Failed to run the created map... [SOLVED]
I created a CS:S map using Hammer from the bin folder then save as, then compile, then run game, then FAIL! H .E .L .P .


CModelLoader::Map_IsValid: No such map 'maps/mycss.bsp'
map load failed: mycss not found or invalid

it didn't compile, or it failed to copy the map to the proper location. check the compile output window for errors.

Post the whole log file, surely there's some error.

I'm guessing it's this problem:

[B.n.B] AlcyToronto Jul 9, 2014 @ 9:58am 
I don't think so, I also have that message but my maps are all working...
I don't see any problem in your logs, only (in the first one) the original folder is the same as the destination folder, did you save your vmf in "maps" folder?

[B.n.B] AlcyToronto Jul 9, 2014 @ 10:01am 
Another issue, sorry but I noticed it only now, is the space in the name file, that is not allowed. You must rename it MyCss_map. Probably this is the real problem! ;)
#7
Wazanator Jul 9, 2014 @ 5:03pm 
Yes most likely it's the space.

Jayrrod Jul 21, 2014 @ 11:12am 
This happened to me a few times. It could be a problem with the room. If there is a gap between walls that lets in the open space, it won't be able to run the map.

Nick_NT Jul 21, 2014 @ 11:20am 
Guys, it's solved and thanks to AlcyToronto and Wazanator for helping me!

8 years later. Had this same issue. Didn't even realize my map name had a space in it. I had been trying to fix this for several days.
