Compiling problems.

[Ren.182]

I just made a test map in Hammer and i tried to compile it using hammer. During compiling i got an error, so i copied the log to the clip board and decided to ask for help.

Here is the log file:
-----

Can you tell me what is wrong and how i could fix this problem please.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

something is wrong with the directories that you are writing to. Check your config to make sure that they all exist.

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\****\sou rcesdk

There seems to be a space between sou and rcesdk. That may be the issue.

If not, I think you can let it autoconfigure itself again. Not entirely sure how tho

 

[Ren.182]

No those spaces aren't there, they were automatically put in there by the forums when i posted for some reason.

I'll try to auto configure.

Screenshots:
1st one is what settings i use when i compile.
2nd one is the error message i get.

 

[Triggerhappy41]

hmmm. One thing is that when (in the config) I changed the directory where compiled maps are dumped to a different one, it didnt work when compiling. I read later that that is an issue with hammer right now.

Anyway, we could try to get you back up and running with some screenies of my working config. It doesnt dump compiled maps where I want them, but I will change that as soon as the issue is resolved with valve.

 

[Ren.182]

Thanks for the help trigger happy. But on the screenshot you took i cannot see where the files are being saved to because the paths only go up to about your username. Could you please just copy/paste the file paths into a post or something so i can see the rest of the file paths.

*I hope that made sense*

Build Programs Tab:
BSP: d:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\osilo\sourcesdk\bin\vbsp.exe

VIS: d:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\osilo\sourcesdk\bin\vvis.exe

RAD: d:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\osilo\sourcesdk\bin\vrad.exe

Place compiled maps... D:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\osilo\sourcesdk\cstrike_sample_content\maps


Game Config Tab:
Game exe folder: d:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\osilo\sourcesdk

Game folder(where gameinfo.txt is): d:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\osilo\sourcesdk\cstrike_sample_content

Hammer Map folder: d:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\osilo\sourcesdk\cstrike_sample_content\maps

Hope that helps you'll have to moddify the directories just a bit of course for your steam account and where you installed the game.

EDIT: The forums added the spaces like they did on your post just ignore them or remove them if you copy/paste.

Since the update today the compiler has worked fine. Thank you to all who helped me

 

[Triggerhappy41]

good to hear. Yeah sorry I forgot that It doesnt show the entire filepath. At least now youre up and running. Happy mapping

I had this problem.

I had run the mod maker wizard just to see. For some reason Hammer started trying to save into a /maps folder in my mod folder, which the wizard had never created, and Hammer wasn't willing to make it for me. So it crashed. All I had to do was create a folder named /maps in the right spot.
