(and sorry about there pic before photobucket kept resizing my pictures)
Personally, I want to say it's a problem with your installation, but don't take my word for it, since I'm nowhere near an expert on this topic. Infact, I have a problem myself. My compile keeps telling me that it: "can't fine lights.rad in lights.rad" and I can't figure out a way to fix this problem. Anyone have a clue?
I've had a few beers but heres my 2 cents: reference here: http://www.interlopers.net/errors/index.php -i didnt notice any major errors in the log Another thought, have you set up hammer for empires mod? i think i had similar hl2 crashes when i first tried compiling/running my empires test maps. -If you're running empires mod settings, double check everything in hammer options(typos etc.) -also might be due lack of emp_info_params entity... im not 100% sure if hl2.exe crashes if its not in the map. If you arent running empires mod maps: -remove emp_info_params or any entities related to empires. -try to revert to hammer default settings and then compile a simple cube with info_player_start in it (to make sure if hl2 maps work) -if you still cant run the map try refreshing sdk contents(in SDK menu) then reinstalling hammer. Try these at your own risc as im not even half the genius as i usually am... PS. Backup your mapsrc folders!
Take a look at the "ModName:" portion of the error window. "filesystem_steam.dll"? Might be something you've done with configuring it for the mod. Just a hunch, as I have no idea if that's normal or not.
i do have hammer set up to map for empires but before i started up hammer i did not use empires i used the HL2:DM setting. i will try reinstalling hammer and then setting it up for empires later when i am better at mapping.
hmmmm... im bumping this to see if any1 else has any ideas because i tryed most of horny rabbits. oh and i validatede my copiey (i maniged to get somthing to compile 2day!!!!! i wonder if i will be able to keep this up??!!!)
I have a feeling this is something to do with your empires setup. Reset the configs and follow the instructions on the wiki for setting up hammer. But first, back up everything. As far as I know the "filesystem_steam.dll" thing is normal.
holy shit not again!!!! the update to sdk fucked it up its happening again! but not just to empires to hl2 and css ...and everything i ge the error when i try to compile anything! i need help because i love hammer and i dont want to be without it!!!!!!! also it will be hard for me to make much more of this mapping guide with fixing this!
Sometimes after an update you need to execute the mod at least one time to complete the update. I remember that filesystem error, I fixed doing that. Refresh sdk also could help.
ok i used it with... *css and all it did was load up counter strike *when i used it with empires i got the same error
**bump** i changed where i saved the files im compiling and now it just loads up the game and does nothing... help?
can you um tell me what this is and just some genral info about it! = ] oh and maby give me ur x-fire so you can help me set it up **dont matter i think i found i ill tell you how it goes...** i used it with a few maps and it said that there was a error and i looked it up and it said somthing about skyboxes so i ran one with out a sky box and it compiled it with no errors then just did nothing and i cant work out why-it was set to run the map.
