Hammer crashes when loading my map

Postby captaindefect on Tue Jul 16, 2013 10:13 pm

Map was working fine yesterday, and I started making changes today, compiled it, and noticed that the 'new' version of the map didn't actually load up. I made sure the directory was right, and still, same thing. I close hammer and reopen the file and it crashes. Any ideas? When I ran the compile log through the error checker I only got a "node without a volume error"

Here's the compile log:

Here's the vmf: (Sorry, too big for pastebin)

1. Can you not open the map in any editor?
2. Opening the file crashes the Hammer? Do you have older versions?

I'm going to take a look at the .vmf.

I can open it in notepad ++ if that counts :/ haven't tried any other editor.

Threw me an error on line 229983 which translates as "OnTrue" "red,AddOutput,"OnPressed" "Relay_button_red:trigger:0:0:1",0,-1"
See what happens when you remove the entity from 229977 to 229997.

...and that fixed it. Huh. Thanks. I've never used the addoutput function before, but wanted to make a logic puzzle. Guess I did something wrong.

New for me too. Glad to know if I fuck something up so horribly I can fix it with Notepad.

Know anywhere I can find a good tutorial for map-based puzzles? I just want three buttons that have to be hit in a certain order.

Browse around the tutorials on Interlopers and modify if need be.
There's also http://www.halfwit-2.com/?page=tutorials
And of course the http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/ never fails with useful info.
Trial and error my friend, trial and error. Report back if nothing works or you FUBAR.
