ummm.. thats really strange. maybe.. download vmex and decompile your last version of the bsp.. than start working from there. then at the things that isnt in that version you can copy that from the broken file.. hope you understand what i mean

I understand your idea, but I haven't got any earlyer compiled versions, but that's a good lesson for the next time

check your map for problems in hammer.
try to remove entities one by one (especialy prop_physics entities), these could have caused the bounce against metal you described.
other than that, no clue...

I did it slightly different. I just grabbed chunks of the map, and copied it into a new map, and piece by peice it seems to be working again. (90% or so is done)

But thanks alot everyone for your reply's :thumbup:

for future reference, Hammer is doing an autosave (five autosaves to be more precise) in a directory you choose in Options :wink:

Test Chamber 74:
(percentage calculation sphere self-test failed!)
108.1% done, -8.1% remaining...
Released here!

All maps for Portal (1/2) worth playing are mirrored here.
