* Windows Gave The Error Message:

<div class="IPBDescription">"Access is denied"</div> Ok, Ive been working on my map fine for some two months or so, its been working fine no problems. Everytime I compile it it works showing all the new changes. But at some point it stopped working, I never noticed it cause since I had been loading it under the same name the whole time it was loading the old map. I finally noticed when I added an entire room rather then changing existing ones, the room wasnt there! After I looked around a bit I noticed some of my stuff hadnt changed either. So I change the name of the map and try compiling it, no go, it doesnt even compile since it cannot read even the old map after i added testzing to the end of it. So seeing how i had a major problem on my hands I checked the Compile Process Window, low and behold there was a nice little error message.

* Could not execute the command:
Copy File "C:\games\Sierra\Half-Life\ns\maps\ns_testzing"
* Windows gave the error message:
"Access is denied."

Now I look through the Compile Process Window quite often (about every other time i compile[I test alot]) And that had been the first time I have seen that, so its not some misc. error that just hangs around.

This is also what it said it the log when I have been trying to test ns_testzing

now i took out all of the useless information about it descibing zoners halflife tools and stuff to cut down the size but that is all it basically said.

Now does anyone know wth is going on and how to fix it?

    Ok, Since no one Can say anything in here I'm going to post this in the main mapping forum.

    i would guess teh problem comes fro the fact taht you file you are copying has no extention. thus there is no ns_testzing only an ns_testzing.map make sure you are using a file extension on yor copy command.

    other sources can be file is in use but unlikely here, as you shoudnt be modifying it. the other choice is batch compiling which is th end result of the last thread on this but i think its a file name issue

    Urgh. Read the stuff in the main forum, i'm not a big fan of posting in both areas.

    Are you running CSG before you try to run BSP? It's not going to find the face definitions (p0 file) if they don't exist.
