OMG, i dont get it. I just made a map in valve i saved it compiled turned into .bsp saved it in the map folder and when i try to start up it gets STUCK by starting local game ( steam ). After that i even followed the first tut "in the beginning" i did everything correctly. STILL DIDNT WORK ( almost gonna shoot my comp ) I downloaded the example map and that one DID work WHAT THE F***. PLZ HELP IM SO F***ING PISSED

Diso, what is going on man, did you not fix that problem?!

I gave you shitloads of screenshots of where it is... man you're an impatient fucker ! hahaha

So, post the map in teh Map Vault, and if it's the same problem, I'll shoot you myself!

1: i checked for errors ( no errors found )
2: Yes other maps run
3: I made a square and a start_player_info and light entity in it.
4: i tryed to compile it with batch it was succesfully compiled, but maybe i did somthing wrong in the setup. But that alsmost cant because "Rick" helped me with it.
5: Hope u have an answer

You made a square? Then you should check your compile log for the word 'LEAK'...

Also, what compilers do you use? The old Q tools or Zoner's?

He's using ZHLT (I'm such a newb basher I helped him set it up yesterday), I'm guessing you have no problems with Batch Compiler.

Check the mapname.log or mapname.err[/b] files (same folder as teh .map file).

You did Export To Map and compile that right? Of course you did

Well, check those error and log files, and post them up here, if you see the word LEAK you rememebr how to find them?
Fly around outside the map and look for gaps, preferably in 3d flat textured in teh camera screen.

i don't see any "mapname".err ( box.err ). Only other files are there. So weird.

Maybe come on IRC?

Run the map manually perhaps?

Is this the same map as the one you put in the map vault Disco?

Omg, i cant connect to IRC. And i cant run the map manually because i dont know how.

well?

To run the map manually: Open Half-Life or Counter-Strike or whatever you're mapping for and pull down the console. Type into the console:

map mapname

Your map should then load.

aha il try that.

lol.. if you're unfamiliar with steam, by "when i try to start up it gets STUCK by starting local game" he means that he's actually starting the map up properly, it's just stopping halfway through which is very wierd indeed, the console method is fine, but if the same thign happens again (which it should) then you need to look for teh box.log file, and don't be impatient, really look for the log, it generates it.. it's in teh folder with your box.map file.
Look for it mate, it's there

That map is in the vault.
I downloaded it and it works fine for me under WON HL.

Nope it doesn't work manually. And there is no mapname.log i really checked it. Damnit why always me :'(

There is something you missed, mapname.log is always generated. Whether the compile was a success or not.

I'll have a look at it tonight if you're still having trouble.

5 hours

Im serious there is no .log or .err really.

Ok, well that's fine, we'll have to go over Batch and make sure you've got it set up to write a log file.

Do you have XP? I could do remote access and show you what to do maybe =/

But like I said, if it ain't fixed in 5 hours I'll give you a shout on msn.

Yep, i got xp home. And over msn is better so, lets do it when u can go on msn.
