all i can get you is the BSP

Dr. Orange said:

It'd be much more useful to see the the contents of your lights.rad file. BSPs are almost never useful for troubleshooting. Though, have you tried recompiling your map with the updated compile tools?

Well, if you dont know that, you probably haven't modified it, and it likely isn't the problem. Once again, have you tried compiling with the updated compile tools? In addition to being more stable, they also provide better documentation if something goes wrong. Try compiling with them and see what happens.

i found a new lights.RAD, what do i do to it? p.s. i think the problem might be more than just the lights.rad since even with no lights or RAD on run, it still wont open the map. it just says

map change failed: 'level_1' not found on server.

in the console

it works!!! thank you!!!
