Problem running game Created 18 years ago2006-05-29 11:46:04 UTC by ChronosRox

This never happened before. I dont know why this happens.

When I run the game (after compiling the map) , instead of running, I got two bad situations:

1: First, when I compile the map, it said something about "cannot find nameofanarchive . Continue process?" it wasnt precisely this message, but something like. I click OK and it shows me the message AGAIN! I press OK again, now some seconds later, another window shows up, smething like this: could not read file "hotmail". Continue process?" I click okay so..... AN HL WINDOW SHOWS UP CALLING FOR CD KEY!!!! WTF???? Why this happens? I dont want to run hl I want to run CS, but I lost my CD key. I can compile the map but cant run the game directly from hammer. Thats very annoying, I need to manually move the file, open the game, choose the map, wait.... Wtf...

2: I tried mesing up with game configurations, and now, when I compile, just the CD-key window shows up.

I check the "dont run the game" box in the compiling properties but even not running the game the CD key window pops up.

I cant fix that I want to run the fame directly !!!!

Someone help me.!

1. It's to do with some versions of Windows and compile tools and stuff, and complicated paths related to Steam, like "SteamSteamAppsblah@hotmail.comhalf-life". Breaks stuff sometimes. Look at the SUBST part of our Steam tutorial. Near the end.

2. Why do you care? You seem to be using Steam anyway.
