have you set the export directory for maps to c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\steam account\half-life 2 episode two\ep2\maps\ or moved the steam folder?

no for both

Uh… Are you sure that’s the whole compile log? It looks like you’re missing half of the log.
And if it can’t find the file, then the compiler didn’t get past vbsp, so check for leaks.

I check for leaks and there are no leaks

Well then, post the whole log at least. Unless you’re only running VRAD (which won’t work, for obvious reasons), then you’re missing most of the log, and we can’t tell you what’s wrong.

@jerry

set the export directory for maps to c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\steam account\half-life 2 episode two\ep2\maps\

you need to do this, so the maps are saved in the right place

If you’re running vbsp and vvis, there would be some mention of them in the log. I assure you that isn’t all that’s in the log file if they’re actually running. Your log file only shows vrad failing, due to the .bsp it needs not existing.

@jerry, you can tell it to save the map in any place and it will work; having it save there only makes it so that it’s already in-engine when you open it up. It’s a good idea for newbs with hammer anyway though

…Run it without vvis or vrad then post the log

“Brush 133905: MAX_MAP_PLANES”

Well THERE’S your problem. Too many faces in the map. Try deleting unnecessary brushes and simplifying others.

Oh, and a tip for the forums… Don’t bother quoting someone if you’re replying directly beneath them. Just a waste of effort.
