I have the following error when I try to compile meta bsp:


************ ERROR ************
Line 15984 is incomplete


I found one explanation on the web:

Line xxx is incomplete
This can be caused by a custom shader that is missing parameters. Where xxx = the offending line in your shader.

The problem with that explanation is that no shader file is so big that it contains 15984 lines, so how could it be a shader file problem?

A second thing is that the error appears while the compiler “enters” my .map file. It has already “entered” all my .shader files prior to that with no error indication.

This leads me to the conclusion that maybe there is something wrong with the map file at line 15984. So, I opened the .map file with Word and I removed the whole brush containing that line. When I compiled it again it gave the same error at the same line. So, it looks like the problem is not with the map file.

Now I’m completely stumped. Could anyone help me out?
