can't find bsp file Created 19 years ago2004-08-07 08:19:57 UTC by casperGhost

I started creating a map (of my house lol) and it was working just fine, and i start to add prefabs and all of a sudden, every time i run it, it continues reading it as if i hadn't added them at all (just a couch and a coffee table). I tried it with another file name and it told me that it couldn't find the associated bsp file (Error opening F:Half-Lifecstrikemapshouse5.bsp: No such file or directory). If i take out the prefabs and compile it it works, but it'll never compile the prefabs to a point that the game can see it. what gives? I am kind of a newb so harrass me as much as you want if this is a stupid question lol. Thanks.

Well, I think you might have placed the prefab wrong, maybe causing an error with hlbsp and it just loading the old version because it hasnt generated the new bsp yet.

Not 100% sure though.

well it appears now that only things from the crate section will work. if i add a couch or lamp or something, it'll stay the way it was the previous time it worked, so some prefabs work. is there a chance the game doesn't have a file for the couch or those other things or what?

lol a little update on my situation, apparently you were correct, i was just placing them wronge, i have to put them slightly off the ground? i feel so stupid, never mind it works now lol. thanks for the help trapt.

You shouldn't need to raise them.

Check your compile log and post the .err text file.
