Hey guys,
As I posted several hours ago, i am currently working on a zombie escape map, however, when i got back on to work on it, I got the following window:

Then Hammer crashed. What's going on? I tried restarting my PC, but nothing changed. Any help?

Something's wrong with your map. You'd most likely have to open up the .vmf in a text-editor and post it here so we can find the error, if there is one.

What was the last thing you did before it crashed? As in, what's the last edit?

You must have created a reallly sketchy brush because that happened while reading chunks. So yeah I'm assuming you made something extremely strange.

I edited the map for like 2hrs, then all the sudden i get the "would you like to save changes to file?" window. I thought i hit "ctrl+s" instead of "Shift+S", but then it crashed. But the last thing i did was do some player clip brushes and some prop_static's, nothing crazy. I just hope my map isn't toast, ive been working on it forever...

Here's a link to the .vmf (http://rapidshare.com/files/268772790/ze_ski_mountain_escape.vmf.html)
It was too much text for me to copy & paste it here. Thanks for taking a look.

I'm assuming you're kidding about the FPSbanana thing. If you do manage to figure it out, I'd be more than happy to add you to the author field.

I didnt take anything from other maps, but i will take a look at those sites, thanks. When i started this map several months ago, i had no clue how to optimize, so the file is huge.

:doh:

Anyways I had the same problem. When I first started to map I made a teleport and I put the destanetions name in "Parent". Check if you didn't do the same thing.

Or it might be the a perfab
