Mod_NumForName: C:/Program Files/Valve/Steam/SteamApps/chip_trekie@msn.com/half not found

it is a fatal error, and it prevents my loading up my map when I finished compiling (with no errors during compile btw)

Can you run the game and load up the map manually?

From the looks of it, you've got an address wrong somewhere since it is cut off. Hence, it can't find what it is looking for. Check your settings for game directory and such.

Oh and is this Hammers compiler or is this Batch Compiler?

The error normally lies in the @ symbol in your email address. Compile to a diferent folder and see if that helps.

I seem to remember having that problem too... I do all my work in c:\worldcraft... then have the batch file copy the map.. Course i use hammer 3.5

Old school FTW.

That's the thing.

I compile to a folder on my desktop, then manually copy the .bsp over to my ns/maps folder. I then run NS and try to start the game manually.

It's Batch Compiler.

I re-compiled an older version of the map, it doesn't have this problem However, it's also missing a LOT of architexture work and I'd really hate to have to re-start from that point

Please, I'm dying for some help on this. I really don't want to have to re-do almost half my map

I dont know this error, but i would try searching for the string "C:/Program Files/Valve/Steam/SteamApps/chip_trekie@msn.com/half" in your .map file.. if the "-life/ns" is missing there fix it right in the code
and make sure that you used proper quotation marks.

The .map file is fine mate. It's the .bsp that seems to be wrong. I know the compiler is set up right because compiling an older version of the map gave me no errors on loading the game.

This is just a game-load thing. I dont' know what it thinks it's missing... but I'll look around for that string on my PC

You havent used any models or textures from other files did you?

I haven't made a custom wadfile for the textures I'm using. I need to get around to that. But that's the same for the other compile.

I haven't used any custom models at all.... only the two team starts and the player start + res nodes and a comchair/hive.

A quick search brought up that error message in relation to sprites and models.

Have you added either since your first build?

Remove the ones you added (or particle systems using sprites) since the last successful compile, and save to a different RMF file and compile.

If you haven't added any models, check your sprites.

I have neither added since last compile mate

However-

I did recently discover that I had an entity with the clip texture on all of it's faces. This gave me a strange error. I am now recompiling on full with said problem fixed to see if it works. I'll know once I get back from uni

Nothing... it did nothing And I checked for that line- it didn't turn up once. What file do you want me to check? The .bsp? the .map?

EDIT- I removed EVERY Entity from my map except the map critical ones. Guess what- back in business... now I need to find out what ones were mucking it up

try adding 1 type at a time...

add a light... try to compile

add a multimanager... etc... etc...

one or one type is causing it to freak out. Just a process of elimination.

Yeah, I know. Just I had a lot of entities doing things, especially now that I learned how to properly use the func_weld in conjunction with the trigger_changetarget +buttons Thanks to all that helped walk me thru it.

I know I'm a somewhat difficult person to teach something to- I'm a very hands on learner, so an explination often doens't quite do it for me. I have to physically do whatever it is while being told what to do. After a little repetition, I'll be fine

UPDATE-

Now, the map loads fine Just, it crashes as soon as you join a team *sigh*

you do got team starts for both teams, yes? doublechecked?

Oh yeah. I don't know what's going on ATM... *sighs*

If I host the map, could you take a look at it? I'm at the end of my rope at the moment

By this you mean?

If I gave you the .rmf file, could you take a look thru it and help me find what's wrong? I'm out of ideas as to what to check

Nevermind, fixed that part.

All sections of the map work beautiful on their own (it's how I found the problem)

Thing is, I put em together, and I get an unreferenced memory thing... I also found this in my compile log.

WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP!I found it!

I had a concave illusionary entity that BC did NOTlike at all!

That, and my use of hint brushes is horrible and that was cuasing some funky stuff... removed em,and I'm back in action- now to lowermyr-speeds:D


I appologize for the lack of spacing-I'm on myroomies PC atm asmine is doing a full compile, and his spacebark is broken and only works half the time.

Aaaand it's back...

this time, when you join a team you stay in the RR... and the map will randomly crash with a

"Memory could not be "read"" error

This also happens every time you try to quit or disconnect

*sigh*
