If you renamed the.bsp, amke sure that all other files that use that name (shaders, .scr, etc.) have the updated name in them as well.

And make sure that your new name doesn't contain any spaces. If you have spaces in the name, replace them with underscores.

Tryed that everything is renamed properly. Still won't work...does the name have to be a certain length? Argh...getting angry. Thanks for the help.

try this. open up mohaa and type logfile1 in console. then start the game as if it worked. when u error occurs and mohaa goes back to the main room exit and go into ur main folder. find qconsole.txt and see what the error is.

At the risk of sounding like an ass-

I told you! :P

Don't you hate it when the solution has been sitting under your nose the whole time, and to boot, it's something incredibly obvious and simple? I sure do. :lol:
