Error when I try to 'run map'.

Araluex · Oct 18, 2015

Hi,

For some reason I'm getting this error message when I try to run my map: https://gyazo.com/5d349b3cba87132af0476832004945b3

Can anyone help?

Just saying, those skyboxes look messy. Also its better to have them just around the outside areas of the map, and not too far out. I know it doesn't answer your question but its just some general advice for you.

VBSP isn't finishing up the compile process due to some error. VVIS can't find the bsp file, so it can't compile. VRAD can't find the same bsp file so it also can't compile.

First, you have some material called CUSTOM_MINECRAFT/PBD_PLANK that VBSP can't find, so make sure that that's also fixed (see the Material not found!: CUSTOM_MINECRAFT/PBD_PLANK error).

But it's this guy that screws it up in the first place: "Find Visible Detail Sides...Bad detail brush side"

According to interlopers.net/errors (which you should use before posting compile logs) is that you have multiple incompatible tool textures (hint, skip, nodraw, trigger, etc) on one brush. Fly around your map a look for one (or multiple) brushes that have these textures on them, then recompile.

Find Visible Detail Sides...Bad detail brush side

This is causing it to fail. Check alt+p for errors. You might have a small brush marked as func_detail that is too small for compiler to understand or any other small brush.

I'm having this same problem where it can't find the file specified, I think I see some brushes that might be causing the problem. What exactly do I do to them? The brush texture seems to always be darker than the identical brush texture next to it and I cant ctrl alt the brighter texture over. i don't know if this is actually the problem though.

heh, no don't worry about that. When you set your 3d view to "3D shaded textured polygone" it makes faces which face in certain directions darker, so it's easier to see in a map full of dev-textures. Set the view to "3D textured" if you don't want this effect. Naturally this has no effect on the compile.

Alt+P is your friend here, it's the problem solver. Although the compile log usually says what failed with VBSP which is almost always the reason why "Windows can't find the file specified".
