You have the .bsp save to your desktop, change the save location of the .bsp to the half-life 2 episode two\ep2\maps folder and you will be good.

thx man

Shouldn't matter where it saves. My VMF's are in a file called "hammer files" on my E drive.

[QUOTE=IronPhoenix;18489068]Shouldn't matter where it saves. My VMF's are in a file called "hammer files" on my E drive.[/QUOTE] VMF is okay, BSP needs to be right.

Shouldn't need to...first compile log i brought up had run fine off desktop. Of course that was running into hl2ep2, not gmod where the configs are usually to blame for more of the problems.
