Not to be mean, but it would help if you add more details mostly because there are tons of things that could of happened. Usually when you compile a compile process window will pop-up while it is compiling. Most of the time it will tell you if there were errors.

Don't use worldcraft..

Valve Hammer is what you are looking for.

 

[Graive]

which version of world craft are you using...

 

[yopyop]

which version of world craft are you using...

i use 3.4
whats the diffrences between v h and wc??

 

[MC]

Where did you get the version from?

World Craft Valve Hammer was specificly altered for Half-Life I think. The original World Craft was used for other games.

Correct me if I am wrong.

You're not giving us much to work on, so it could be any number of things. =/

The most obvious is that you're probably running ESF in "singleplayer" mode (there is no "singleplayer" mode, but if certain multiplayer variables aren't set, the game will load then exit). So is that what happens? Does the game load up, then exit? If so, try creating a LAN listenserver with your map. Or do you crash to the desktop? What video mode are you running?

And version 3.4 is Hammer, you're just calling it by its antiquated name. Don't. You'll confuse people.

Try using a difrent compiler not the one from hammer itself.

Me recomends batch compiler

 

[Cold Steel]

Yep, personally i recommend using eddi's tools. Google it.

 

[DJ-Ready]

ok, here's what i recommend
hammer 3.4 + hammer 3.5beta exe
XP-Cagey's custom ZHLT compile tools
a batch compiler to compile your maps (or simply write your own batch to compile)

your map could also crash because you dont have all the required player spawn entities, make sure to have at least 1 info_ player_start, evil_start, good_start and player_deathmatch

no i have compiled the map and it works.
but when i try to use the hullfile esf is crashing!!

To all of u who dont have the hullfile and cant find a link or dont know where to get it.... read

-open notepad or a similar texeditor....
-copy that text and paste it into the file:

8 8 18
24 24 24
8 8 12


save the file as hulls.txt

now u have got the hullfile ....
i hope peoples will stop asking me for the hullfile now... i got like 30 pms about that... grrr

Try making the file again just in case.

If that does not work then see how you have your compiler set up:
EXAMPLE!!!

hlcsg.exe -hullfile hulls_esf.txt

in an esf mapping tutorial it says:
$csg_exe

$path\$file -hullfile c: \programme\valvesdsdgsfdgsdgsdgsdgsdgsdg\esf\hulls.txt
