Having problems with testing my map - FIXED -
I'm mapping for few days now, and evrything was going nice until today.
because my map suddenly wont't load anymore.
I mean hammer compile's it and then starts up the game, but that al it does start up the game not the map.

the only real error I found was gamedata key not being found and if thats the problem how do I fix it

Here's my compile log, and sorry if this is the rong form.
and also sorry for grammer.

I for one do not have Hammer run the game after compiling, that never did work for me (check the 'don't run game after compiling' option). Instead I copy the compiled map into my games 'maps' folder and manually load it from the console with the 'map <mapname>' command.
hope this helps

forgive if I'm stupid, but where is the this map folder.

Well, I don't see anything wrong with the compile log.

I might as well give you the same-old, typical problems that you probably know.
These errors would probably show up on the compile log, so I don't know.
~ don't ctrl+T on displacements; in other words, don't make them func_entities.....
~ check for leaks
~ don't make the map super super huge
~ the map may be super laggy, so it won't load/may crash upon playing
~ map may be corrupted after compiling
~ i give up xD

well, try googling about that Game Data. that may help.

Copy paste your compile log into this http://www.interlopers.net/errors/

I did what you told me to but it could find any error's.

And for iamthevirus,
~I dont have any displacement in my map.
~I dont seem to have leaks anywhere
~My map is very small.
~Same as above, the map is very small.
~This could be it, but is there a way to fix such corruption.
~Wel you tried.

Depends on what game you're creating maps for, the maps for each game reside in a sub-folder named 'maps' for that game...
...steamapps\<your-id>\<game>\<game>\maps

Please 27 Jun, 2013 @ 10:06am 
Google about gamedata, its probably has something to do with your game. maybe verfiy its game cache ?
#7
Snoopy 27 Jun, 2013 @ 1:46pm 
The 'could not locate gamedata key' message is not the issue I'm sure as every map I compile works fine and that message appears every time I compile.
I'm sure the problem is that the compiled map resides in the sdk's 'mapsrc' folder and the game needs it to be in the games 'maps' folder or it cant find it.

Apple 29 Jun, 2013 @ 7:24am 
Thanks for all your comments , but somehow I fixed it myself not sure how but i fixed it.
The only thing I used to fix it was the cordon tool, to compile small parts of my map and somehow that fixed it.
