Can't find .bsp after I compile :/ - Developers

Okay, so I just added something new to my map, I compile to test it, and usually the .bsp saves to my desktop. But it didn't for some reason and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Someone help?

Is the .vmf on your desktop? If so, post the compile log.

Post the compile log [editline]02:58PM[/editline] VBSP is encountering an error that stops it from compiling your map.

You have displacement faces textured with nodraw, fix those first.

[QUOTE=Jukka K;17086487]You have displacement faces textured with nodraw, fix those first.[/QUOTE] Fixed, but still won't make the .bsp :X

Goto "Map->Check for problem" See if there is someting like "Invalid structure" and click "fix".

Also the check for problems came up with no errors :<

Displacement 2 has bad geometry near -1024.00 -632.00 42.46 Delete it

I had the same problem just now, I fixed it by putting all the map inside a nodraw box, but dunno, my map was fully made out of displacements.

[QUOTE=Nerdeboy;17087211]Displacement 2 has bad geometry near -1024.00 -632.00 42.46 Delete it[/QUOTE] But I have only 1 displacement :X

[QUOTE=slashsnemesis;17088185]But I have only 1 displacement :X[/QUOTE] Go to those coordinates. Delete the displacement there. Or, repost your compile log.

[QUOTE=slashsnemesis;17087032]How would I fix this? Also the check for problems came up with no errors :<[/QUOTE] Either you have to run with vrad enabled (if you have it disabled) or you have to fix your directiories, or check the game cache, maybe you're missing the file?

[QUOTE=< Bird Poo >;17087221]I had the same problem just now, I fixed it by putting all the map inside a nodraw box, but dunno, my map was fully made out of displacements.[/QUOTE] u cant make maps with displacements only, if u can, can u tell me how? i'll give u a quarter

1 brush, select top face -> displace. Cordon box around it + compile. Voila 1 map. Won't work correctly, but you never said antyhing about that.

[QUOTE=metallics;17089930]1 brush, select top face -> displace. Cordon box around it + compile. Voila 1 map. Won't work correctly, but you never said antyhing about that.[/QUOTE] That's only gonna work if they make sure the cordon surrounds 0 0 0 on the grid.

[QUOTE=DanielPinoy;17089806]u cant make maps with displacements only, if u can, can u tell me how? i'll give u a quarter[/QUOTE] well, give me the right to place 6 normal brushes and 1 entity, so yeah, the rest can be all displacements but I don't know.. maybe carving the brushes can turn out to be more efficient

I can make a map with no brushes or entities.

[QUOTE=< Bird Poo >;17093460]well, give me the right to place 6 normal brushes and 1 entity, so yeah, the rest can be all displacements but I don't know.. maybe carving the brushes can turn out to be more efficient[/QUOTE] Hey I just got it you have no idea what you're talking about

[QUOTE=Nerdeboy;17095737]Hey I just got it you have no idea what you're talking about[/QUOTE] He was being sarcastic.
