yes, I was compiling a somewhat large map and i ran into the error

"hlrad: Error: Memory allocation failure
Description: The program failled to allocate a block of memory.
Howto Fix: Likely causes are (in order of likeliness) : the partition holding the swapfile is full; swapfile size is smaller than required; memory fragmentation; heap corruption"

now my laptop does not have highly good stats (from what i no it only has integrated graphics) but i thought that my RAM was pretty good (i think its 1 gb)

The weirdest thing is that when i run the map is CS:CZ, it appears to run fine (tho the console seems 2 have errors), besides the fact that bots cant "learn" the map

im kind of a hammer n00b rite now so i wud appreciate it if the answers were as understandable as possible

Well you seem to have had at least a good whack at the nail if not hitting it on the head... :)

As it says you are running out of memory. Make sure that as many of your running programs as possible are shut down (messenger clients etc.). Then try again; you might have freed up enough memory. Aside from that you could try running with... I think it's -chop 64. This might be the default; search the forums for chop and you'll likely find it.

Yeah, try killing as much stuff as possible. For this version of Hammer you don't even need Steam running, unlike the current Source SDK...
