    this is right but there is a missing entity in the map. i think it is like info_gameplay or summin.

    Start HL with the -console +dev +sv_cheats 1 command line parameters. Click the console button on the main menu. Type "map <i>mapname</i>" in the console to start your map. The type "buildminimap" then your map should be visible in the list.

    4 sides earlier I had a thread with the same problem and some possible reasons for it:

    lol i got into the map using the "map ns_biodome.bsp" command but only the info_player_start entity loaded lol. It was weird i had the kind of lighting you have in worldcraft. I even had light where i hadnt put any light entities. lol wierd <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Sounds like the lights part of the compile didn't run. Perhaps you have a leak (a hole from the inside to the outside) I recently found out that entities need to be inside too. Even the ones that noone sees like info_gameplay <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>wtf?!? I Don't have any leaks, I've checked every single brush on the edge of this map. I've even changed some that shouldn't make any difference! the only thing outside my map is this freaking entity. . . move, compile, Hurray! damn that was a waste of time! </span>
