can someone tell me how to fix problem when compiling OS map.The problem is when it finishes compiling I look in my maps folder and all I get is a temporary uncompressed cache file.

Type in tool 'os_tool build-cache-file-ex "" 0 0 1 <scenario>'

when it finished compiling I look in the maps folder and all I got was a temporary uncompressed cache file.

That means tool did not finish...

That or you typed in build-cache-file-ex <mod-name> 1 1 1 <scenario>
Here is the help from the Open Sauce wiki

build-cache-file-ex
Builds a cache file with extra Open Sauce arguments. Output cache file will be in .yelo format instead of .map if use-memory-updates is on.

(the first "1")
create-anew - Should new data-files be created before building the cache?

(the second "1")
store-resources - Should the scenario's bitmaps/sounds/locale data be stored in the data-files?

(the third "1")
use-memory-upgrades - Does the scenario require Open Sauce's memory upgrades to run? Produces .yelo file instead of .map

Your error has something to do with the data-files, so you should try using 0 0 1 instead, cause that's what happened to me and doing the 0 0 1 fixed it.

I already did 0 0 1 and korman told me to get latest version of OS so I did now I get this

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

EXCEPTION (that's all I know!)

okay: os_tool build-cache-file-ex modname create-anew store-resources memory-upgrade path/to/scenario/scenario-name

modname: This won't affect your map unless you are planning to make a with shared tag-collection, for like.... mapseries using same tags..(A.F.A.I.K.)

create-anew: This should not be used if you have already compiled your map(you failed this one right? if so, put 1), This puts a copy of your maps "source code" into OpenSauce, so that it knows you use OpenSauce content in it. If you've already compiled it(with os_tool build-cache-file-ex) before, you just put 0 from now on. EDIT> you can put 1 or 0 afterwards, it'd only make a difference on a super-slow computer(maybe) where you'd notice the different speed of the compilation process

store-resources: This tells your map that instead of putting all of its custom sounds and bitmaps into sounds.map and bitmaps.map, it will either be referenced with OpenSauce-storage, or stored directly into your map.(ask the developer, I don't know which one is the truth :P )

memory-upgrade: Like everyone says: This makes your wanted .map into a .yelo instead, BUT it also tells your map that it will be using a higher tagspace capacity(also A.F.A.I.K., I'vent made a .yelo of my own yet.)

Basically if you want to compile a map(after installing OpenSauce) you'd have to use os_tool build-cache-file-ex modname # # # yourmap

For any generic map you'd probably just use blahblah 1 0 0 yourmap (If you've never compiled it into a map yet)

and then 0 0 0 (If you have compiled it into a .map or .yelo before)

If it still isn't working, have you upgraded your OS?
