Hi, I return with an error:
Basically i have been fiddling with hammer trying to set up control points. After I added 5 control points it stopped compling and when i ran a test i just got the last version i complied. I got this error:

"System cannot find the file specified"

So i tryed saving with annother file name and a few other things and this wouldnt work.

When I restarted Hammer and loaded the map it told me something along the lines of:

"Unexpected character '{' " 

...and then Hammer would crash.
So I opened up the vmx in notepad and went to the line number it told me the unexpected character was on. It was amoungst the settings for one of my team_control_point entities. So I deleted the entry for that entity from the file and tryed openeing it with hammer again. I got the same error again but on a different line. It was annother of my control points so i did the same. This happened again with all of my team_control_point entities except for my last one which Hammer didnt seem to have a problem with.

So for some reason it has rejected all of my CPs except for the central one.

Any Ideas whats going on here? I had this problem before but i didnt work out any of the problems that time around.

Cheers.

well it was either having quotes in the printname or having a space in the printname. do I just use _ if i want a space?

Don't use "" on names.  It causes hammer crashes.
