ok now that ive ruled out compile time errors(fixed the cluster problem) my map still thinks its to good to run on my computer so i run the server and before it got started i was able to cancel and grab this info out of the console.

can anyone help me with these problems

The obvious two are easy to take care of, change the collision properties of each prop for the first, fix your spawnpoints (they can't touch the ground and the yellow zone surrounding each entity shouldn't touch any other prop).

For the move_track problem, I don't know that entity, so check out if you haven't screwed up with it either. The problem is that last one is most certainly what's causing the crash, at least off that error log. The two others wouldn't make your game crash

thanks. i found i forgot to delete my spawn moving train which i relised wouldnt work anyway. the spawns are in a confined area so that might be harder to fix. but im still not getting my map to run. i tried to run it by typing map maginot in console but it got to Initializing renderer... then crashed

Compile it again (full compile) then post the entire log

see you in a couple hours with the log

EDIT: i think i found my problem. i ran the compile at full but for some reason it took the same time as a fast would take. ill try again and post back

EDIT: well i still cant seem to run a Normal compile so this is the log anyway:

Is your map just made of displacements or something? Never saw a map compile that fast in full, unless it was very very early in its design.

Regardless, there isn't anything worth mentioning in your log, besides maybe the 3 degenerate faces which are most probably related to one of your displacement brush (the three vertices that compose a particular face are too close to each other, causing a "flat" face). That's not anything that would cause a crash....

That's a weird issue....

actually my map is almost entirely discplacements. its a raid on a defensive line so it basicly an open field with a hump where the bunker is and over the hump is another part of the map

i could send you the bsp if you want to see it( that is if the error doesnt crash your game too)

Yeah send it to me by PM, I'll take a look at it tonight

Problem taken care of by PM
