"Windows Cannot Find the Specified File" Hammer Error.

[Owley]

Hi, I recently have been working on my first map, but whenever I click "Run Map" or F9 to compile it it comes up with the above error log. I have checked for any stray burhses and I have tried removing every single displacement in the map but nothing works. Before this it gave me the message that the map extents are too large.

Btw I tried it on SDK 2013 and on 2009 HL2
Here is the compile log:

You have a leak, which may have something to do with the issue :P Load up the point file (Map->Load Pointfile) and follow the arrow to find where the leak is.

Thanks, I found the leak, I put the map inside a large hollow box for now, but it still says "The system cannot find the file specified" When I try to compile in Hammer. I tried to compile in ValveBatchCompileTool (VBCT) (The one with the gui), but it says "VBSP* needs to be run FIRST!!" in red, If I disable all other things than VBSP in it then it says "VBSP - mode:crashed?" In red. Can I give you my vmf incase it is my sdk because I have no clue what is happening.

VBSP Needs to be run FIRST!!

HashVec: point outside valid range

You have a brush extending outside the valid map area. It's probably caused by the compiler trying to fix an invalid brush. You can try pressing Alt+P in Hammer, and checking for Invalid Geometry errors.

Thanks this works. For anyone else with the problem click "Map", "Load Pointfile", Then click no (Or Yes, not sure), Then go around and find a red line somewhere, that is the leak, fix it by placing a skybox block around your map and hollowing or just around the leak.

[Rectus]

Putting a box around the map is really inefficient. The proper way of dealing with a leak is to plug the hole it's leaking through. If it's going through a solid brush, it's either broken and should be remade, or bound to an entity (which doesn't block leaks).

Littlesackninja,
I'm trying to get into the map making business. Did you have to do something before they would allow you to download Hammer. When I try, it just tells me not available.

It comes free with just about every Source Engine game, you can download SDK 2013 if you don't own a Valve game though. In the future please make a new thread rather then hijacking someone else's please :)

Go to the Valve Game from Steam<SteamApps<Common<(Game)<Bin. For CS GO, you have to buy a Alternate authentication tool. Find the Hammer Editor in Bin.

go to Map - Check For Problems. maybe you have weird brush
