Either you have no sky box; your map is off the grid somewhere; your spawn points are in the middle of a brush or mesh; or all 3.

[xgunner]

Thnk i did that but i still get that last error about too many surface edges how would i get that increased? Also when i load the map it says in the console it cannot find the bsp even though i have it in the main\maps\dm folder with all the other map's files wats the deal?

[k47a]

When I compile a map it says that it can't find the map either, but the map loads nevertheless...

[hogleg]

If I remember correctly surface edge error means you have custom pk3's in ur main folder. Move them else where.

[xgunner]

NOpe i took out all my custom .pk3s and yes i do have my entdefs installed

[xgunner]

ok a little more on my map. Pretty much right now its a platfrom inside a block. I have 2 allied starting points and 2 axis. i have a .map file, a .bak file, a builder.bat, a .prt, a .vis and a .bsp. THats it.

When i look at the console now it tells me it cant find player spawned point name "" or that it can't find a .min. or it can't find the .bsp

[hogleg]

and yes i do have my entdefs installed

Ok, all u need is the bsp file.....
This is a good place to start;
