Oh ya and when I open the .bat file it will run but after a while another window will appear which shows hlbsp.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

That is the issue, then; hlbsp produces the prt files which tell hlvis what the map is "like" after reading the "constructive solid geometry" (hlcsg) then hlrad uses the hlvis information to work out the map's lighting. Try redownloading hlbsp - it needs to be working.

I have already re downloaded it a lot of times but there's always the same error. Other maps do not have that error.

I'm really going mad.
I've spent hours looking for solutions.

Nothing works.

Send the rmf to someone and see if they can compile it.

From the inside, maybe. You've made 2 cubes (why 2?) one inside the other and all the walls are big and sloppy.
The error was probably caused by the huge brushes that were close the to end of the grid.

I sent you an .RMF that is exactly the same from the players' side, but "cleaner" on the outside.

zzz1123

2008 Jun 8 • 137

Erm are you sure you send it to the correct email? I have not received it yet. And as for the reason why I made two cubes, its because there were leaks so I just enclosed the first cube in another.

2008 Jun 8 • 137

Oh thanks I just received it.

My God a new error in the map...
hlbsp: Error:
A LEAK is a hole in the map, where the inside of it is exposed to the
(unwanted) outside region. The entity listed in the error is just a helpful
indication of where the beginning of the leak pointfile starts, so the
beginning of the line can be quickly found and traced to until reaching the
outside. Unless this entity is accidentally on the outside of the map, it
probably should not be deleted. Some complex rotating objects entities need
their origins outside the map. To deal with these, just enclose the origin
brush with a solid world brush

Are you compiling the version I sent you?

Yup.

Here's what you do:
1. Make one solid brush that fills your room completely.
2. Delete every brush in your map except the one you've just created. (That's 6 brushes you need to delete...)
3. Select the brush, and press Ctrl + H. (Set a negative thickness.)

THERE! YOUR MAP SHOULD FINALLY WORK!!

zzz1123

2008 Jun 8 • 137

Okay but what do you mean about one solid brush? I'm new to all these stuff so I really don't understand.

I guess I better do this tomorrow its late now gonna go sleep.

It's like... like... a brush is just one of those big blocks that you make.

See I think what happened is that in trying to find your leak you enclosed it like that (bad times all round really, you shouldn't do this) with a brush that somehow made hlbsp curl up and die.
