Stupid VHE causing yet another problem.. Created 20 years ago2004-08-26 16:41:41 UTC by Meatwad2k

Yeah, nice to know it decides to go "Gee, I'm gonna make up some sort of a lie like "Can't find .bsp file". My ass. It worked just fine the last time I compiled it, all I did was add a bench to my map and compile it to see how it looked and BAM: Went from good compiling, Mr. Smiley happy-happy go-go work-good, to WAAH-I'M-A-BITCH 2.0. What is the deal with it?? Please, any help will be great.

what did you change when you compiled it? post the .err log.

try merge some of youre wads so there are fewer. mine wouldnt load so i had to do that. now i have my wads.wad that has 3,576 textures in it. be sure not to go over i think 8,000 textures or it will crash hammer

This indicates that VHE might not be stupid after all, you might want to check the Chair/keyboard interface?

Exactly, how do I merge .wads into a map?

quote: "check the chair/keyboard interface"

Download wally and use WAD Merge.

I merged a bunch of wads and I get the same error. It STILL isn't doing the .bsp and it's telling me to merge textures and remove unused. Can someone explain it a little bit easier?

did you merge the files you needed? im guessing that you have some pretty big textures. soo....try merging the ones you need and only the ones you need into like a wads.wad file.
