My God, I haven't used that program in years! Although when I was using it, it was called Worldcraft I think :p

It's something to do with this part:
----- BEGIN hlvis -----
Command line: C:\HAMMER~1\tools\hlvis.exe c:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\desktop\jjk
Error: Portal file 'c:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\desktop\jjk.prt' does not exist, cannot vis the map

I can't remember exactly...but don't you have to point the hlvis as well as the hlcsg files to the correct paths / folders? took me ages to get my first map working....

I'll look up on a site matey, see what I can find, used to have some cracking websites favourited :)

**EDIT**

Are you going via STEAM as well presumably?

I used this yeaaaaars ago...might still work as a valid link...

http://web.pdx.edu/~anaser/hammer.html

Worked for me, baring in mind I haven't set it up in god knows how long!

Just double check everything, I would rather put things in proper directories as well, rather than all over your desktop.

Nah no steam - its with a version before steam - long story and due to us playing it at work on older machines with no internet access.

I used it before as worldcraft and it worked!

Could be a long filename thing - ill check that but if you have any other ideas....
 
Just look up for worldcraft / hammer setup then on google without steam :) Theres loads on there really.

I'll try and have a think today if I can though.

Silly question, you have got it all i a skybox haven't you? Or whatever it's called nowadays.

Might be worth going all over your map and checking for 'leaks' as they call them as well....Making sure no blocks are overlapping etc and the spawn points aren't clipping or something.

i have no skybox?
just a cube....

the main room is made from a hollowed out cube - so should be nothing overlapping....
