• Compiling error "Access is denied"
    3 replies, posted
A while back, my expert compile commands for Hammer were cleared for some reason when Hammer crashed. I've copied over some of the commands from the Source Engine MP Branch that seemed to have my commands. Everything works find except I get a file error from windows: [CODE] ** Executing... ** Command: Copy File ** Parameters: "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\sourcemods\cloned cube\mapsrc\training1.bsp" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\sourcemods\Cloned Cube\maps\training1.bsp" * Could not execute the command: Copy File "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\sourcemods\cloned cube\mapsrc\training1.bsp" "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\sourcemods\Cloned Cube\maps\training1.bsp" * Windows gave the error message: [B] "Access is denied."[/B] ** Executing... ** Command: "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\[I]username[/I]\portal\hl2.exe" ** Parameters: -dev -console -allowdebug -game "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\sourcemods\Cloned Cube" +map "training1" [/CODE] I'm not sure if this is the fact that my mod uses capitol letters for Cloned Cube, causing a file error or something else.
Check the properties of the file (training1.bsp) to see if it is not set to read only. If this was the first compile of the map, it could have been created for what ever reason with the read only properties enabled. If that is not working, try compiling with the parameters cleared and then slowly add them back, one by one.
Are you running Steam as an administrator? If not, do so. That's what caused mine to happen awhile back.
[QUOTE]c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\sourcemods\Cloned Cube\maps\[/QUOTE] This folder is likely set to read only. Double check it.
