I use Valve Hammer Map Editor. I was making a map was compiling fine and then randomly it decided it didn’t want to and started throwing out this error.

I have no idea whats causing the problem.
The only thing I think is have you re-named your map recently ? There used to be ( and I think still is ) an issue with map names going over a certain length and causing errors. Maybe trying to re-name your map to something reaaaaaly simple like «A» lol and see if that changes things. If not try the good old turn off hammmer / SDK / computer and re-start and see how things go . If you are still struggling then let us know. Maybe a full compile log would help.
I’ve done all of that. I have even copied the whole map to a new file. And it still gives me the error. This is the whole error it gives me.
The command failed. Windows reported the error: «The system cannot find the file specified.»
It was rendering fine the first 10 times then it just stopped.
Alright, I fixed the first problem. Now when I compile the map it won’t update. It just gives me a map that was made like 5 compiles ago.
I assume you saved the map in a different location.

That looks like the desktop
First try close hammer and then save map as something different then reopen it and try compile i know loads about hammer errors the amount of problems i’ve had in 5 years with it. Useally that «The command failed. Windows reported the error:» seems to be just problem with hammer i useally restart steam or rename map and it should work. Also probley won’t fix but click maps/check for errors.

You appear to be launching your non-existent at this point) map in the game, then running VIS and RAD. You should be running BSP, then VIS, then RAD, then launching. Dread to think how that got screwed up.
Ive had this proplem one time. I copied my map out of the order and compiled it again Try this!

Your problem has an easy solution: Hammer refuses to detect folders with an space between characters, and you have one there, — ¨kevin w¨. So, just rename it ¨to kevin_w¨ ir whatever you want or move the file to a folder without spaces in its name.
You´re welcome
I’ve got this error when trying to compile a map. please help.

I’m new to Hammer, and I really have no idea what I’m doing. I loaded cs_militia, and I want to make an arctic version of it. So, all I’m doing is changing the textures. So I turned the ground into snow, but then when I run it I get this message: ‘The system cannot find the file specified’
