    <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> I've gone so far as to completely re-install natural-selection, steam, half life, EVERYTHING that I could think of that pertains to mapping...


    I did a 100% removal, a 100% re-install... nothing. Didn't work.

    I'm going to re-format regardless of what my @sshole father says... stupid tard that he is... I hope he drops dead...

    Anyway <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> yeah, I'll be back..


    Perhaps I should give Quark a try... does it work with Batch COmpiler?

    This is still the "wad isn't in map but it does give the error it has! And I don't have the wad!" error, right? Y'know, I had this problem as well... wanna know what was wrong?

    I think you do: when I compiled I got my directory set to another map. I compiled once and copied the map into my nsp map. Than I thought I had the problem as well every time I compiled (read closely: the finished map every time went into another map, NOT the nsp maps directory). Make sure you have your compiled bsp in your nsp maps directory.

    FFS, no offence, but do you listen to other people. Reformatting WILL NOT HELP! I'm serious, send me the .map file, i will fix it for your.

    1) DO NOT Reformat
    2) Try using your own typed batch file, not the batch compiler
    3) Edit the map file and remove the line i told you too
    4) Try with a fresh install of VHE and a new map with 4 walls, a roof and a floor, all textured in NULL
    5) If this still doesn't work, send me your map file!

    Reebdog... dude, seriously, look at the replys I made to your posts. there is NOTHING named cargotruck1.wad ANYWHERE on my hard drive! I don't know why it's looking for it or what is causing it to look for it. I don't know HOW to make my own typed batch file, and I tried opening the map and editing that line... cept that line did NOT exist...

    I'm not going to send ANYONE my maps cause this all started when I transfered a map from my dad's computer (when I was using that to work on these) to the one I'm using now, so It could very be something in the map file (his computer has MANY viruses on it, including spyware, adware, auto-downloaders, and a freaking data miner... I thought I managed to get rid of them when I was transfering the files, but I was wrong)


    I found an alternative to re-formatting. I am going to try the System Recovery options... kinda risky since I am lacking the recovery CD's, but I should be able to re-set the ENTIRE computer back to factory default settings (as in, fresh off the lines with the OS just installed)

    anything but that....

    seriously, sys restore does little-to-nothing.

    formatting is a serious wasate of time...

    do you use MSN messanger?

    Again, send me the .map file, im not going to steal your work, and its a plain .txt file, so it won't contain any virus's (virii, what ever you want to call the plural). Reformating is not going to help. And i showed you how to make your own batch file in one of the other threads. Again, if you need it :
    1) Make a new txt file.
    2) Put this inside it
    <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>hlfix.exe yourmap.rmf
    hlcsg.exe yourmap.map -hullfile K:\Sierra\ns\nshulls.txt -wadautodetect
    hlbsp.exe yourmapmap
    hlvis.exe yourmap.map -full
    hlrad.exe yourmap.map -extra
    opt_plns.exe yourmap.bsp</span>
    3) Save
    4) Rename to yourmap.bat
    5) Run
    6) Oh, btw, make sure you have hlfix set up right with the wad txt file, and that the batch file is in the same dir as your map, try to make the path have to spaces or not normal chars. (i.e make it c:\mapping\)

    Send me a pm with your map if it doesn't work, or your msn/icq.

    Open the .map file in notepad.

    Look for a line like this

    "wad" "C:/Valve/Steam/SteamApps/{e-mail}/half-life/nsp/ns2.wad;C:/Valve/Steam/SteamApps/{e-mail}/half-life/nsp/cargotruck1.wad.wad"

    Get rid of this

    ;C:/Valve/Steam/SteamApps/{e-mail}/half-life/nsp/cargotruck1.wad.wad

    and you will have somthing like this

    "wad" "C:/Valve/Steam/SteamApps/{e-mail}/half-life/nsp/ns2.wad" (Whatever wads you used)

    Just take it out in notepad.

    Here's something else to check for:
    Recheck all the paths and directories for your maps, make absolutely sure that the map you've exported and compiled is actually the one you're copying to your Steam folder. You might be continuously copying an old version of the BSP which still references cargotruck1.wad. I've done this before (Not with a WAD error, it was a WAV it kept on trying to find, but the cause is the same).

    I don't want to be rude... but I already said that in the previous page, Yamazaki.

    But still: you said it more understandable <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> .

    Dudes, the problem is this thing does not exist... I don't know where it came from, I can't find ANYTHING with cargotruck1 in it's name (yes, I looked in the .wads, the .maps, all that!)


    And I think a system re-set would work (going to return it to factory default settings, so there won't be anything cept the OS on it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> )


    I'll send you the .txt file asap! (there's 5 of em, 1 per room)


    BTW- I used halflife.wad, liquids.wad, and xeno.wad in em too, so you need those for the textures <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
