It isn't freezing, it's working just fine, only takes long to compile that's why hammer doesn't react, I suggest you'd compile with batch compiler. It keeps you up2date and doesn't freeze

I dont know what that is, but hes right, its not freezing. Just compiling. Those are the things that take the longest. Nothing is wrong...

no it actually freezes,, i go Ctrl+Alt+Del and it says hammer not responding.

CS mappers seeking help on Dod forums? World is finally on right track :):p.

that's normal murphy, like i said, get batch compiler, compiles way better and keeps you up2date, it's not responding because it's compiling.

What the hell are you talking about? me? a CS mapper, i freaking hate CS. I hope to hell you have me mixed up with someone else!
well thanks anyways Quakah

He was referring to these lines inyour config:

"c:\sierra\counter-strike\dod\larue.bsp"

The compile tools chew up memory like crazy and give every appearance of making your PC freeze. But they don't.

Download Batch Compiler here:

http://countermap.counter-strike.net/Nemesis/index.php?p=3

and use it to do your compiling rather than compiling out of Hammer (which still only acts as a front end to the separate compile tools anyhow).

Cheer up, you have converted yourself to right religion, even if you have first bought bought CS. :)

Yea dude it is normal for it to say not responding

Normal compiles of large maps usually take around an hour oto 2 hours on some systems so just let it do its thing

Leave it overnight or something and see how long the whole process took

He runs DoD off CS retail. And easy does it, CS is still a decent game.

Oh that's right, you DON'T have CS installed. I don't mind that you have CS installed, it's just your denial.

Just batch compile and use -estimate so you can be updated on the vis and rad compiling process, and btw stop the CS bashing, if you find a good solid server its fun....

hey all, Murphy was asking help on compileing a map, thats nothing to do with cs

just a fyi murphy, when a program in windows says it's not responding in the task manager, it doesn't mean that it's locked up. Windows can't tell the difference between a locked program and a program that's working it's butt off and can't answer a request from the OS :) When your compiling it will usually show as not responding cause it's working too hard on the compile to bother with anything else.

On another note, when it gets here do you end the process? If you do, how long do you wait? If I'm not mistaken, if you have complex brushes or bad brushes this is where it will take forever to compile or die with an error

on one of my maps the leaf thread took 40 mins, and there was no problems

i suggest u leave it over night, then u can see exactly how long each process takes.

ok thanks for all the responces.
on a side note, yes i bought CS thinking it would be half decent, after about 3 days it ended up as a drink coaster untill my brother enlightened my to the wonders of DoD 3.0, ive been hooked since.




LOCK THE THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The mapper is stopped in a crowded mappers forum by several DoD-hardend forum police who look over the CS code statement...An Emperial StarShip Trooper...ermmm...DoD Forum Police questions Luke...ermm Murphy



Forum Police: How long have you had these CS statements in your compile string?
Murphy: About three or four seasons.
FuzzDad: They're for sale if you want them.
Forum Police: Let me see your forum identification.


Murphy becomes very nervous as he fumbles to find his ID while FuzzDad speaks to the Forum Police in a very controlled voice.



FuzzDad: You don't need to see his forum identification.
Forum Police: We don't need to see his forum identification.
FuzzDad: These are not the CS Statements your looking for.
Forum Police: These are not the CS Statements we're looking for.
FuzzDad: He can go about his business.
Forum Police: You can go about your business.
FuzzDad: (to Murphy) Continue asking questions in the forum and move along.
Forum Police: Move along. Move along.

LMAO, nice 1 fuzz. good it was.

btw I am ur father

That's what I do. I kind of wish I had gotten half life though because I have only played like the first couple levels and its supposed to be the greatest game of all time and I think I am going to be a little lost in the story when I buy HL2. Oh well I still got time:rolleyes: .

please use the batch compiler.

Might fire it back up myself. Heck, I was running it on a Voodoo2 or something like that in glorious 640 x 480! No doubt it'll look a bit dated now after all the post-HL development of HL but playing it through will be a fun way to lead up to HL2.

Valve reckon you won't need to have played HL to understand what's going on in HL2, but you owe it to youself to play the original. Just keep in mind is was ground breaking 5 years ago and there's been a lot of water under the first-person shooter bridge since then . . .
