Mkay , I posted this @ the Mapping help and troubleshooting but because no one looks over there i'll post it here ( 12 people looked , no answer.. )

So I did exactly what KungFuDiscoMoney said in the compile with steam thread ... i made a simple RR , test run it with VHE but .. here's the question from other topic...

still noone knows .. how ? this can't be , i can't start mapping without being able to fast test it ..

Hmm...

Well, all you can really do is go thru and check all your settings to make sure you set it all up right..

other than that, I dunno mate...

Please only post once. If people know how to fix it, we will answer, double posting won't speed things up. Try using a batch compiler with cagey's tools instead of the built in VHE stuff.

First off be patient. Sometimes we have other things to do then answer your question which is in the wrong forum. This should have been in the mapping help and troubleshooting forum. Also, if you were having trouble with your compile settings after reading the guide I wrote you could have PMed me and I would have worked with you.

I would double check to make sure that 'use long filenames' is checked. Also, I would check out batch compiler. I'm sure a quick search will find it for you but it is a great way to set up your map to compile without using hammer.

Yes I know how to batch but I just want to compile a simple map to look if it's ok the vhe quality is good enough for that ..

ok now I have discovered that it wants to copy my bsp from the RMF folder to my maps folder .. which I set it to do ... but what i stumbeld upon is that there just isn't a .bsp to copy , and THIS is what I don't get .. no errors , nothing at all .. this is strange ..

The Log :
removed for space

The original tools can't handle the email address in the name, it stuffs up the files. (See where it writes the prt file: 'c:\program files\steam\steamapps\stephan_2010@hotmail.prt').
You'll need to move them to a folder where there is no period, or use Cagey's build of Merl's build of Zoner's build of Valve's build of the compile tools

hmm , if I am correct i didn't have the original files ( could have overwritten them , but mkay ) I really thought you got it but now I get this :S ( maybe you are right and I just ain't seeing clearly , it being half past 3 in the night

btw : i used cagey's on this one

Ok i'm awake now ( slept for 9 hrs. so ) i can see clearly again ... i set my settings good but It's not compiling ( as you can see at the log ( there bareley is a log :S ) and that wasn't the problem with the newb tools.. so this is another prob ( for me ) haha , i don't know why , I reset it to all the new tools again ( in other folder once i tried it in original folder ...)

this is me >>

EDIT : mhhh, i put out the "Check V" @ copy file ( cause vhe would place the compiled map in my nsp/maps.. Didn't have errors , it's starting steam , but there"s a new update ( why now =] ) i think it's working , we'll find out

Just checking your compiling with the map not the rmf?
If it still doesn't work, try nem's batch compiler.

finally steam is up again ( its updating now ( steam was down .. )
so i can try to get it going .. thanks for your help reebdog & others
wont bump it anymore if it works or i can fix it myself
