'Cannot Find File' ?

[Deimos]

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone could help me out with this problem...

Ok, so I'll be mid-mapping and I finnish a part of a map. I take 10-20 minutes to build this thing (Jail Cell in this case), and I'm thinking... 'hmmm I wonder what it looks like in-game', So I go to File/Run-Map... it does its calculations and exports it. Then I get an error message saying "File ____ Not Found" (The file is my .vmt). So then I try again, it doesn't work. So I restart Hammer, load the .vmt, and it says "Cannot find file ___, 36 objects were not placed" and then I lost all the work that I did.

Anyone have this before?

just a small suggestion...

does your map name have a space in it, because that would prevent it from worknig and may cause that error...

for example ba_jail_example.vmt would work but ba jail example.vmt would not!

Just a minor issue I have hit in the past...if not I dont honestly know what the issue is...

That would not affect the compiling though. It would just not run In-Game.
