Error: Missing '[' in texturedef (U)

Go to www.slackiller.com/tommy14/errors.htm for a complete list of errors. It's usually down, though. I'll paste the error if I can get to the site.

It's going to be down for a while, Oktagone is broken (suprise, suprise) and I think they hosted him.

Instead, refer to this page: http://www.valve-erc.com/content/resources/zhlt/ZHLTProblems.html

[quote]The 'missing [ in texturedef' message can be caused several ways:

* One or more faces has no texture, or the texturename is just made up of spaces. Check for problems in WC 3.3 should detect them as 'invalid texture' messages.
* The texture name on one or more faces has a space in the middle of the name somehow (Textures are not allowed to have spaces in their names)
* You are using Worldcraft 2.0 or 2.1, and the worldspawn has a key/value of "mapversion" "220" If so, remove it.
* A Worldcraft 3.3 map was imported into WC 2.1 or 2.2, same problem as above.
* A Worldcraft 3.3 map was imported into Quark, also the same problem :)
* The map is in Worldcraft 3.3's .map format, but the "mapversion" "220" is MISSING from the worldspawn (this is really rare).

Run a check for problems (Alt-P) and fix those errors, if any show up, then refer to the additional possible causes.

Plus http://www.seventh.nildram.co.uk/tommy14.htm

Always go to Tommy's site first when you recieve a compile error.

If you cannot find the answer there, then ask it here and everyone here would be glad to help.

Also, If you are new to mapping, read some of the beginer tutorials in this site. They are a great resourse for those that are trying to learn how to map.

where do i get some textures and how do i apply them?

umm... read tutorials... if you still don't get it, come back.

umm i tried fixing the errors but i still got this popup when i tried compiling,

ooh... that's a creative one, I'd have to look at stuff to figure out teh problem, instead, I'll suggest you go on the net and find error help.

Don't run HL from Hammer. I heard it happens when you use Hammer. Try running Steam.exe -applaunch 70 +map map. (or if it's a CS map, then use -applaunch 10 instead of 70)

If that doesn't work, I guess you have to run the map manually.

That's exactly when it happens, dandyli0n`; you can probably add an extra "change directory" to the end of the compile process to sort it, but it's easier and quicker jus' to launch the map manually.
