vbsp.exe has stopped working Created 17 years ago2007-03-25 14:02:47 UTC by TheTikiTony

I'm getting an error: vbsp.exe has stopped working after vbsp runs the physics collision data process, windows is bringing up the error and stopping vbsp, as a result hammer will not create a bsp file, thus I cannot test my map. Has anyone ever had this problem?

P.S. I'm running Windows Vista, but i've compiled before and had no problem :(.

The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified."

So, what did you add since the last time it compiled right?
(Answering this question solves 80% of all compiling problems)

Check all your props. Your compile stopped right before the part where my log usually tells me about prop errors, and right before "Placing detail Props"

That's just it, I added a LOT of things since last compile. I'll look around though, what sort of things should I look for?

Edit: How long does vbsp run for on a map the size of maybe.. dust2? I've got 1GB ram. Maybe vista is just giving me the error because of hammers many problems. I'm gonna try letting vbsp run when the error comes up and see if that works.

Sometimes, this error appears when Hammer crashes, loads up the auto-save, and then you try to compile the auto-save.

If this map is an auto-save, try saving it as the original .VMF and then compiling that one.

I've tried that, and saving it as a different file and compiling, neither worked.

I found the prop: models/props/cs_militia/bathroomwallhole01_tile.mdl

It's set as a prop_static and it's inserted into a wall which may be why it caused the problem, I'll make a work-around, thanks kasperg and splint.
