Hi, It started with a prefab I was building. It did include many custom textures but idk if that was the problem. anyway, I turned off my pc for the night and the next day I had an "unrecoverable error" when opening the same prefab. It sucks because it was basically done. anyways, after that I started getting the same error when opening radiant alone. I reinstalled the radiant files but that didn't work. can anyone help me please?

sometimes you can open the map file with notebook
then make sure the format is right
the very top world spawn sometimes you may added with n your enitys box somthing like this, the blue can error your map

iwmap 4
"000_Global" flags active
"The Map" flags
// entity 0
{
"origin" "0.0 0.0 0.0"
"model" "static_holland_firebarrel"
"classname" "misc_model"
// brush 0
{


should be like this

iwmap 4
"000_Global" flags active
"The Map" flags
// entity 0
{
"classname" "worldspawn"
// brush 0
{

}
}



make sure you have

}
}


at the end, this and or spaces in map script will stop radiant from opening it
and the top should be


iwmap 4
"000_Global" flags active
"The Map" flags
// entity 0
{
"classname" "worldspawn"
// brush 0
{



ps the radiant maybe set to open your last proj, hence the error will keep up eveytime you open it, fix, when it errors change your pref, to not open last project

Thank you but this didn't work. My notepad file matches perfectly with how it should be. The issue it that I can't open radiant at all because it loads my map by default. However it doesn't give me the "edit prefrences" option. instead it gives me the standard "send" or "dont send" error report. is there another way to change prefs without opening radiant?

never mind. fixed it by taking the map it was loading out of the map source and then changing preferences!

glad to help ,happy E day!

btw,
when you opened the map with notepad did all of your entity's
"models" have
"angles" "0 0 0"

some times this will screw with the map too

just check the entity's, if it don't have that , you just need to add this to it
"angles" "0 0 0"

0 0 0 is the setting it is placed as, even if the angles were not set, so adding that will not change the placing of your model
