One (or more) of the textures in the wad files you're using has a space in its name. Open the wad with wally (you can find the dl link in the FAQ) and remove the space from its name.

There are no spaces. I checked that before I started this topic

Well the good thing is there is nothing wrong with the compile or bat you posted.

So next, upload your map.

Well thats got to do with the map and wads, but the compiler and bat are working. If you got that error and the compiler didn't show it then the compiler would have a problem.

missing [ in texturedef

The 'missing [ in texturedef' message can be caused several ways:

One or more faces has no texture, or the texturename is just made up of spaces. Check for problems in WC 3.3/Hammer should detect them as 'invalid texture' messages.

The texture name on one or more faces has a space in the middle of the name somehow (Textures are not allowed to have spaces in their names)

You are using Worldcraft 2.0 or 2.1, and the worldspawn has a key/value of "mapversion" "220" If so, remove it.

A Worldcraft 3.3 map was imported into WC 2.1 or 2.2, same problem as above.

A Worldcraft 3.3 map was imported into Quark, also the same problem :)

The map is in Worldcraft 3.3's .map format, but the "mapversion" "220" is MISSING from the worldspawn (this is really rare).

Thanks for replys but I solved this already.

It was because of vertex manipulation

This error message can be caused several ways:

• One or more faces has no texture, or the texturename is just made up of spaces. Check for problems in Worldcraft 3.3 should detect them as 'invalid texture' messages.
• The texture name on one or more faces has a space in the middle of the name somehow (textures are not allowed to have spaces in their names).

• The map is in Worldcraft 3.3's .map format, but the "mapversion" "220" is MISSING from the worldspawn (this is really rare).
• The Half-Life 1 game engine does not support textures with non-English characters (e.g. ß, å, ç, etc) in the filenames.
