well, after cross referencing it with mine, it seems like you don't have the proper configuration settings, which are set under tools > options.

I think the "hammer information roundup" thread covers this, if not I'm in the chat all day, so feel free to stop by (I'm E-S there, not Entropy Soldier)

Ok; I got something new here. I copied what Dragonsbrethen had in the "Hammer Information Round Up" thread and got this compile log.

Code:

** Executing... ** Command: Ã�ê ** Parameters: \GOLDEN~1 -wadinclude GE.wad * Could not execute the command:    Ã�ê  \GOLDEN~1 -wadinclude GE.wad * Windows gave the error message:    "Access is denied." ** Executing... ** Command: Ã�ê ** Parameters:  c:\PROGRA~1\VALVEH~1\maps\GOLDEN~1 * Could not execute the command:    Ã�ê   c:\PROGRA~1\VALVEH~1\maps\GOLDEN~1 * Windows gave the error message:    "Access is denied." ** Executing... ** Command: Ã�ê  ** Parameters: c:\PROGRA~1\VALVEH~1\maps\GOLDEN~1 * Could not execute the command:    Ã�ê   c:\PROGRA~1\VALVEH~1\maps\GOLDEN~1 * Windows gave the error message:    "Access is denied."

Ok; so I guess something else went wrong. Do I need to delete my current user file or something? Because I have a computer_administrator user on my computer. However I cannot access it or log on to it for some odd reason; I never had a password set for it.. so.. idk

If you never set a password try the password "admin". There is also a way to change it using command prompt that I can tell you if you like. PM me if you need to change the password of the admin account.

Compile Log for E-S

Due to problems with my internet browser and Java support; I kind of lagged out of the IRC Chat a few minutes ago; sorry about that E-S.

But; for some odd reason the set up editor couldn't read my textures, I think I may come back to this when I my head is a bit cleared; everything is way to cluttered right now.

now im not sure exactly what the problem might be. it seems your past the stage of 'program file' privilages. Hittin myself now why i didnt think of that since that seems to be a problem with everything i do with vista

SolidBSP [hull 0] 128 (0.02 seconds) Warning: No entities exist in hull 0, no filling performed for this hull SolidBSP [hull 1] 134 (0.00 seconds) Warning: No entities exist in hull 1, no filling performed for this hull SolidBSP [hull 2] 134 (0.02 seconds) Warning: No entities exist in hull 2, no filling performed for this hull SolidBSP [hull 3] 132 (0.02 seconds) Warning: No entities exist in hull 3, no filling performed for this hull 0.13 seconds elapsed

During the compile process it needs to figure out what is the inside of the map and what is the outside to do the bsp calculations. This is usualy done with entities. So just try placing any entity in your map, on the inside of gaming space. Thats why if you make a level that has no leaks but an entity is outside the level, it will look as if the level has a leak cause the entity it checks is outside.

and because it doesnt no what is inside or out, it will not generate a portal file which is why you get this error

Error: Portal file 'c:\PROGRA~1\VALVEH~1\maps\GOLDEN~1.prt' does not exist, cannot vis the map

try placing an entity in the map, that might solve your problem

[Camaro]

I've had problems with placing an entity in maps and all maps without one always compiled flawlessly. I don't think the program knowing what is inside and outside is too big of an issue, is it?

well, i don't usually do it myself, but it basically gets rid of all the tri's out side of the map.

So, if your map is built with a lot of textured areas outside of the viewed area, it would be wise to do it.

Chances are your geometry isn't being optimized at all in that case. It needs the entity to know where the inside is, so that anything outside of that space can be removed. You should be getting an error message if you have entirely enclosed space(s) and no entity in it.
