    I wanted to go ahead and post. I've seen this question often on the IRC channels so I'm going to write up a guide for this tonight. I'll post here in a little bit.

    dunno what that error is but something i found out

    when you compile with steam the .bsp saves in your

    F:\Steam\SteamApps folder as your email address for example blah@hotmail.bsp

    Moved the Guide to the newbie mapping forum. I'll update that version. Here's a link.

    Removed the version posted here to keep from confusing people when one is updated and the other forgotten :-)

    What's happening is that Hammer and messing up all the file paths and parameters that it sends to the tools and trying to use the short file name. This messes up the first compile tool and in turn messes up all the following ones. Try following my guide and that should fix it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, I'll compile my maps into the SIERRA directory, just because I'm used to it and I don't really care for steam. The main reason I compile it is to run though it, test some things, maybe buttons, weld points, stuff like that. If I want to play it with some friends, I just move the .bsp from the SIERRA dir to the Steam dir. Nice and simple. I like it this way.

    NOTE: Doing it this way will not run combat maps, as I have NS 2.0 in the SIERRA dir.

    Make sure Use Long filenames is checked for each of the lines in the compile options.

    Also make sure you don't type everything enclosed in quotation marks (or ? marks like the first copy I posted had for some reason)

    That could also cause errors.

    Just to sorta close this thread since it's done here's a link to my Guide to set up Hammer with Steam here under the newbie mapping forum where it sorta fits better <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
