When I go to run map, it gets to last step where it is supposed to copy map to CSS maps folder to be able to run it, and error comes up that says "Windows cannot find specified file" Is there something wrong with SDK settings, or what? Not sure why it is doing this. So far it is just a simple enclosed room, and like to check it out to catch any leaks or such every so often, but map does not show in list or anything when I try to run it. Any help would be great.

Post compile log, it might help. But do you have like something really weird like a displacement tied to entity?

The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified."

This is log. But no entities except spawn points and light_enviroment in map. Spawns were just put in for test purposes for now.

Hmm.. If it is just a basic room would it be easier to restart it?

hashvec: point outside valid range

Description:
Your map is too big (you have brush(es) too near to the edge of the grid) or you have invalid brushes.

Solution:
If the problem-checker in Hammer (alt+p) doesn't find any offending brush(es), and you can't see brushes near the edge of the grid, you should use the cordon tools or visgroups to find them.

Reference: Invalid solids


This error will cause your map to fail compiling completely

You have a screwed up brush.. Did you carve or anythign like that?

I don't use carve. But thx guys for your input. I started over. I think it was too close to edge of grid. Thx agian.

The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified."This error will show as result of multiple posible mistakes you did on your map.

If you are usually doing backup copies, and trying to compile; just try to find the posible error on the last things you did since the last time the compile worked.

If you mapped a lot without compiling, and have no clue of where the error it is; you can try to delete many things of your map, save it (with a diferent name, just in case) and try to compile...
If you still having this error it means that: you didn't found the error or... maybe you found an error but you still have more on other parts of the map.

If you didn't map a lot, start again, but take in mind that doing somethings that Hammer is not designed for can you give this error again.


Now... The error itself...
When you get that "System cannot find the file specified" it kinda means that you did something really wrong with the Hammer Editor; but that its not really an specific error (like a Leak could be).
This includes, for example:

- Creating a Func_Whatever (or any kind of entitie) while having Props selected (Props need to be Parented to the entity, not being transformed into it).
- Transforming a displacement into any kind of entity; displacements can't be anything, not even Func_Detail.
- Doing an invalid brush with vertex manipulation, that won't even bee visible on the 3D View.

I'm pretty sure that there are a lot more of things that can cause the "Missing File Error"; but those must be the most common ones; and I can't remenber any other right now.
