My map is not updating Created 8 months ago2023-08-31 06:22:32 UTC by Lost Tapes

Iv Been working on a map for a mod I'm working on and the map saves in jack but In the mod when I play it its still the old version anyone know why this is happening.

It sounds like your map is not compiling. Post the compile log and we can take a look.

Executing...
** Command: Change Directory
** Parameters: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\valve

** Executing...
** Command: Copy File
** Source: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\London.$ext8daysdemo\maps\London.map
** Destination: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\London.map8daysdemo\maps\London.map

• Could not copy the file:

Source: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\London.$ext8daysdemo\maps\London.map
Destination: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\London.map8daysdemo\maps\London.map

• Windows gave the error message:

"The system cannot find the path specified."

If im correct this means my config is all messed up but I don't know what it is that's messed up

London.$ext8daysdemo\maps\London.map

This looks like a strange mess. Are you compiling in Expert Mode?
If so, could you post a screenshot of how your compile setup looks like?

Oh and double-check your Directories in game config as well. It should look something like

[Game Executable]
...\steamapps\common\Half-Life\hl.exe

[Base Game Directory]
...\steamapps\common\Half-Life\valve

[Mod Directory]
...\steamapps\common\Half-Life\8daysdemo

(Assuming your mod is called "8daysdemo")

Firstly, Base Game Directory should be ...\steamapps\common\Half-Life\valve

Not important but Source Map Directory shouldn't be the game/mod's maps folder but instead a project folder holding the RMF/JMF project files (keeping it separate from your game data will help making things more tidy, for example in a folder like C:\hl_modding\28daysdemo\maps).

Secondly, I asked you if you compiled using Expert Mode, and if so what does the compile setup look like.
I'm asking since the paths in the log implies incorrect/incorrect parameter use in the compile tool arguments.

It could be the .$ext in the path, or that you have short filenames (8.3 filename) disabled.
I would copy the compilers and folders over to somewhere that has no spaces or weird characters in the path or filenames like this.

C:\Hammer\London8daysdemo\maps

Then setup hammer or jack again.

Im done working on the mod so its fine now sorry
