Cannot suddenly open my map. - Developers

My hammer is crashing. I didnt edit anything, it worked perfectly last night. Anything that could make this happen? I only made a new gmod configuration because my old one wasnt there for a reason. These are my settings: [B]Its on Source Engine MP;[/B] [URL="http://www.siz.co.il/"][IMG]http://up353.siz.co.il/up2/wvjgmmom2ddy.png[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://www.siz.co.il/"][IMG]http://up353.siz.co.il/up2/mzoxwlwziijf.png[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://www.siz.co.il/"][IMG]http://up353.siz.co.il/up3/mzymyhkvmdmx.png[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://www.siz.co.il/"][IMG]http://up353.siz.co.il/up2/1znjdxehmnuz.png[/IMG][/URL] And boom, a crash.

Decompile your bsp file OR open the vmf in a notepad and delete the cordon entity at the last line.

[QUOTE=RedNinja;35825185]Not BSP, its VMF. And what do you mean?[/QUOTE] open it in txtedit and delete the entity in the last line also we have a megathread for these questions

Why have you scribbled out the vmf name? It's not like you haven't made it obvious what you are working on. Hmm...the last word is copy...

Hmm...the last word is copy...[/QUOTE] Yeah its a backup of the original map. EDIT: I've done what everyone said and it went now to the line before, 169161, saying unexpected end, like the errors at the OP, just with the diffrent line. [editline]4th May 2012[/editline] Anyone?

I might be able to fix it if you send me the vmf

[QUOTE=GameDev;35827103]I might be able to fix it if you send me the vmf[/QUOTE] Sent you a PM.

i was kidding i wanted to see what the vmf name was :v:

what is it

[QUOTE=GameDev;35827320]i was kidding i wanted to see what the vmf name was :v:[/QUOTE] Oh thanks... [QUOTE=TCB;35827477]what is it[/QUOTE] That line is simply a }, or if u meant to the vmf, i'm not telling.

[QUOTE=IronPhoenix;35827517]Considering that you have been using prefabs and models ripped off sites, it should be called frankenstiens_monster.[/QUOTE] I see nothing wrong in using released models / prefabs in my map. If i find a model i needed, it is way more simple using it rather than creating it, but of course, i'm making sure it is released / i have a permission. You all were starters in mapping once, and i'm pretty sure that most of you used prefabs when they just started, and damn Iron, i highly doubt that you use only your own models only on your map, also considering you're using hammer, which isnt yours... Why arent you just making a new version of hammer, a version exclusive to you? If the prefab is released to the public, i'm pretty sure its ok using it.

youre a fucking idiot

[QUOTE=TCB;35827639]youre a fucking idiot[/QUOTE] I, as a non-wizard, kindly disagree with you but still respect your opinion.

I try my hardest to only use base props contained in the engine i am making the map for. The problem with using prefabs is that they do not match your style of mapping, nor can you match the architectural factors of the prefab. I don't have a problem totally with the use of prefabs, i more have a problem with new mappers using that as an excuse to fill a map with content that isn't made by them. As we discussed in pm, there is nothing wrong with making a bad first map. You don't have to release every map you make, and it is better to make a few poor maps, then to just start thinking that customs make maps better, so even if the the bits you make look bad, it's ok as you can ride off the fact that you have custom props. So far, i have seen none of this work, you are keeping it all close to the chest, which either means that it looks really good because none of the work is your own, or its a really shit hash job.

You could either reply with a helping comment, or just not comment. Was this post really necessary? Why did we have to get offtopic?

I guess this is the only attitude they get.[/QUOTE] You will find i have a lot less attitude for those that accept that they aren't the best mapper in the world because they can download props. I made a cutting remark, you gave me attitude. Did you not expect a larger post back?

You're just coming here and ruining my thread with your stupid jokes which are not quite funny at all.

[QUOTE=RedNinja;35827941]I wouldnt mind you being sarcastic, yet helping. But you're not. You're just coming here and ruining my thread with your stupid jokes which are not quite funny at all.[/QUOTE] The first was a bit of cynicism, i haven't made any other jokes. Unless you count that if somone claims they are a sarcastic person, are they merely being sarcastic. I suspect that to find that funny (which i do) you probably also enjoy the phrase "everything i say is a lie". Facepunch is a bunch of people who are honest about other people's work. So far, all i have seen from you is requests for models, and asking about how to swap 114 models with 114 different models in a prefab. I have not seen any ingame screens, or even any in hammer screenshots. Look at my posts...they are all honest representatives of the persons work. So far, all i have with yours is what my imagination conjours up.

And please stop stalking me.

[QUOTE=RedNinja;35828080]Its pretty hard to believe that you're mapping for only a month. I am. Now, i think i'm done here. Good night. And please stop stalking me.[/QUOTE] Actually i've been mapping for six years. Not constantly of course...i'm not sphinxa. We have all been there though. I never had the urge to replace my brushwork with someone elses though. As for the stalking, well, you were the one to send the first pm saying that you thought i was the greatest mapper on here. In case you forgot: [quote]How could i replace for example all models(models/props/de_inferno/ClayOven.mdl) in map to models/props/de_inferno/clock01.mdl? How could i do that? I'm asking you since i think you're [b]one of the best mappers out there[/b], and noone answers me. [/quote]

I never said greatest, from what i can recall. Besides, how is that stalking?

How is replying to your attitude stalking.

[QUOTE=IronPhoenix;35828140]How is replying to your attitude stalking.[/QUOTE] Everywhere i go, whatever i post, no matter what section, you must reply to me.

[QUOTE=RedNinja;35828151]Everywhere i go, whatever i post, no matter what section, you must reply to me.[/QUOTE] Does that mean that whenever i throw a whale at someone on steam, that constitutes stalking? You will find that i reply to a lot of people. You aren't special...
