hl1 maps in server issue..............
FATAL ERROR (shutting down): Host_Error: PF_precache_generic_I: Bad string '////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////'
This is the error i chased most of 2013 up to feb.2014
now most would think this is a model error or somthing else in the BSP file so did i early on ,Last year i did a string of maps
gxx_gun_fight 1,2,3, then
gtx_newyears_fight_2014 ( this map threw me this error could not run it in the steam counter strike 1.6 server i had test the other in ) so i ported it to dod for use ( IT WORKED THERE ONLY BECAUSE THE RES FILE WAS FROM ANOTHER SOURCE)
well today i have found that the RES file that is made using the 17 BUDDIES PROGRAM ( I am using the newest version or 2nd newest one )
anyways after trying steam on different drives and valve hammer on different drives and using FGD tools from different sources and trying different textures and trying reducing custom textures to smaller scale and trying just a plaing box with one light and player spawns ...
( also friends who downloaded my maps to there servers using the 17b RES file reported that the "maps worked then stoped working ")
this is what i found out
DO NOT USE THE RES FILE MADE FROM A 17 BUDDIES PROGRAM !
USE ...
