This happens when i try to complile a map, my esf is set up for steam.





** Executing...
** Command: Change Directory
** Parameters: C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\Blankuser\half-life


** Executing...
** Command: Copy File
** Parameters: "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\Blankuser.map" "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\Blankuser\half-life\esf\maps\Blankuser.map"

The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified."

Did you try to use hammer to compile? Well if so, don't rahter download ZHLT or batch compiler, I use zhlt though. you can download it here:
www.zhlt.info/download-zhlt.html

Really, the type of compile program does not matter. They all do the same depending on how you configure them.

What I always do when I encounter an error i've never seen before is type the error message in google. Helped me each and every time I got stuck.

 

[donnierisk]

The whole error message?! I used to have that error using hammer, but for some reason when I used ZHLT it worked. But did you remember to export the file to a .map format?

 

[Cold Steel]

I said the error message, not the log.

Lol sorry, I had a blank moment, okay, thanks for the tip though, now I know what to do next time.

hmmm, yeah maybe i could try a different compiler...its just that im very familiar with WORLDCRAFT and essentially its the same as VHE. I've never once had this problem with worldcraft. I guess its a new world when i've been away from HL mapping for like 2 years.

Hmmm, also getting this error alot...i got it with Worldcraft a long time ago somewhat but never knew why i was getting it.


************ ERROR ************
nummarkfaces == MAX_LEAF_FACES


When i see this, i just cup my hands over my eyes and cry for 5 hours.

 

[billyCHEESE]

bah nevermind, the majority of my problems have gone away just by using a different compiler. thx for the suggestions.

K, cool, I don't think that there are many people that use VHE for compiling anymore, Batch and ZHLT are much better and easier.
