level - or even something else. Example: In early versions of NS, the 3D area info location entities were a major cause.
If it happens during compile, do not use WC/Hammer to "run" the map, but use a front end or batch file to compile with. You could also get more RAM.

Yes, he said he checked everywhere....

he said something about searching actually, leading me to the conclusion he only searched the forums.

My allocbloc full errors are always a map that's too big and too detailed.

learn to fake open areas.
check out maps like de_raoni; de_plaka; and others

I can barely fake mapping, let alone open areas.

Found out i made my open pre-created mod in the options, for my mod - such as where you tell it where executables are, and where to put things, etc.. Well i decided to compile it under half-life settings, and i didn't get the allocblock - - No longer a concern of mine but would be nice if someone could explain why it compiled and no allocblock fine when ran under half-life.
