Something that wasnt noted in the picture was zhlt.wad not in there.. but it is now.
That is the location to my .wad files and it is CORRECT and this is the error im recieving when i tyr to compile my map

Warning: Wad file '\steam\steamapps\erraticsins\half-life\ns\ns.wad' not found
Warning: Wad file '\steam\steamapps\erraticsins\half-life\ns\ns2.wad' not found
Error: Could not open wad file \steam\steamapps\erraticsins\half-life\ns\ns.wad
Error: Could not find WAD file
Description: The compile tools could not locate a wad file that the map was referencing.
Howto Fix: Make sure the wad's listed in the level editor actually all exist

Error: Could not open wad file \steam\steamapps\erraticsins\half-life\ns\ns2.wad


I dont know what could be causing this error besides maybe I have ZHLT and Hammer installed on My C drive and not on my F drive with steam, but that would just be stupid if that was the case


I also noticed in the log the the warnings only start at \steam
and they dont start at F:\

could this be the problem? but from the picture its clear that it starts in my F drive..
Itried ti compile using aHL Batch Compiler and still got the same error, any suggestions on how to fix thiis would be appriciated.

    It's appears to be dependant on the location of the *.map file. this is the format inside the *.map file:

    "wad" "\steam\steamapps\youraccount\half-life\ns\ns.wad"

    Meaning that it will look on the drive where the map is located (in your case c:) and then will look in the directories set in the *.map file -->

    c:\steam\steamapps\youraccount\half-life\ns\ns.wad

    Which is the wrong location. To fix it simply copy the map file anywhere you want on the same drive as the wad files (steam install)

    Simple yet annoying <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
