Hammer crash.. Created 18 years ago2005-11-26 16:39:45 UTC by Tetsu0

Hey guys. Im back after a long break.
I had a brainstorm the other day, making a bumpercar c-s map.
Anyway i was testing out my cars that i made and they worked fine, but when i closed counterstrike, a pop-up showed that hammer experienced a problem and needed to close.

that happens a lot so i didnt really worry about it, but when i started hammer again, it wouldnt let me open the map. The same pop-up appeared and said hammer had to close.

This happened eith every map i had, every build program i had, and even if i tried to create a new map.

So i re-installed hammer, i can make maps now, but when i compile there is no .bsp created. Im 90% sure i followed the setup right. i set the map directory to my valve/maps folder and my cstike/maps folder. none worked, and there isnt even a .bsp there, only a .map.

ANyone have any suggestions?
Im gonna triple check my pathnames, and ill check back later.
cries the first time i have something totally and completely planned out, hammer crashes.. i love it..

thanks in advance

Well you might try batch compiling, since your hammer compiler is borked.. :
What compile tools are you using?

Im using the zoner tools..
What else would i be using?

How do i batch compile? i bet its complicated.

It's covered in parts of the Compiling Introduced tutorial.

K ill go try that... Um.. any other ideas though? Not to solve it really but to find out what caused it?
Thanks seventh, daubster

Some code arguing with some other code. Could be drivers, Windows, anything.

ARGH!
Thanks Seventh
again.
well im gonna run through the hammer setup. again. then try batch compiling if that doesnt work, then ill comeback if everything's still b0rked.

HEY i fixed it..
I got the newest update of the zoners tools, and i changed my directory..

I had my maps in c:SierraCounter-Strikecstrikemaps
and they were sopossed to be in c:SierraHalf-Lifecstrikemaps

but i checked before and the /bsp wasnt even created.. yet it is now.

funky stuff
thanks for the help guys.
