Tip to compile error "error opening"

[Bossanova]

well here's a free tip to all of you, and maybe it will help someone one day *sigh*

if you ever get a compile error that says "error opening" C:\valve...blah blah\maps\mapname.bsp

and the map never compiles. here's what you may have done wrong.

lesson learned after re-installing SDK 3 times and the whole game twice. :rolling:

I accidently put a texture on a no-clip when putting textures on my walls *doh* works fine now. thank me later... beer time

I didn't know there was a no-clip texture, I've only heard of a clip texture (but i don't know very much).
Anyway a clip texture is a special texture that is invisible ingame but still blocks the person. There's also Player Clip but I don't know what the difference is between the two.
