It doesn't crash, you're just being impatient. Read the tutorials while it's compiling :P.

Or, in other words, it's just working, but you don't see it working. You see it as crashing (it's working too hard to respond), so you decide to exit. And texturing doesn't affect it. If you want, you could get a batch compiler so it will actually show you what's going on. Using a batch compiler using -estimate will actually show exactly how much is done.

Read the tutorials while it's compiling .

Nice advice Seventh .

By the way, you might want to use the -noinfo command line next time you post a compile log. It lessens the amount of useless stuff put in the log and display.

You used some textures which are to large. 256X256 is the highest texture size Half-Life can handle. 512*512 is also possible, but not with old videocards.

Either remove those texture, or resize them to a lower resolution.

lol impatient? i was waiting for 3 hours.

my bad it was not mins* -.-"

Those textures aren't very big, I doubt they'd be causing compile errors. They're less than 256x256 by my maths.

linkz0r: are you saying you waited for longer than three mins and it worked?

no i waited for 3 hours

Well, you are using a fairly old version of the compile tools. I suggest you get 3.2 from, at the moment, the News page.

Is the map large, complex, or, ahem, poorly designed?

It's pretty large and complex =/

Then it could well take hours ? you haven't even started the lighting yet. At that rate it could well take a day or two. What spec is your PC?
