Half-Life

I need help with half-life sdk
So I've been making maps for half-life (goldsource) for a while, but all of the sudden, the maps aren't compiling right, here's what the compilation looks like for the thing I'm working on.

I also have an external hard drive (a small black brick that provides 2 terabytes of space) hooked up to the side of my laptop and I use half-life sdk version 3.4 if that's important.

There are your issue.

If you're using Half-Life SDK/VHE, just stop using that and use something more up to date like Jackhammer or Sledge. Both will make your life easier in building your world, fixing issues, etc.

Check that directory.

It's the messed up compilation for the map, but there is a URL that says to go to

http://www.zhlt.info/common-mapping-problems.html

but besides that it,s the compilation

Send me the .log file.

Have you got the full log as I cant see that hlcsg.exe hlbsp.exe have run.
Could it be that you unchecked them?

nah I just checked, there all checked, I've tried different compilation tools in the configuration setting but nothing works :(.

Assumptions. It's not complicated if you do things correctly.

There are your issue.

If you're using Half-Life SDK/VHE, just stop using that and use something more up to date like Jackhammer or Sledge. Both will make your life easier in building your world, fixing issues, etc.

Hammer works just fine if you know what your doing :steammocking:, but as Peter said your would be better off with jackhammer as it has a tool to help prevent invalid brushes, as well as an auto save function.

Get it here, then run check for problems on your map ALT + P or in Map menu, my guess is the map has been corrupted or is decompiled.

Thank you guys so much for the help, everything works great, and perhaps even better then what I used to use (is it sad that when I inserted an info_player_start and seeing its 3D Gordan Freeman player model in the 3D view window absolutely blew the brains out of my mind).

Oh hammer 3.5 has been able to show models for years, it just that valve have old versions in the SDK.
