Hello i have been trying to edit a map i have extracted all the files and i have the vmf but when running the map i encounter this ```CModelLoader::Map_IsValid: No such map 'maps/rp_downtown_tits_revolution.bsp'
map load failed: rp_downtown_tits_revolution not found or invalid

#

I am new to hammer btw

lilac wolf
#

Extracted all the files as in…you know you can just ask the author for the vmf, right?

keen seal
#

I downloaded the vmf

#

and extracted the custom textures

#

just changed the name of the vmf

#

i have the vmf

#

original map i downloaded

#

anyways, post your compile log

keen seal
#

Ok

lilac wolf
#

Use -notjunc when compiling tits_v2, I think the map author has specified this somewhere

lilac wolf
#

you're trying to set an empty -game path that way

keen seal
#

ok

#

do i keep the $bsp.exe?

lilac wolf
#

yes

keen seal
#

ok

#

im gonna try it

#

so like this

lilac wolf
#

i think, it might be under parameters instead. just don't put it after another argument, add it to the beginning instead

keen seal
#

ok

#

im gonna try -notjunc $bsp_exe

lilac wolf
#

that's... not how it will work, no

#

basically treat it as if you're using windows cmd.exe

#

$bsp_exe is telling cmd to run vbsp.exe, then you specify -game "path/to/game.exe", -notjunc, etc

#

then $path_to_file resolves to the map path

Help

lilac wolf
#

dude....

#

-notjunc -game $gamedir $path\$file

#

that easy

#

🥣

#

just checked btw, it doesn't matter whether it's in command or parameters

#

but it has to be after the exe and you can't put it between something else that needs an argument

keen seal
#

Is there any way to make it so only brushes are visible?

lilac wolf
#

Visgroups. They’re on the right side of hammer

#

Check the Auto tab

downtown edit/10

keen seal
#

lol

keen seal
#

How does this make any sense?

#

@lilac wolf

lilac wolf
#

it's a tits edit, it doesn't need to make sense

#

anyways, I'm pretty sure the map author also had this issue and just dealt with it or someth

#

check to make sure the floor does not have any transparent textures on any of its faces

#

and that you aren't trying to cut across the floor (it creates a microscopic gap or overlap)

keen seal
#

@lilac wolf Doesnt seem to be anything

lilac wolf
#

hm, I don't seem to get this problem with the original vmf

lilac wolf
#

i mean ,that's not saying much. the sewer tunnels are still a carved hellscape of geo

#

imma check down's 2019 version real q

#

oh wait his doesn't offer the vmf. ah wel

keen seal
#

@lilac wolf I used this one

#

is it the wrong one

lilac wolf
#

No, that’s the one I got

#

It’s just. Very unstable, probably because the author wasn’t intending to actually distribute it when he made it, just wanted a working map.

keen seal
#

Yes

#

Well do i have to restart on a new one

lilac wolf
#

Hopefully not. If you do, fix the sewers with the vertex edit tool first. I don’t know where else there might be problems but that’s the one that immediately jumps at me

keen seal
#

Ok

#

It seems to be coming from the sewers

#

But editing them will be very hard

#

This is the other map im talking about @lilac wolf

keen seal
#

im got a fresh vmf and am restarting my work on the map as its easier

keen seal
#

My map is looking quite nice @lilac wolf

lone tartan
#

tfw using a ceiling texture for your floor

lilac wolf
#

Wish I had that artistic capability still, instead of searching by keywords

lone tartan
#

I search via the keywords

keen seal
#

also i made an admin area!

lone tartan
#

Well it's for the ceiling ;D

Also new spawn

#

Is there a tool to pack all the custom textures used automatically?
@lilac wolf

lilac wolf
#

VIDE or compilepal

#

No idea how to use either of them, never needed to
