I made a map with three houses and a wall barrier surrounding the map.
I added 1 DM spawn point
I added a bunch of lights
compiled the map
made my gsc with the following info inside

main() {
maps\mp\_load::main();
}


and when i try and run my map I get this error
I am thinking there must be a lantern inside one of the houses.
And I am probably missing one of the specific effect commands?
any help or guidence would be appreciated

then yes you are in devmode, do not use the compiler to start your map. Start your cod2 like normal bring down the console and type "/map yourmapname"

but when I am making the map I add a building and test it after i compile it i dont want to go through all the hassles of making a mp_mapname.iwd
everrytime i save it

Are You running in devmode?

Im running it straight from the compiler

I deleted the lanterns from the houses and problem is solved :)

You don't have to create the .iwd just turn off pure in your server settings, then you can run your map like normal and with the lanterns etc.. but if you run in devmode you will get that error.

Or call me crazy but you could actually define the lantern effects in your fx.gsc

How would you do that?

add this in the precache of your fx .gsc

 level._effect["lantern_light"]	                        = loadfx("fx/props/glow_latern.efx");

Sample mp_yourmapname_fx.gsc

main()
{
	precacheFX();
	ambientFX();
	level.scr_sound["flak88_explode"]	= "flak88_explode"; // needed for sd gametype
}

precacheFX()
{
	level._effect["flak_explosion"]				= loadfx ("fx/explosions/flak88_explosion.efx"); // needed for sd gametype
        level._effect["lantern_light"]	                        = loadfx("fx/props/glow_latern.efx");
}


ambientFX()
{

// add your smoke, dust effects etc... here

}
