CS mapping

well i downloaded Valve's hammer map editor, made a basic hollowed out cube with two start points and buy zones, compiled and what not but when ever i try to load map i get application error and CS crashes.
I know its vague but any ideas what might be going on.
I have the confgs all doen and triple check via tutorial found here http://www.valve-erc.com/cgi-bin/wcsetup.pl
I'm realy stumped

 

I know a long time ago when I attempted maps, I had the same problem. Was due to bleeds in the levels, not getting all the lines completely connected. They have a tool that checks that now, but the name escapes me at the moment.

 

thanks will check for it

 

Yeah... memory leaks or something. It has to do with the polygons being uneven or split I think. I never was good at the mapping thing either, but a good friend of mine has made some unbelievable maps... he tried ta teach me.. I just couldn't commit the patience at the time.

 

cool cool
havn;t had time to map sincei started up coding stuff again
