+
+ When you double click a .bat file (or any other file) the Windows shell determines
+ which program should be used to run that file. When you run a batch from Batch Compiler, Batch Compiler
+ generates a .bat file and asks the Windows shell to run it. The error you are receiving occurs when

+ Unfortunately I don't have much experience with the Source engine, and I don't have
+ any of the games or SDK fully downloaded so I can't do any experimenting. However, I suppose there are a
+ few basic things you can try:
-Make sure Steam us running when you compile
-If you + are using CST (amckern's tools), make sure that they are in the SourceSDK's BIN folder (where the valve + compile tools are)
-For the Extra App ID, try commenting out the 'ToolsAppId 211' line in the + gameinfo.txt by adding '//' to the beginning of the line. I think you only have to do this to the one in + the mod's folder. For more info, you can look here:

+ The error is a result of something Valve changed in it's user validation code. I know
+ this because it has been bugging the hell out of me for months and is so bad on my computer that I, like
+ many
+ others, can hardly play CS or DOD.
The difference between Hammer and BC may be that + Hammer starts your game in networking mode. You may be able to make BC do this by adding +sv_lan + 1 to the Additional Parameters field under the Steam tab.

You can run an automatic update from within Batch Compiler (Help menu) + to get the latest specifications for the new tools.

+
+ It seems to me as this is another one of these Steam update bugs, since it appears
+ that batch compiler can't run because Steam uses the registry if it runs, and if it doesn't runs, i

+ There are a few good references for compile errors out there such as this

+
+ A great many of us have been stumped by leaks in the past, but they always turn out to be tangible. Have + you tried tracing the pointfile yet?

+ Yeah I checked those resources myself already, however this error is not listed
+ there. As far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with the brush. Its a simple cubic brush, clipped on
+ one end so it meets at 45 degree angle with another one, also clipped, to together form a
+ func_illusionary, to create a fence, through which can still be shot. No vertex manipulation was done on
+ it, so I am unsure what could be illegal about it.
+
+ Well about the leak, still have not found it, I copied the corridor to a new rmf, and trying to find it, + but I still am unable to find it. I loaded the pointfile, the line goes straight through a brush, which + is not an entity. Besides that, the other lines are outside. I tried boxing my lvl and putting a very + bright light inside, but it appears the light just goes right through cause it was the same brightness + inside or outside my hallway.
+
+ "To begin with, hlfix outputs floating point coordinates to .map files as opposed to VHE which + rounds all coordinates to integers. This alone solves a number of typical mapping problems. hlfix also + performs three phases of geometry corrections"
+ Guess it must be related to this, probably some where on my design, I got something offgrid, and VHE + just rounds it to an integer, making it snap to the grid, while hlfix keeps it offgrid.
+ Think is, I am pretty sure I already exported it through vhe and skipped the hlfix stage once.

+ you shouldn't have ur compile tools on your desktop anyways. move the folder to
+ whatever drive you want. before i moved away from hl1 mapping, i had my wads folder at c:\wads, then
+ used an include file to specify which wads to embed in the bsp. bc never was able to handle spaces in
+ the folder name.

+ Seems to have a problem loading any of valve's textures. all i get is:
+
+ material "tools/toolsnodraw" not found.
+ Material not found!: TOOLS/TOOLSNODRAW
+ material "metal/metalwall032f" not found.
+ Material not found!: METAL/METALWALL032F
+ material "concrete/concretefloor031a" not found.
+ Material not found!: CONCRETE/CONCRETEFLOOR031A
+
+ maybe it has to do with the new format or something, who knows.
+
+ its also looking for the filesystem.dll file in the wrong place. its not in bin/orangebox/bin. seemed to + work fine once i copied into that folder though, well with the exception of the missing textures.
