I had very similar problems myself and Scillman helped me a great deal in working through them.

Check this thread http://www.modsonline.com/Forums-top-94281.html

If all else fails, feel free to PM me. I'd be more than happy to take a look at your map file and see what I can do.

Cheers

i believe my files are correct...i have no idea what to do...frustrating!!

edited on Feb. 19, 2009 12:56 am by nubby

there is one thing that is pretty funny...when compiling, if i have the BSP info checked and compile, it doesnt build the fastfiles...if i uncheck BSP info it does build the fastfiles....but the fastfiles are already built and not understanding why the map gets stuck after the activision logo goes away

heres what it says on the BSP info, dont know if it means anything...not worries about the normal errors...just the "buffer for lump 40 is too small

hey this keep happing to me and what i found was it was one of my blockers ,i
copyed, and moved, and this crap started
if i removed all the blockers it ran again ,might try that by ,
#1 select all blockers that you have added last
#2 open new map from your map with them selected and copy selected name it my blocker "or whatever"
#3 dont move anything in the map and you will be able to add it back with out hasle of replaceing each one
#4 reopen your zombie map remove the blockers that you just copyed "you have save them in different maps and can read them"
#5 compile and test map see if its blockers that are the cause of the black screen, it happen to me many times, when we were first trying to get blockers to work

as far as i see everything looks right ,

edited on Feb. 19, 2009 10:41 am by COLMAC

yeah had a feeling about those blockers...cuz before it all messed up, i added brushmodel clips that would move with the model when bought

just went ahead and deleted all blockers and recompiled, still no fix...

got an idea maybe
what about the location of the fastfiles? ill post the directories in which i find them

1.) C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\usermaps\nazi_zombie_bod

2.) C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\mods\usermaps\nazi_zombie_bod

3.) C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\usermaps\nazi_zombie_bod

4.) C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\mods\usermaps\nazi_zombie_bod

help anyone?

still not working...have already tried rebuilding files about 10 times, and deleting everything but my skybox, light grid, walls, floors, roofs, stairs, window prefab, lights, reflection probes, weapons w/triggers, and a few static models....dont know where to go or what to do??

even tried copying and pasting all items into a new map and building new files, but to no avail...the first time i compiled, popped up a d3dbsp error sayin to rebuild the fastfiles for the bsp, but when recompiled and tested, had a black screen again and had to ctrl+alt+del my way outta codwaw...cpu usage high, with codwaw being 50%
