ok, heres the story, ive been making my map, ive tested over and over, but this time, I made a whole other room, then when I go to test it, it still is the same as the old test. the file size is diffrent from the old too. and my .map is the correct one, do you guys have any idea whats goin on?

have u put the correct .bsp into the mp folder?

did you recompile after the changes?
a change to the .map does not constitue a change to a bsp

yeah, I recompiled and everything, ive made maps before. this is confusing though

Check your compile log and see if there are any errors in there. Could be it's not outputting a newer bsp file.

possible, but the command lines are correct, ima do a test.

ok, I deleted the .bsp's. but when I ran codbuilder, it said it couldnt make a .bsp becuase no prevous .bsp was found, which doesnt make sense to me becuase I dont use this tool often. when I use my compile.bat that I made, I found one thing, it said

entity 0, brush 34: lightmap allocation failed after it was trying to write the .prt

If you deleted the bsp that's exactly what codbuilder will say.
Use Misc/Find Brush and put that number in. Then hit the backspace key to get rid of it.

If the Compiler don't make a prt file there will be no bsp made.

yes! thanks guys, what it was is, I had a big tunnel going down to my tomb, just for looks, and I guess it didnt like the length of my "e" button thing.

thanks!

Well, I'm having this exact same problem. ANd have tried all the above.

I'm sure my compile is writng the .prt though.

Anyone any ideas. Could it be due to a couple of lightmap allocation erros I have?
