Strange Compile Error

[[XFunc]CaRteR]

I'm trying to compile my map and for some reason it writes itself then can't find where it put itself. Then it gives me a "Windows can't find file" error and stops the compile.

Here's the compile text...

Your real problem is this.

Since vbsp fails, it doesnt create the file that the other compile tools use, thus creating the file error.

thats the problem, you've made a displacement an enitiy. This sometimes happens by mistake when yuo func_detail something then make it a displacement later, or you haven't yet made this mistake so you don't know about it.

If you have no idea which displacement is an entity use the visgroups (topright corner) to turn off everything except the displacements, select all of them, then hit the "to world" button (middleright) to turn them all back into normal brushes.
If you do know which one it is, just slecet it and hit the 'to world' button

Edit: oh, and there is no way around this, you just have to accept displacements can't be made brushes
