thanks for all your help, got it working.
looks like theres an error in zoners wad.
whenever i used it it came upwith the leak.
it wasnt in the half life directory though.. i dont know if that could cause the problem... anyhow, i got it working thanks alot! :biggrin:

it says theres a leak on the sample map downloaded from this site! (beginning)
i tried making a new one:
make a box, make it hollow with 32 thick walls,
make an entity, (info_player_start)
run and it gives me the error
Warning: === LEAK in hull 0 ===
Entity info_player_start @ ( 0, 64, 64)

the start is in the box in all three dimensions

ok thanks BJ i think you isolated my problem- i just executed csg through explorer, said i didnt have MSVCP60.dll, so i downloaded it, but in the zoners directory, now i have a diff error however- :roll:
it says theres a leak and that its my light, and i removed the light now it says its the info_player_start. it seems to be enclosed in the box just fine heres my log though:
thanks again for the help guys

probably should not be deleted. Some complex rotating objects entities need
their origins outside the map. To deal with these, just enclose the origin
