Compiling Issue

[Rainbow Unicorn]

So i am working on my first map, and i have a little issue.
Map in Hammer looks different then in Game:

In Hammer:

In Game (Looks like my older save of this map):

Are any displacements tied to entities, use non-rendered materials or too big?

This means you have an error in your map that's causing the compile to fail. Since it can't create a new bsp, it loads the last successfully compiled bsp of the same name instead.

To find the error, scan through the first section of your compile log, starting with "Valve Software - vbsp.exe". This is the log for the part of the compile that actually builds your map, so things like leaks and major errors will be reported here. Look for the last line of this section before vvis.exe starts - this is where you'll find what went wrong.

If you're having trouble locating the error, or you don't know what to do with it, you can post the log here and I'll take a look.

Displacements aren't entities, waht do you mean "non-rendered or too big"?

I think i just used too much displacement

You have at least one leak here. This won't cause a compile to fail, but it should be fixed regardless (to improve optimization and lighting). If you open the pointfile (Map > Load Pointfile) it will draw a red line from the entity to the hole so you can find it and patch it up.

Placing detail props : 0...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9..Error! Too many detail props emitted on this map! (64K max!)n

Your guess is probably right. To fix this, you could either cut down on the amount of displacements, or use materials that don't emit detail sprites.

Ye, i used material, without sprites and it works! Thanks a lot!

WARNING: Map using power 4 displacements, terrain physics cannot be compressed, map will need additional memory and CPU.

This is an important problem as well, having a lot of difficulties related to collisions with ragdolls and objects. Open the 'Face Edit Sheet' tool (or press Shift+A), go to the 'Displacement' tab and change the Power's value to "3" and click on 'Apply', and later close the tool if you want to. Note that this step may change how the displacements' ground is "painted" with the Paint Geometry thing. If it breaks or doesn't look as good, you should probably Destroy it and re-do the painting.
