I can load maps made by valve (Dm_ maps) but not any other ones. Could i send someone the map for them to get it so it can recompile? cause this is really getting me frustrated. Is there some way that u can just edit the .bsp file, i mean really y did they have to make it so u have to convert it, they really need to update that.

So i went into hammer and looked for the plasterwall047b_c17 material and of corse it wasnt there. so then i tryed plasterwall047b without the _c17 and it was there. How do i find were its mistaking plasterwall047b_c17 for plasterwall047b. You cant just use the replace tool can you?

ok so i tried to replace plaster/plasterwall047b_c17 for plaster/plasterwall047b and it said 0 file replaced. Then why is it saying it not there if it doesn't even need it?

I might be wrong about that, I was really taking a shot in the dark.

Use the Check For Problems tool in Hammer.

I tried the check for problems tool and it says 0 errors, I wonder if it when i decompile it somethings getting messed up. Except ive tried it many times with many maps. Some work some dont. I really need to be able to edit this map tho

I got it to compile by adding a file in the folder named the same as the vmf so it would copy over. But now when i go to run it it crashes. I checked for leaks and there wernt any and the compile time is 7 minutes 50 seconds. Some people say that theres takes over night. How come mines crashing and taking such a short time to compile.
