Thanks for the help, but it seems that an fgd file holds a list of groupes of entities (the one in the link you gave me had some game_ and xen_ entities I think) so can you plz give me a link for an fgd file that has prop_ entities? (Because I need to use the prop_dynamic entity in my map) Thanks

I have no name :( in Hammer Mapping

The name of the thread is wrong, sorry (I forgot to put anything so that title showed by itself).

So what's wrong with my map if it's not the wad file?

hlvis: Error: Portal file 'catpee.prt' does not exist, cannot... in Hammer Mapping

Now I get it, the .map file was empty!!

OK, what about the new error?

hlvis: Error: Portal file 'catpee.prt' does not exist, cannot... in Hammer Mapping

Hey guys I don't know what happened to the first problem, I think I fixed it by mistake, but now I got a new error:

err file says:
hlcsg: Error: Parsing Entity 0, expected '{' got '9'

log file says:

...(you can realize that the rest is not important by noticing the error here)

So what does this mean? I'd appreciate any reply

I get your point, but it's impossible, I am sure I used the wad files in the "cstrike" folder and in "valve" folder.

And another thing, I told you that hammer crashes when I export my map but I can see the .map file, but I have noticed that the file's size is 0 kb, so maybe that's the problem!

hlvis: Error: Portal file 'catpee.prt' does not exist, cannot... in Hammer Mapping

That couldn't be the error cause I used multiple textures from multiple wad files. What made you think I only used zhlt.wad?

hlvis: Error: Portal file 'catpee.prt' does not exist, cannot... in Hammer Mapping

So the problem is in my version of hammer? Or it's my map that is so big that hammer couldn't support it, what caused it to crash?
