I had a level made with a few things to fix.
After made these fixes and added a few crates i found out that when i previewed the map that my changes weren't there. (crates lights etc that i added.)
I think this is a compiling problem but it doesn't bring up any errors of compiling.
If anyone has any idea i would appreciate the help.

Cheers ;)

Check your configuration in Hammer and your compile log. Your new map isn't getting copied to the right place, or isn't getting compiled at all. Then when HL opens, the old map is still in the maps directory and that's why you don't see your changes.

"Check your configuration in Hammer and your compile log. Your new map isn't getting copied to the right place, or isn't getting compiled at all."

Or, there's something wrong with it.

Compile error? Seems most likely to me, I had this problem a lot when I added changes and they weren't showing up.

Well everything in configuration is fine. I then went ahead and saved it as another name like deathmatch2.
Now it brings up an error.

The command failed. Windows reported the error:

I fixed it my running the "check for problems" and clicking "fix" on everything.

Ive also had that first problem you had, wont save changes. I saved a new copy to a different directory with the same name (eg. C:/maps/vesa.rmf) and deleted everything else that was in the hammer folder and in the Half-life folder, only YOUR map files ofcourse dont go deleting everthing. It seemed to work for me. If this does not work, im sure other people on this site will be more than happy to help.
