vbsp.exe crashes

[Terrorist5150]

Whenever I compile my map lately, It starts, then I get a message saying vbsp.exe has crashed, the compile windows stays open, then is done, but when I go and test my map in TF2, It's the same as when it was last sucesfully compiled. Here's this if it's of any help:

Use this tool when you have compiling issues

Hammer compiler crashing isn't uncommon, it just doesn't want to refresh the compile window, so it says "not responding."

For you, since vbsp is crashing, it can't make a new map (basically) because something is preventing it from doing so. Looking at your log it looks like you have a leak. Go to map > load pointfile. A red line will appear, if you follow it, it will lead THROUGH the hole in your map that leads to the void. Plug that up, recompile, check again until all leaks are pluged (You will get a window that is asking you to open a .lin file. this means you have no leaks).


Another reason could be that you have an invalid solid, if you have made any wedges lately or triangular shapes with the vertex tool, it will sometimes make an invalid solid.

Hope that helps.

And if vbsp is crashing on a map that previously compiled without any problems, reinstalling SDK on steam worked for me.

 

[Vincent]

Well for one thing, you have a leak. Fix it.

By the way, you pasted your compile log all wonky. Vrad is posted in that twice, its like two fused together compile logs.

I deleted the leaks, when I load up the line, it takes me under the map, where nothing is at. I DID make a ramp yesterday, but I deleted it because it didn't fit the area I was working on. And vbsp is still crashing. I'm lost here...

vbsp happens twice, once for LDR and once for HDR. That said, he could have just pasted this from his log file in which case it saves all the compiles of a single version into a single text file. So the file would contain several compile logs.

If an object leaks deleting it will not fix it. You have to seal the hole to the void. Otherwise a different entity will leak in its stead. A leak is a hole in your map to the void outside, the compiler finds the closest entity to the void when it detects the leak and uses it as a point of reference so that you can find the hole and seal it later.

I said vrad, not vbsp. I threw it into interlopers and it said "Vrad happened twice, this makes no sense make a new compile log".

I'm just going off what the checker said.

 

[Terrorist5150]

I still had leaks when I was compiling it sucesfully, but are you sure it's leaks? I took care of them and vbsp still crashes and doesnt compile...

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Yea, you can compile with leaks.

Have you done any optimization?
Also, you can pop into chat and PM me on steam I can help more directly.

Sorry, typo. I meant vrad.

 

[Vincent]

Sorry, typo. I meant vrad.

Tis' fine. What I mean though, by happening twice, it did the lighting 4 times. Meaning he has the copy of his log all broke as I said. I don't know though.

Could you post a recent compile log that isn't wonky?
