Is hammer deleting my map?

[Rogueleader]

First off im not a noob, i really dont know what is going on and i hope that you do.

Background:

I have compiled my map, looks good but there is still some things to change so i go back into hammer change the things the save it under a different name (this will somehow completely ruin the map).

So here is the map under a different name and for some reason during the saving hammer deleted most of the func_ from the map and changed them to regular brushes. Hammer deleted a couple of brushes as well.

Now ever time i compile another error comes up showing a brush number and what is going on.

Remember this map compiled fine before and all i have done is changed some angles and a couple of brushes.

Here is one of the many log's:

The command failed. Windows reported the error:
  "The system cannot find the file specified."

Please help me figure out why hammer changed so many things in my map.

This is likely your problem:

Brush 4780: MAX_MAP_PLANES
Side 3
Texture: TOOLS/TOOLSTRIGGER

VBSP is not generating the .bsp, thus you're receiving the subsequent errors in VVIS, VRAD, and the file copy. Locate brush 4780 and see what's wrong. If brush 4780 doesn't exist, take a look at the brushes you most recently changed.

I had this problem yesterday. It turned out that the team_control_point_master entity was inside a trigger_capture _area brush. That might be the problem for you.

 

[Rogueleader]

alright, i should have mentioned that every time i fix the

Brush 4780: MAX_MAP_PLANES
Side 3
Texture: TOOLS/TOOLSTRIGGER

i re run it and then it comes up with a new brush.


The functions are broken when they were not previously and all i have done is saved it as a different name.

 

[dirtyminuth]

Rogue, does the brush number change each time you fix the error? VBSP might prematurely halt before it finds all problem brushes.

 

[Rogueleader]

yes the brush number changes only when i fix the previous brush.

fixing the brush may be as simple as copying and repasting it, to completely remaking it
