You have no permission to copy the file...? :|

 

[ceriux]

iunno... i was just compiling and now it wont let me compile ne more after that one thing it says windows denys it or somethin...

 

[stevenlafl]

Are you an administrator user on your comp? File Acess being denied can sometimes be the result of readonly or the file is in use. I would recommend exiting 'explorer.exe' and then copying it with the command prompt, then start it back up. I'm unsure why explorer uses such files..but it pisses me off. It has no right to lock me out of a file it can't even use. I had a 0 byte file and it locked me out.

Anyways, thats my advice.

im the only account on my computer.... -.- could my fire wall be doing it, cause i never had it on bfore and i do now... its zonealarm it seems to stop EVERYTHING....

Firewall shouldn't od that, a firewall is only a logical wall between you and the internet that filters traffic, nothing more.

 

[ceriux]

yea that wasnt it i tryed... i even tryed uninstalled hammer and reinstalled it still does the same thing...

 

[Thothie]

Easy solution: Don't use hammer to compile.

I can't even see what it's doing there... Copy file "g:\foldername" - what file? Feh... Make your own batch file, and you can see what it's doing.

Eggiesampelah: makemap_slow.bat

@echo off
set WADROOT=g:\program files\Steam\SteamApps\username\dedicated server\valve
title Compiling %1.bsp
hlcsg -low "%1.map"
hlbsp -low "%1.map"
hlvis -low -full "%1.map"
hlrad -chop 128 -texchop 128 -low -extra "%1.map"
copy %1.bsp "g:\program files\Steam\SteamApps\username\half-life\valve\maps\%1.bsp"
copy %1.bsp "g:\program files\Steam\SteamApps\username\half-life\valve\maps\%1.pts"
copy %1.bsp "g:\program files\Steam\SteamApps\username\half-life\ms\maps\%1.bsp"
notepad %1.log
rem Pause and launch Half-Life for map test
pause
g:\program files\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 70 -game valve

usage:
makemap_slow testingmap

You would have to change the folder paths to the appropriate ones for your system, of course, this be just an example file, and to use this one, and the ZHLT tools would have to be in the folder it was launched from.

This may be harmless, and if no strange side effects are occurring, then
it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange
or obscure errors, consider this as suspect.

[J-M v2.5.5]

You need to grab Thothie's batch file and add -wadautodetect to CSG.

Enable automatic wad detection.

Automatic wad detection is a simple utility that will exclude any wadfiles from the bsp that aren't in use by the map. This enables you to add any assortment of wadfiles you wish, and yet only have those that are actually used by the map included in the .bsp file.

Like so:

@echo off 
set WADROOT=g:\program files\Steam\SteamApps\username\dedicated server\valve 
title Compiling %1.bsp 
hlcsg -low -wadautodetect "%1.map" 
hlbsp -low "%1.map" 
hlvis -low -full "%1.map" 
hlrad -chop 128 -texchop 128 -low -extra "%1.map" 
copy %1.bsp "g:\program files\Steam\SteamApps\username\half-life\valve\maps\%1.bsp" 
copy %1.bsp "g:\program files\Steam\SteamApps\username\half-life\valve\maps\%1.pts" 
copy %1.bsp "g:\program files\Steam\SteamApps\username\half-life\ms\maps\%1.bsp" 
notepad %1.log 
rem Pause and launch Half-Life for map test 
pause 
g:\program files\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 70 -game valve

You need to copy this text into Notepad. Next, you change the folder names to whatever they should be and then you must save it as a Batch file, makemap_slow.bat as Thothie suggested.

As the ZHLT Commands Page said, -wadautodetect tells CSG to only include wadfiles you've actually used textures from. So if you have no textures from lmtex.wad in your map, -wadautodetect and CSG will make sure the map doesn't try to load that texture file when you try to run the map.

On a side note: Why the fuck would you need 17 wadfiles? Seventeen! :|
