Hammer not compiling

Garry's Mod mapping
#1

I have made several maps in the past with no difficulty. This time I repeatedly get this error:
(The command failed. Windows reported the error: “the system cannot find the file specified.”)

Using the check for problems function it told me there was no player start, but there is.

Here’s the compile:

MAX_MAP_MODELS

Can’t say i’ve seen that before. You have too many of one prop type. (static, physics, dynamic, etc)

#3

I dont have any props at all. All I have is breakable glass and a skybox. I was remaking a map I found in cs 1.6 into css at the request of my brother

#4

how much breakable glass are we talking about?

and is it a bunch of brushes as func_breakable or a single surface as func_breakable_surf?

#5

a bunch of brushes forming a floor and walls. The purpose was to break the floor under the other player with smoke grenades. I found this map made for cs.1.6 and it was a blast so i tried to recreate it, or at least its functionallity.

MAX_MAP_MODELS

Basically, you hit the limit for brush based models. This is because every func_breakable is classed as unique, even if a whole bunch are identical. You could probably try making them as some sort of elements that are spawned with a point_template. This would mean that every part of the map that is identical to another would only need to be “modelled” once by VBSP, but spawned multiple times around the map.

#7

Might there be a way around this? If there isnt please elaborate

#8

He means make a point_template with all those glass things put as it’s templates. Then on a logic_auto, make the outputs: OnMapLoad (Or something like that) > point_template’s name > ForceSpawn. Something like that. Then you might have to set it so it does that every round.

#9

will they still break properly? And how should I go about linking them, can I just select them all?

#10

Um, open Point_template, there should be a bunch of template things. Put the names of the func_breakables in there.

Well, it’s like 12:40 here. I’m going to bed, I’ll help you later.
