source sdk for gmod baisic help
when i run and compile my map it doesnt show up in my files, or anywhere else! I need a .bsp
file, but am stuck with a .vmf file. how can i save my .vmf as a bsp? already tried compileing
without running the game. i am trying to make a map for gmod 13 but cannot turn map into .bsp. ): i am willing to post the .vmf ( all it is is a hollow box with a playerspawn and a few lights) but i dont know how to post the .vmf on this forum.

If that is the whole log, it looks like VBSP and VVIS aren't starting when you compile. Make sure you have them checked in the Run Map dialog.

is vbsp and vvis under advanced settings?

If you're using the normal compile mode, they are set with the first two settins in the run dialog (see here for what it should look like).

The next thing you should check is if the compile tool exceutables are set up right. You can find the settings in the build programs tab in the Hammer options dialog. They should look pretty much the same as the picture in the link. Also check that the progams are in actual directories as well.

$SteamUserDir is the same thing as c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\harrison\.
