It can happen when you haven't included all the .wad files you are using with hammer. (But then how can you see them listed in the first place?) Perhaps you have removed/ some .wad's from hammer's list of included textures. -Or Mabye you have moved the listed directory of the .wad. Check those.

Strange: someone out there probably knows exactly what's up, but in the meantime, I would suggest you export to a temporary .map and do a separate "test" compile. I would be interested to see if they are compiled or not. -it might help to solve the problem.

It sounds to me like hammer isn't recognizing the .wads. Are these custom textures? -and how many wads are you using?

It can happen sometimes if you have more than one map opened. That still must be a pain though. Or try closing and re-opening Hammer.

UM, its not healthy to use 8 or more wads at a time... concider merging 2/3 of them into one

It's dosent LOOSE the textures, it just can't see/read them. -But it still remembers the names!!!:D at the worst you will have to do a find replace. I would also suggest you save a backup before doing anything further. (find-replacing the wrong texture can be a pain)

You dont have to take the textures off, you just change the wads hammer looks at.

so i remove the wads i already have on and the textures will still be there but not showable at that point of time until i add my merged wad?
