Can someone help?

okey, i'm no expert but you need to change a few things. Don't think they are the real problem but they are problems.

1. Don't use the standard compiler, Use Zoner's or a batch compiler
2. if you RTFM you would see that some of your wad files should NOT be included. don't remember which once right now since i don't have hammer anymore but there is a limit to how many you can use at the same time.

Its too big.

Thats all I can make out of that.

There are waaaaay too many brushes.

notice the:
nummarkfaces == MAX_LEAF_FACES

And you've got loads of invalid solids :/

Alt-P in Hammer and fix all the errors.

It still won't work.

I had this problem before.

The map ended up never being compile, and is now lost in my old computer.

Unless you want to delete the heck out of a lot of your stuff, you won't be compileing this concoction any time soon.

SariBous is right.
First up, get new compiling tools:
Slackiller's HL Programs
Every thing you need to map with Hammer 3.4 is archived here!

Begin to understand an error log.

********** ERROR **********
nummarkfaces == MAX_LEAF_FACES

Every time you get one of these, the answer is normally available at:
Tommy14's Error Reference
It also pays to understand ZHLT's Reference and Problems.
You will find a link at the bottom of this page:
HL Links

As for the .wad files, remove:
pldecal.wad
cached.wad
fonts.wad
gfx.wad

They are not required for the mapping you are doing.

Load up the new compiling tools before you try to fix the errors.

I have about 3 maps with this error :S
lol

BTW,

don't use carve. That might have been what started the problem. Try and use Vertex Manipulation to make your complex brushes. I believe there are two tutorials on VM on this site.

It might help to use null on faces that won't be seen. Such as the sides of brushes which points out into the void.

Note: I'm just guessing, it's a theory.

usually those faces are taken away by VIS.

Yeah it wouldn't work now that you pointed that put.

Better way would be to track down that (those?) offending brush(es).

Yep, that seems to be the case... but so many level designers continued to 'null' unseen faces that I tested it out.

Conclusion?
Doesn't seem to make a difference. But that does not mean it doesn't.
Effectively the unseen textures are pre-stripped by 'null'ing them.

Anyway, I am sure that if 'Urbanrider' get's some new tools, most of the problems will go away.

You can get ZHLT 3.0b4 here.

I think i get it! Now i'm workink on a new map that is computer, where players walk thro CD/CDrw drives, etc

I'm trying to not repeat the same errors

btw, sorry about my English...

it's not bad (trying not to)

The Beta ZHLT are buggy at best, from my experience.

Once i got my whole map awash with reddish tint - looks nasty

Beware of Betas, but rejoice with new features!

Ah, I remember this kind of problem back in the days of WorldCraft 2.0. It was always a case of: "WHAT!? Oh man not again.I'll sort it out later."

I didn't of course. They all vanished into the packed out 'maps' folder never to be seen agian. Ah 'dm_snipers.' I remember you well.

I probably could make the map in HL2 but the idea seems boring now.
