Mapping Issue (vavle hammer)

[Krazy Ivan]

I have made quite a few primitive maps for CS:S. However, the last 2 maps I made have had issues with CT and T spawns. I am running the latest version on valve hammer, and placed 20 info_playercounterterrorist, and 20 info_playerterrorist entities on each end of the map. The compile process goes through quick, and when I test the map, I attempt to spawn and it says that both teams are full. I did check map for problems and it says no errors were found. If someone who has experianced this issue and knows how to fix it, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

[Mr.Bob]

Please post your last compile log, not all if you have compiled more than once.

[Mr.Bob]

static prop models/props_c17/metalladder001.mdl outside the map (-323.00, -736.00, 123.92)

Description:
You have a prop_static outside the map, or you have a big leak. You may also have a prop completely inside a world brush (that's the bounding box entirely inside the brush).

Solution:
Delete the entity, move the entity into your level (or turn the offending brush into a brush entity), or fix the leak.


--------------------------------------
Description:
You have entered a skybox texture which doesn't seem to be valid. Make sure you don't specify the last three letter (_UP, _DN, etc) of any skybox texture you use. You may also need to fix your vmt files if they are broken. It may also be caused by compiling a non-HDR skybox texture.


--------------------------------------
Description:
You have used a non-hdr skybox texture, while the compile tools expect a hdr skybox instead.

Solution:
Either make a HDR skybox, change your skybox to a HDR one or ignore this error. See below for a detailed fix.

so youre basically telling me its the skybox? makes sence, because on the one i got working perfectly I made my own texture

[Mr.Bob]

Could be. The other think is you have a leak. This will cause the map to fail all the time. Look around and make sure your outer most walls touch each other so you can't see the black when you're in your map. Any holes are leaks and need to be "filled".

[Krazy Ivan]

well now ive got a newer bigger problem. I got the map all situated with all the doodads, fixed the skybox, and just to be sure i didnt have a leak the outer block is one object that I hollowed. Now when I go to compile it says windows cant find file specified. it seems to frig up copying the bsp file. ive dealt with this issue before, but everything i did last time to fix it doesnt work this time.
