1. Which game/mod? Or is it your own mod?
2. Can you post a compile log?

Were/are there spaces in the file name?

 

[corrupted-soul]

its my own map thats not working. but whats is the compile log? is it the text thats shows when you try to run the map?

 

[Cycleswithin]

Yes. Have a look for errors.

 

[corrupted-soul]

i have cheked for error and fixed all of them. The map file still cant be loaded.

 

[97AndyMacK]

Exactly what error happens? I mean, does it say "Map loading error" in the console or what?

 

[Crispy]

The compile log is the text that shows when you 'make' the map in the editor (when you convert it from an editable VMF to a playable BSP). All the compile logs for each map are saved in a text file under the map name if you ever need to refer back to them.

Corrupted... it's your own map, but for what game type? Some games and mods may require specific entities to run properly.

the error thats happens is that the map cant be loaded. It says "failed to load map". It will be a singleplayermap. I have cheked for leaks and stuffs like that.

 

[Calhoun]

Give us the compile log.

 

[corrupted-soul]

the compile log i kinda long, shall i post all of it?

 

[97AndyMacK]

Yes, plz. That would be most helpful.

Face List Count >= OVERLAY_BSP_FACE_COUNT

You've got an overlay (or more than one) spread over too many faces (6, I think).

 

[corrupted-soul]

[corrupted-soul]
