Or it could have been set up properly but you experienced an error during compile, causing the BSP to not get generated in the first place. Check the folder and check your logs. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Is your map name have any spaces in it?

Is it like:
ns_spaced name?

or is it:
ns_no_spaced_name?

Your map name cannot be like "ns_spaced name" because HL can't find it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

nah it doesnt have any spaces in it.... yeah i think i havent setup my compiler properly and its not creating the *.bsp file.... i get this error from the log

entering C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\ns\maps\room.map
Error: Missing '[' in texturedef (U)
Description: The map has a problem which must be fixed

i have gone over my map (hehe one room but hey u got to start somewhere) and there doesnt seem to be any problems... think i might jsut go and reinstall everything and go through and set it up step by step and double check everything...

Cheers,

Grunt

PS: thx for ur replies

EDIT: ok i solved the problem... in the batch compiler under the hlfix tab i needed to select my WAD list... it was having problems finding what textures i was using cos it didnt know where to look for them... so yeah all fixed.

is the error left bracket "[" or right bracket "]"

If its right braket, export the map to .map then open it in note pad, and hit ctrl+end then add ]]]]]]]]]]]]]] to the end

save it

open the .map version of you map in hammer, and save it again as .rmf, complie, and see if the error comes back

if so, the add [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ to the very top of the .map - but adding [[[[[[[[[[[ will posibly stuff your map file up
