Error When Compiling

[rakosmnjr]

When I compile my map I get this error:
[QUOTE]The command failed. Windows reported the error: "The system cannot find the file specified."[/QUOTE]

Here is my compile log (or at least what was able to get compiled)

I have checked all my paths for vbsp.exe, vvis.exe and vrad.exe.

I'm guessing it's an invalid brush. Try going to View > Go to brush number > Plug in "4536" and deleting it.

Brush 4536: FloatPlane: bad normal

Your brush needs to be remade. Go to view> Go to brush number

Ninja'd :ninja:

[rakosmnjr]

I fixed the brush but the .bsp still isn't being created when I compile the map.

[Firegod522]

Do you have any entities in your map?

[rakosmnjr]

I believe I only have "info_gamemode".

[Firegod522]

Place a info_player_start somewhere, and I hope you add lighting in your map, nobody likes fullbright maps.

[rakosmnjr]

Yeah forgot I had an info_player_start, but I'm going to add light once I get stuff working.

[Firegod522]

Is that long for it works now?

[rakosmnjr]

I wish it was. :(

[Firegod522]

Post the new compile log.

[rakosmnjr]

Well I can't post the new compile log because it freezes hammer when it tries to do the portal flow.

But I do think it is working now. I had looked at it again before you posted and had to delete a couple more bad brushes.
