My Map Crashes HL2:DM

[MetricMoose]

I just made a small part of my map, a spawn area. I go to test it out after I compile it and the game crashes right before it would enter the map, getting the "HL2.exe has stopped working" popup from Windows 7.

[Nask]

Remove the "_" from map name and try again.

[Ddrl46]

Nask, that shouldn't be the problem. I've compiled hundreds of maps with a _ in the name using HL2:DM

[IronPhoenix]

[QUOTE=nask;18368588]Remove the "_" from map name and try again.[/QUOTE]

Doing that won't mean anything. You cannot have full stops or spaces in the name but underscores are fine.

[CommieTurtle]

It appears that you've got a bad skybox texture.
I ran your compile log through the interlopers.net error checker and it came back with the following:

[quote]
can't load skybox file skybox/sky_day01_01 to build the default cubemap!

Description:
You have entered a skybox texture which doesn't seem to be valid. Make sure you don't specify the last three letter (_UP, _DN, etc) of any skybox texture you use. You may also need to fix your vmt files if they are broken. It may also be caused by compiling a non-HDR skybox texture.

Solution:
Fix $hdrbasetexture errors first

no such variable "$hdrbasetexture" for material "skybox/sky_day01_01rt"

Description:
You have used a non-hdr skybox texture, while the compile tools expect a hdr skybox instead.

Solution:
Either make a HDR skybox, change your skybox to a HDR one or ignore this error. See below for a detailed fix.

Interlopers isn't the ultimate resource when it comes to error checking. His skybox in this instance is fine, that's just a generic error flagged up because the skybox textures are contained within the games gfc. Unfortunately you have to use some common sense and knowledge and check for yourself. There are no errors in your log that should cause a crash, have you got any entities causing this I wonder? See if vis-grouping out all point entities and then dropping in a single spawn point, recompiling and playing it fixes it. If so one of your entities has a keyvalue that's upsetting the game.

[MetricMoose]

That could be possible, I grabbed a spawn from another map after decompiling it, I'll try deleting and recreating it.

[editline]06:25PM[/editline]

Ha! It worked. I think the spawns had to do with it, I made some combine spawns and that crashed, though when I put in a info_player_deathmatch it worked.
