I am considering shooting myself. Yet again I get BSE.

Here's the map file, if you can salvage it I'd really appreciate it.

Oh, BTW it's co_rats!!!

    Trust me, it isn't that simple to fix.

    Thanks for the link but it doesn't help me. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    EDIT: Nothing is scaled above 10 and nothing shows up in the errors dialog.

    It compiled fine for me, until it tried to load and reported not having file models/co_rats/chair1.mdl.

    Yea, ick, it needs those models, but of course it compiled fine, BSE isn't a compiling error it's a runtime error generated by HL.exe Also, I've read tommy14's description of it many times, it does not help me.

    Once I removed the cycler entities, the map loaded and ran perfectly for me. Perhaps the models are causing HL to keel over and die?

    Seriously? I still get BSE even after removing the Cycler Entities... this is bizarre.

    Problem solved, this makes sense too...

    you see I have my STEAM Directory on a G:\ drive and my map files on a J:\ drive and this was confusing the engine, so it didn't load any textures at all and for some reason that showed up as Bad Surface Extents. Ugh, I'm so going to bed now, thanks for the help everyone!!

    DarkATi, just incase, do be a good lad and make sure you aren't fitting textures to faces after selecting 1 unit wide brushes <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Bring up the texture tool FIRST, select only the faces you want to change, then click fit. If you try to do it to the top, bottom or sides you are going to blow up the compiler up as it tries to figure out how to fit a 256 pixel texture (subdivided into 2 polygons) into the space of 1 unit...
