Bug of unknown cause

Posted May 26, 2011
I've had a problem with Hammer on several different (yet simple!) maps.
All the map has in it entity-wise are 2 turrets, a hard-light bridge, a prefab Faith plate (not too skillful with the instance), a prop_tractor_beam, and some instances for elevators and the funnel frame.
oh, and some glass. that's it. The turrets worked fine in previous tests of the same file, but the save I currently have compiles the map, loads portal 2 has the loading screen for the map, but right as the map is about to spawn, Portal 2 quits. It doesn't crash, it just quits.

Finished. Press a key to close.
The bold stuff is in yellow on my screen, and the map isn't optimized yet.
(hence all the lighting bounces)
Is this glitch a common, explainable, facepalm-worthy occurrence or is it something specific that I've forked up?

Lighting bounces are not bad, in fact they're good. That is lighting being calculated.
Are you able to load the map through the console, just starting Portal 2 normally? Without running it through Hammer?

got a Bit farther on that front, it just repeats the first sound in the map twice and THEN quits.

Don't double post.
And try posting your VMF or BSP. You can do it as attachments, no need to upload to the DLDB.

I'm probably being a N00B and searching in the wrong place here, but it says both BSP and VMF are forbidden.
EDIT: so THATS how you edit posts!

Yeah, wow, the button that says "Edit" edits the post.
You can upload a BSP or a VMF as a post attachment. You can't upload them to the DLDB. Guess which one I was telling you to do.

[s]Your prop_tractor_beam isn't sealed. Put a noclip around it.[/s]
Nevermind. I'm also a noob. I opened the vmf from my downloads folder and Hammer didn't load the instances.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous...
I've stripped it down to a BOX and the elevators and it still doesn't work.
So it's not he entities.

Have you tried Hammer's "Check for Problems" tool?

Learn something new every day.
it says there's no player start but there's 2 problems with that:
1. the player start is in the instance and has worked fine before
2. if there's no player start, doesn't Hammer automatically put one at (0,0,0)?
(that's happened to me before)

EDIT: Plus I added one and that didn't fix it.

Got it. In the Map properties, I changed "Display game title" to no and it now works.

- Don't trust them. Apparently the a4_base turbine elevator instance doesn't have one. I had to stick one in.
- Possibly, but I don't think you can move, it might just be a statically inserted viewpoint.
EDIT: Hmm. Don't know what's up then.

See my comment above for the fix. Also, add some lighting.

The elevator instances don't have player starts, the arrival_departure_transition_ents instance does.
