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

I use alt+p to fix errors but map doesn't run no matter what I do. I tried to save map to desktop, but no. always I get pop up: The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified."

Don't use spaces and dots in your filename/path

Is somebody ready to help / make map with me I cant find tutorial how to do portal that opens with button etc. I'm glad if somebody can

I try name nextstage but don't work neither

Looks like your bsp file was not created. Check your map for leaks.
And please don't double-post, use the Edit feature instead.

problem solved. I restarted hammer and voila

ps. Ok i use edit

I understand this is Portal mapping site. Yet it's not, I have problems with mapping and need to post about it every time. It's not that it's a big deal, but that's all the threads we've had lately. People need to really learn how to map first.

its been said, and said, and said. this is not a n00bie mappers site, its a portal mappers site for those who know how to map. or atleast those who can figure out shit, and a site for those who enjoy user created content.

sleeper said once that he was gunna start auto-banning. if we (pointing no fingers here) keep it up i see this site going to shit. or the auto-bans becoming a real possibility

No I'm not going to auto-ban, I'm going to post a link to the stickies and lock the thread. Like so.
