System cannot find the file specified.

Weird problem I had before, forgot how to fix. Please help.

By Mr.Programmer 5 years ago

When I try to run my map I get a message saying, "The command failed. Windows reported the error "The system cannot find the file specified. Do you want to continue?" Yes/No

How do I fix this problem. I've had it before and forgot how it was fixed. I've already tried to copy and paste my map, rename, and try to re-compile and no luck. What else is there that I can do?

    Alright just a minute.

    EDIT Here is my compile log:

    The command failed. Windows reported the error: "The system cannot find the file specified."

    I noticed a few things like Max_Entities and something about it not being able to open to light.rad. But I'm not sure of the exact problem. I forgot the site where you can put your log in and it will tell you the problem so anyone that can help me I sure would appreciate it.

    Posted by roma. Fix your errors.

    I have no errors in the map, I would have know. This is something with an actual file of some sort not being there.

    You have a leak in your map. Try to fix it. There are tutorials here on fpsbanana to get it done, but I'm not a 100% sure. You know, it's hard to fix this error.

    I don't know how I have a leak. It's all in a sky box, I do that to make sure that nothing is leaking.

    try this: take the Nodraw texture, and make a huge block around your map. Then hollow it with the size of 2. That may fix it.

    That is exactly what I do with my skybox all the way around my map. I don't think make a nodraw box would make a difference would it?

    Yes it does. Make the sky around the map. and after that make even a bigger hollowed box with the nodraw texture. Try it. Big chance it will work. If not, tell me.

    the prove is the water. Water is invisible if there is a leak sometimes. If you put a nodraw texture around the world, the leak is gone. And the water is visible^^ try it please :)
