im not even using caen.wad
i even redid all my textures to be sure there wasnt one in there i didnt realize was there

make sure in hammer that its actually has the caen .wad in the textures section or else theres your problem

im not even using caen.wad
i even redid all my textures to be sure there wasnt one in there i didnt realize was there

i dont think you read my whole post

there isnt any textures from that wad on my map in the first place

this happened yet again

compiler asking for wads i dont even need cuz i didnt use any textures from them

made a whole new area(just a lttle box with a sky)and this time its looking for forest wad (AGAIN I DIDNT USE ANY TEXTURES FROM THIS WAD I CHECKED 3 TIMES)but i did have it in the list of wads
took it out of the list and it still does it

this was after i totaly uninstalled hammer and reinstalled it


anyone else havin this trouble?

im about ready to give up again like when my hard drive crashed and i lost 3 weeks worth of work

as you see i used zonars

actually its saying it cant find any of my wad files

did steam do something so that gcfscape wont extract this stuff the right way from the gcf file?

im at a loss

I have that too with batch compiler, it happens all the time but I fix it by resetting my hl.exe path every time I load batch compiler and surprisingly that works. It's really weird tho, but try it, it works for me

ok, you need to reference the wad files you use from the dod folder, not where you have them, keep the paths standard, it causes less problems, when you compile the map only have the wad files in it that you use, otherwise it adds them all.

Get XP-cagey tools and nems v3. batch compiler, they are far better than hammer's built in compiler and XP-cagey has updated beyond that last build of zoners

so your saying if i throw all my wads and stuff in my steam fodler after i extracted them it would help?

im about to try it anyway

ty for all the help guys
this is the best forum ive ever been a part of everyone is so nice

Look into instructions.html (part of compiler pack) for "texture wad configuration file", try this way.

well guys i fixed it

i put all my files into my dod folder in steam

never thought it mattered cuz this never happened

but ty to everyone that tried to help
