Won't compile - "WAD file not found"... what the.. ?

Hey guys,

I made a test map, very small, simply to get myself accustomed to the size relation of the map and the player. However, I can't even get the thing to compile. I'm using the newest ZHLT set from Valve's Collective website. I used all the default settings.

I've checked the path of these wad files over and over, and they ARE there. I Browse to them in the Hammer options, and directly click on it. The files are there!

And yet, I keep getting this:

hlcsg v2.5.3 rel Custom Build 1.7 (Dec 9 2002)

Howto Fix: Make sure the wad's listed in the level editor actually all exist

How do I fix this?

Try putting a copy of your wads in your 'valve' folder. That sometimes works for me.
