Lighting Problems and Lack of Control

[ellacourn]

So, I decided to try to build a small yet simple level ( and when I mean simple, I mean four walls with a light and one team spawn à la "Your First Map" tutorial on the Valve Developer Wiki ) via the Hammer editor located in my "I:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\bin". I compiled the map with the settings of:

Run BSP * Normal
Run VIS * Normal
Run RAD * Normal
[X] Don't run this game after compiling
And an Empty Additional Game Parameters

I saved the map in my "I:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\maps" folder and compiled it. I had no compilation errors to speak of as I put it through Interlopers Compile Log Checker. So, I closed Hammer and ran the map via "map test_map" aaaaand...

There was no lighting. Like, at all. As in, the lighting I specifically put in there that should've shown up... Didn't. And even worse, I tried to select a class and it wouldn't work. As in, I couldn't even move the scout or shoot. I don't know what's happening with the map and I'm unsure if I did something wrong or not.

Any ideas?

Here's the compile logs:

Here's the actual console readout:

and here's a screenshot of what actually happened:

And yes, I know there was a similar problem found here: http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=22592 but I know that my issue seem to happen no matter how my brushes were orientated and my spawn point wasn't badly placed.

( Also, sorry for the rather strange way of posting these files... I'm new to this. )

You are probably spawning in the void. make sure that the spawn positions are at least 8 units from the floor.

Hey it worked! ( Well, it glitched out and quit to desktop but it worked!)
Thanks for the help.

You probably crashed to desktop due to an bug which annoys everyone of us.
If you load a map with the "map <mapname>" command, then you have to restart the game to use this command again or you crash :I
You have to change the map with "changelevel <mapname>" without disconnecting to main menu, to avoid crashes.
