when i go to play the map iam working on it says error lok in C:Program FilesValveSteamSteamAppsdan_larsonday of defeatdodmapsdan 1.log for the problem :

Open dan 1.log, copy it, and post the error here. The whole log... I'm sure that's what you need to do next.

It's because there's a space in Program Files, it confuses the compiler.

Either read the bottom of Teh Steam tutorial for instructions on how to setup subst to avoid this problem, or reinstall Steam to a space-free directory.

Here is your problem. Make sure your .wad files are where you want them. And Rabid is right about the spaces... rename your map to dan_1 or something without spaces.

Read the logs, that's what they're for.

steamappsusernameday of defeatdod, since this is a DOD map.

For CS, they'd go in counter-strikecstrike, and for HL, half-lifevalve.

Here are a few of the problems that popped up under this situation:

1. You may have errors in your compile, if not then,
2. Your pak0pak.pak file may be corrupted?
3. Maybe the wrong game version?
4. Wrong WC/Hammer version? Earlier versions of WC were particularly prone to this. Use WC 3.3 or Hammer!
5. Maybe another compile will make it go away, or not? And make sure you have the most up-to-date version of zoner's compiling tools....
6. You may have a bad model - like one from another mod or game, or you once installed a custom one? Or you may have a corrupted sprite or model?
7. Have you installed a patch recently? It might be bad....

I'd assume it's because you use Q tools still. Get ZHLT from the Links page on this very site.
