Urgent help!

[ominous22]

Hello Interlopers,

I have an odd error that I can't find any solutions for on the internet.

I've been mapping with source sdk 2013 and everything has been running fine so far, except suddenly when I try to run my map it wont update anything I've done in hammer.

I've noticed that when I click on run map, all of the default configurations are missing. I can only select default, which in itself is missing all of it's configuration settings. Selecting 'go' does nothing.

If I click on normal and then click run, the map loads but as I said before, nothing I have done in hammer updates into the map. Opening other levels I have worked on does not seem to allow me to run them normally either.

I have renewed the cache which did nothing, followed by re installing everything. Again, this did nothing.

HELP

[ominous22]

Sorry to bump guys,

Does no one have a solution? Have I explained this badly?

[marnamai]

What game/mod is it for?

Is there a leak in the map or a space in the map name?

[Major Banter]

Step one: Post compile log.

Step two: Post compile log.

Step three: Find out you've probably func_detailed a displacement.

edit: (Step zero, MajorBanter, step zero...) double check it's working on other maps, and I mean conclusively - make a simple box and see if it compiles and loads. If not, are you still running Hammer from the SDK Launcher? Get with the times and use the Source Singleplayer 2013 version.

[ominous22]

Marnamai, it is for Ep2.

There are no leaks according to the point file.

Major Banter, I am using Source singleplayer 2013.

I can't find any func_detailed displacements. No other maps I have made will update anymore either. I can compile any map if I click on normal rather than expert but Hammer refuses to update any changes I make to them, including a map I just made with a player_start in an empty room. I can run the level but once I am back in Hammer if I then add a light and re compile the map... no update.

I cannot select fast, HDR or final configurations before compiling, only default. Selecting default opens the compile log but nothing comes up at all. Like I have said, clicking on normal and run compiles my maps but they won't update

Just in case, compile log for my most recent map:

Thanks in advance guys.

[jimonions]

You have leaks.
Check these coords or enable pointfile.
Fix and keep recompiling until all leaks are gone.

entity prop_dynamic (2085.00 -6084.00 6.00) leaked!

[Major Banter]

Probably not the best example. That map has a space in its name and a leak - it's a miracle if that manages to compile anyway.

"LoadPortals: couldn't read c:\users\-\desktop\ice (2).prt"

This is because the map, as said, has a space in its name. No portal file was created by VBSP, so it's a dead compile before it even really gets going.

"Could not locate 'GameData' key in c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\half-life 2\ep2\gameinfo.txt"

Have you run Ep2 lately?

Leaks are huge problems in their own rights - use the Cordon tool whenever performing tests.

[ominous22]

Oh dear... my bad.

I have run it about 5 times in the last 2 days in case that was the problem. No avail. I even re-installed it.

[Major Banter]

For the record, don't bother reinstalling stuff until you've exhausted every other solution. Core games are very rarely the source of any problems.

[ominous22]

Ah, alright.

Thank you for your help so far Banter. P.s, Stroll looks beautiful.

[Major Banter]

Psh, say thanks when it's fixed!

Ty - hoping to release some news soon as well.
