I was about to post on here when I discovered the solution myself... so here it goes.
I was mapping along, hit the compile and about 5 seconds in I got
The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified."
The map wouldn't compile. Other maps had no problem compiling, so I tried to think of what could be the cause.
The I found this line in the compile log right before I posted on here
Overlay touching too many faces (touching 145, max 64)
Overlay signs/arrow_lt_red at 96.0 3196.0 -2052.0
And I found the problem. I had an overlay on the "floor" brush, which touched a huge number of other brushes of course. So somehow by extension, that overlay was touching those brushes also:blink:.
Anyway, I removed those overlays and of course it compiles fine:glare:. And here I thought Hammer was broken.
Just thought I'd share this in case anyone else runs into the same problem.
Here the entire compile log if anyone's interested
