PackBSP / BSPZIP Failing

[acelove27]

I've been trying to use PackBSP to add custom content into my map, and everything inputs fine until I actually try and pack the map. Then I'm hit with the message "An error occurred while creating a copy of the map with packed content."

Not sure what to do, but here's the part of the log that I think is relevant:

Strange. Something is exploding when it tries to run Valve's bspzip.exe program.

I don't see anything obviously wrong with the command string...

As a temporary workaround, you can can copy-paste the packing-list PackBSP generates to a file of your own choice, and use that file when running bspzip manually. (See "Adding a list of files".)

Actually, that would also be something worth testing: If bspzip.exe still explodes when you do it manually, then maybe something is wrong with Source SDK.

Funny that you should say that. I've previously noted that the source SDK version of vtex returns the above error. I managed to get around it by using the Left 4 Dead 2 version instead. I'm noticing the same thing here, for some reason it seems as if all of the source SDK tools (the command-line ones) have this error.

I've also noted this error in starting various steam applications, but a restart of steam usually fixes those. I've found threads where people talk about this, but I never found a solution. Not sure if reinstalling the SDK would fix it or not.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, I ended up using a filelist I had previously typed up, and just manually using the Left 4 Dead 2 bspzip.

EDIT: Reinstalling Source SDK and 2006 + 2007 base seems to have worked.

Ironically, it uses Valve's bspzip.exe because "it'll be more reliable to use the manufacturer's own tool"...

This.

That was pretty much exactly what I thought, and to make matters worse, it's started happening again. I might try just reinstalling the 2007 base this time though, since I think that's where the orangebox bspzip is included.
