Subject description: Need help!
 

Ok, so here's the story so far:
I've configured it exactly the same as the tutorial i found here:
http://www.valve-erc.com/srcsdk/Hammer/html/Manually_Config_Hammer.html

and made a map following this tutorial that i found here
http://tutorials.moddb.com/98/beginners-guide-to-valve-hammer-editor/?fpage=1 (but with some more complex shapes and stuff)

The map is for CounterStrike:Source, however i've had exactly the same problems making maps for HalfLife2 Deathmatch.

I can make my map without any problems, but when i click "run map" it pops up with an erorr.

The Command failed. Windows reported the error: "The system cannot find the path specified." Do you want to continue?

Click Yes and it runs the game the map was designed for, but only gets as far as it's main menu.

The Compile Process Window has this to say

I really need help because i'm quite proud of the map i've made (inspired by fy_twotowers.

So far i've figured out the following:
The map i am saving is called fy_towers_VS.vmf and when i click run it's looking for a map called fy_towers_VS.bmp.
There's no (obvious) way for me to change the format the map is saved to as .vmf is the only option in the "save as type" drop-down box in the "Save as" menu. I'm pretty sure it's being saved to the right folder.

So far i've tried:
Saving the file as .vmf, but renaming the shortcut from fy_towers_VS.vmf to fy_towers_VS.bsp

I've got no idea what i'm doing, and it seems the only time i need experience is the only time i don't have it...

I would be very grateful if anyone could help me.
I would be willing to make a beautiful sig for anyone who provides any helpful information.

I'm a great believer in stating the obvious...as sometimes that is the answer.

You haven't gone and saved it in a half life 2 folder or something?

Try that:

Launch Source SDK tool.

On the Source SDK menu, doubleclick Reset Game Configurations, then Reset.
And just start Hammer, and try to compil your map again.

Try compiling the Map manual and external from Hammer by using the attached Batch File.

Its still edited for your needs and you only need to place it somewhere - Desktop for example . Then grab your map.vmf and pull it over the compile.bat file. The compileing should start when you release the vmf over the compile.bat and the newly created bsp should appear directly on your Desktop.

Download by right click and "save as"--> http://www.exs-clan.eu/attachments/compile.bat
