Source SDK GMOD map not compiling.

[Cartographer]

I've been messing around with source sdk making GMOD maps. At first everything was fine just configed everything (later to find out it doesnt really matter) and got all set up and started making some basic things like boxes with a few spawns. Recently when I Run (F9) my project Garry's Mod will open but it just brings me to the title screen. I hadn't had this problem before and I'm not quite sure how or why it started.... Heres the compiler message, feedback would be much obliged.

I can add configuration or any other info needed if asked.

[Zethin]

I'm not sure I understand the problem. You have it configured to run the game engine upon compiling? If so I'm pretty sure it's recommended to turn it off and just open it before compiling so you can load up the map upon finishing it.

Could you elaborate on the issue more?

[Cartographer]

Basically I've been following these tutorials on youtube. At first I could Run them and the maps would open in GMOD after I pressed F9. However now when I compile the map (aka press F9) GMOD opens but just goes to the title screen and doesn't open the map anymore.

Try changing:

c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\teddyyumyums\garrysmod\garry smod

to

C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\teddyyumyums\garrysmod\garrysmod (without a space in the last garry's mod).

Only thing I can think of that would break it.

[Cartographer]

Alright I'll try it, thanks

Yea I looked and the file didnt have a space there in all the directories i searched including my C drive.
I think what the problem is, is this warning message.

Warning: Couldn't open texlight file c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\teddyyumyums\sourcesdk\bin\o rangebox\bin\lights.rad.

I don't know what it means though.

The only problem I can see is that you might have the SDK configured wrong.
You don't need to have the SDK configured specifically for Gmod, you can map for gmod with any of the games. Those tutorials for gmod mapping are outdated. Open your map with the SDK's HL2 configuration and compile it without "load map when done" checked. The map should compile and save where the .vmf is, and should work in gmod.

Is the .vmf saved in "mapsrc" or "maps"? Im seeing mapsrc in the compile log.

That's not his problem. He wants it to load gmod upon compiling. Also, it looks like at the end

It copies to the garry's mod folder. That's where I said my fix comes in, removing the space to garry's mod as it might be an incorrectly configured path.

I read that somewhere, but when I go to the configure list I only have Counterstrike and TF2. I don't own Half Life 2 so would I need to buy it in order to get the config?

I do have it saved in mapsrc

it needs to be saved in "maps" for it to work.

[QUOTE=Diealready;35478022]it needs to be saved in "maps" for it to work.[/QUOTE]

I assume you mean,
Teddyyumyums/garrysmod/garrysmod/maps
Which I just tried and it still didnt fix the issue..

[IronPhoenix]

So...everyone has missed that he has a space in the map name.

Change box test, to box_test, or boxtest.

That's not an issue his end.
The forum does this when you paste large tracts of text.

See Iron Penis reply above.

[Cartographer]

Wow thanks guys I think that changing the name to box_test worked because now its compiling and opening in Gmod! I appreciate you all taking the time to help!

Nice disagree withered...kinda showed you eh :)
