Hammer Keeps not responding when I run the map

[Dakotah Hutchinson]

You got portal and point files mixed up. In fact, @Dakotah Hutchinson 's problem is probably that there is a leak, or at the very least that VVIS didn't run for whatever reason. I'd suggest that you check your computer log for anything that looks like

*** LEAKED ***

in your compile log. If you find that (or even if you don't), then I'd suggest attempting to load a point file (not a portal file) and following the red line that appears and sealing the map so the line doesn't go into the void (you can also use the cordon tool, which is faster and easier for in-development maps, but you shouldn't come to rely on it)

oh I'm getting confused, my issue is the blue lines, that shows optimization, also whenever I load my map is reverts to a old save

Ignore everything I said in my last post, Narpas is right. I got confused. You probably actually do have a leak, otherwise you would have a portal file.

So even a small part of the map opening can cause the Portalfile to stop?

Yes, even the tiniest opening will break it, because VBSP will attempt to try and fill the void with visleaves, which is impossible.

Ok I am so confused now, I made a box around the map to test this and it still takes me to my folders

Can you post your compile log?

So the actual actual problem is that you have too many brushes in your map.

So Are brushes like the boxes

and should I func_detail it

 

[Da Spud Lord]

Yes, the brushes are the boxes you create and modify to make your map. func_detailing brushes won't help; you need to delete some of your brushes.

Ok so I reverted to a save without the added things and it still gives me the folder stuff

Compile log?

Whoops I missed your post, but I did see it and I tried that, I went back to a earlier save and it loaded the point file and the red line goes right through a wal

Compile log?

And now I can't get the compile because when I fixed the hole in the other map (Secondary map had a big open part were I was designing) and now it won't load, I honestly got no Idea what to do anymore.

Why does it take me to the folder, for point or portal, its so frustrating.

 

[Tuaam]

How do I change it to func_detail and how do I use the frontlines one I tried to get it but I couldn't fogure that out

Well anyways if you want the full library of frontline props you need to (a) install the frontline pack, and (b) go to the prop library located in either /mapsrc or another location in your tf2maps directory. Unfortunately I don't have tf2 installed, so I can't really help there.
