If its the same error message as before use the visgroups to turn off everything but displacements, select the lot and then hit the move to world button

Use this trick:

You will have to search by hand as the compiler many times gives wrong brush numbers (happened often enough here that the number didnt work here also).

And moving it to world is indeed the fix. displacements act like func_details anyway

Argh, youme beat me to it already

I'm actually not having issues with compiling anymore. I'm having issues with entities not appearing, the original reason I posted this thread.

Are your entities custom props?

We need to know what the entity type / world model name is you are trying to use and what the settings are for it if you really want help.

If you're lazy (like me) just take a screenshot of the properties box using ALT + PrtScr, paste the image into MSPaint or something, save it as a gif (or jpeg), and upload it to imageshack.us , www.imagefilez.com , or some other image hosting site.

For example:

(ignore the red square highlight, image was for a tutorial I gave up on)

You can see the problem here; as far as I can tell, everything is right and yet the entities just are there, visually or physically.

What happens if you use another prop (a beer keg for instance)?

There are different props there, and it happens on every single map I've started so far. It doesn't matter what the prop is, there's some guarantee that SOMETHING with disappear SOMEWHERE.
