My map which was working fine moment ago now will not run. When I try to load it (by opening portal and using the console, not through hammer) I get the error hl2.exe has stopped working.

Here is my compile log

This is driving me nuts so if you could help I would really appreciate it.

**Error loading studio model ""! ** Now that is pretty bad.

I read on another site that the error message you pointed out simply means a model set to the wrong prop type and isn't game breaking.

Unless they were wrong and you want to explain to me what the error really is my priority is fixing the problem that is causing the map to crash

Well looking at what you have here is bad, why? Can you tell why?

?
?

Well there is no prop specified, nor a model, and if it doesnt have one then something is pretty wrong. I also have a feeling its the grass material within your map, Wtf does Portal need grass for anyways.

The grass has been in the map for a long time that can't be the problem. I'm sorry if I don't want to re-hash what Valve did exactly.

If you aren't going to be rude instead of helping get out of the thread.

I had this error before and it was fixed by restarting my computer, though I'd assume you've of done that before posting.

Yes I tried reseting already, didn't work. Thanks though.

There are a ton of things that you can do wrong in Hammer that won't generate an error until you try to load it in Portal, where it locks up with no error message other than the game crashing.

Have you added anything out of the ordinary to your map?

All right I got it to work, it seemed to be related to overlays that got messed up after I changed the surface they were on to func_detail

Thanks for your help.
