Building fast file error

[Ryan 29]

Hello, I seem to have a problem whenever I am building fast file. I've recently started on my second map and everytime I click build fast file I get this error: http://gyazo.com/2421aa375774a23b2d571c99312b798c I have googled this error and have tried everything that they have said and yet I still get this error. I even have started over on making my map yet still get it. Also, never had this error on my first map or when I was testing things with radiant. Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks, Ryan

Compile your bsp again, and post the log here.

[Ryan 29]

When I compile bsp, it opens and closes to quick for me to snap a screenshot  :(

I've had this error countless amount of times, the only time I fix it is pressing i in radiant, and copying everything into a new map and naming it differently, then it seems to make the d3dbsp weirdly, try that? 

[Beatthat 423]

what do you expect then? it doesnt even build the bsp file, looks like you're getting an Access denied error. I had that error too like 2 years ago, i think i just reinstalled modtools in another folder.

[Ryan 29]

I guess I'll try and reinstall it, see if it fixes the problem. Thanks for the help though :)

 

May I ask what you mean by reinstalling it into another folder?

[~Budzy~ 661]

Make a new folder, install it there

You can try the following:

 

-Run the Modtools as administrator.

 

-Go to Steam/SteamApps/Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\bin\CoD4CompileTools/cod4compiletools_compilebsp.bat (or your own cod4 path) and backup the .bat on your desktop, recreate it, (text document, same file name, just change .txt to .bat) and replace it with this: 

@ECHO OFF

This will make it pause at the end, when your BSP is done compiling.

 

You can also do the same for your fast file builder, but, just add the word "pause" at the end, or in the middle/near end.

 

If you can somehow follow this, here's the file you need, just replace it with the one already in Steam/SteamApps/Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\bin\CoD4CompileTools/cod4compiletools_compilebsp.bat (or your own cod4 path)

 

BSP: https://www.sendspace.com/file/49zy7f

 

This will make the BSP stop, so you can look though the Log, and find any errors.

Thank you Zack

 

Here is the compile bsp:http://gyazo.com/4e75b3301ea1132fa7d22f74ebf78fda

[Zack 100]

Hmm, that's it? Looks like it might of stopped the bsp a bit to early..

[Ryan 29]

Any fix or do I need to reinstall?

[NNJ 130]

reinstall mod tools

[Beatthat 423]

Could also be a problem within the map itself.

[Ryan 29]

All I have in the map are brushes though, I even tried deleting the scripts. 

[Beatthat 423]

Too big brushes? No Skybox? No Spawns? 

[Ryan 29]

I've added a skybox and spawns also the brushes aren't very big. 

 

Reinstalled Cod4 mod tools and it still didn't fix the issue. 

[siikdude 240]

Have you added any cylinder? :ph34r: if you do them the wrong way, those fuckers will fuck the compiling up

[Ryan 29]

No cylinders, I even just added one small brush, a spawn, and a skybox. Still get the same error everytime.

guess you guys missed this

 

 

can you got to cod4 directory then bin and tell me if there a cod4map.exe/application located there?

Sorry for the late response, was at work. Anyways to answer your question no there is not. Here's a screenshot of everything in the cod4 bin just in case I've missed it: http://gyazo.com/a8abf44f2eb2fc02a92342c46e4e9ad1

[Sentrex 785]

That's probably your problem, I have upload my file for you to use. Should work but not 100%.

Just place in your bin folder and try compiling :dave:

Oki, well download sentrex one, if that doesn't work, re-download mod tools and take the one from that.

[Ryan 29]

Thank you very much everyone for taking the time to help me! 

 

I figured out that my antivirus system was removing the cod4map.exe :facepalm:

Did you exracted the whole mod-tool in your COD4 directory without making a extra folder in that directory ?
