Tommy14 is your friend.
Basically the brushwork is too complex in the area your log is telling you about. Check out the brushes near the coordinates. Try func_walling some, using a hint brush

Or try compiling on -full.

Wrong section. should be in source engine discussion. You'll get better feedback there.

I'm afraid of the arch tool. No clue why. But that's good to know i'll have to try it out.

I made a video just for you.
Enjoy it or i'll shoot you.
My method works with 6, 8, 12, and 16 sides.
I recommend not using a grid less than 4 units. There's a larget margin of error.
As long as you scale each successive ring by the same value for each side, this work beautifully. If you want, i can post another video of me making a dome with a larger number of sides.
It works the best when you have a perfectly symmetrical starting polygon.
That's the key.

learn to optimize your map.
It's all trial and error.
The more you map, the better you get at it as well.

yes. but if it's a func_water, only the top (x/y plane) will be visible.
And each face of the brush has to be the same texture, but im sure you know that already.

are you using the right fgd?
I'll bake you a cake pengi.
copy-paste into a new map and try that.
congrats again docrock
Actually he's the re-incarnation of Nostradamus
So if i get my current mapping project in the vault before 08 it'll be accteped in the voting for best of 07?
I'm putting a crap-ton of effort into my current map. More than any other i have to say
I'll have to have a browse thru the map vault.

Oh jesus there's a lot of criteria here.
It'll take me a while.

Yeah. Just keep doing what you're doing. Everything you have shown thus far has been amazing so the final product has to be outstanding. (Amazing * n product = outstanding)
Plus i just don't think that water that flashy can look so good in such a dated engine. But you do some damn good things in it.

No it's 256 man.

(1560.159 275.480 -154.041)These are the co-ordinates of the problem area. (X, Y, Z format)
Go in your top view and move the mouse around until you're in the general area, and go simplify the brushwork in those areas. (The location of the cursor can be found by looking at the bottom right in the lower status bar)
You can also try the following:
Use a HINT brush in that area,
Compile without the -fast option. (regular compile, or full vis)
http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=71 - HINT brush tutorial. Basically, they split up vis leaves for the engine.(could possibly reduce compile times) It won't render anything behind it (in-relation to the player) unless the brush is seen. The tutorial explains it better.
Hope it helps.
Hmm. I guess i'll just have to wait and see the finished product then!
Good luck with the rest of your map!

LMAO at shipment of fail.
The blue is supposed to be transparent.
You WANT the blue to show up?
I can't imagine why.

If you want to do this the cheating way, here's what i'd do.
First off, make the door back to normal. Just have the door a regular, open when walk into, door and then do the following.
make a brush (on the HEV side) in front of the door. Make it the same size as the door. Tie it to an entity, and make it into a func_wall_toggle. Name it like door_lock or something.
Render mode: texture
Render fx: 1
This will make the wall essentially invisible.
Once triggered by the HEV suit, it'll just disappear, and then your door will be accessible . Basically, just block the door with the invisible func_wall_toggle. Not too far away from the door that it's too noticeable. 8 units should do nicely.

LMAO i forgot i said that.
Btw rim i commented the jump map.
I'm all for the water idea.

!!!! the Dynamic water!!
That's amazing.

I see a re-occurring theme of rectangles
Yeah. That means you're looking into the void. Did the compile say anything about a leak? seal that sucker up!
Entities cannot seal the map from the void. (Like a Func_wall) So make a brush, and cover up that hole.
Leaks are the arch nemesis of mappers. But with time, neat building techniques prevent leaks from starting.

won't be til TWHL3 i think.
But. That's hopefully soon anyway.

Pure Red/Green/Blue are showed as black ingame, if you want them to be transparent just follow a { transparent texture tutorial, if you want them to be seen ingame make non pure colors qhen doing the texture. Example: 0 0 254 or 254 0 0
There go my hopes of winning.Still entering tho. The only maps i've been releasing lately have been for compos.
I DO however have a Dm map in the works. it's about 80% done. And The goldsrc engine just about hates me because of it too.
what.. the gun or the water?
The water is sweeeettt Looking.
I must say, if your're seriously considering this, i'm even more excited.

Sweet. Can't Wait. And i'll try not to procrastinate this time! 
Okay. The blue texture means that the blue areas are sopossed to be transparent when viewed in-game.
When you compile and run the map, the blue squares will be black.
In order to make them transparent, you have to turn the brush into an entity, make it a func_wall. Render mode: solid Render FX: 255
And you have a brush outside world. This is not necessarily a leak, but there's a brush either too close to the edge of the grid, or off of it completley. you want to have your map as close to the center (X,Y,Z) origin of the grid as possible. Or else errors such as this:
When you select things. They turn red. Darker colors tend to turn black. blue turns black. Red turns black, Sometimes even green. It just happens really. (in the texture application tool, you can tick the [hide mask] box to get rid of the highlight [mask] to better see the texture you're manipulating. Unfortunatley, i don't know a way to hide the mask using just the normal select tool)

Um.
Texturing needs some work.
The wall texture is aligned to the center of the wall.
The radioactive and lambda textures, are bass-ackwards (align to face)
That button doesn't strike me as a button.
Good use of decals with the vent, And the inset lighting is Decent.
Overall. It's Okay, BUT, With better texturing, and some more detail it could be great!

The vista one ain't bad. (well it's better than the old I.E.s) Yet, firefox does work with vista. :
All windows has to do is not include IE with their operating systems. Force people to get firefox or opera or something.
Why aren't Vis and Rad running?
Get zoner's compile tools - http://downloads.ammahls.com/zhlt/zhlt34f-src.zip - They're 400% better
So you have green and Blue textures. That are not showing up in the 3-d view in hammer? My only guesses could be
1) too many wad files loaded in options (you don't want more than eight, combine some)
2) Wrong directory for wad files ( i know you can browse for them, but you usually want them in the valve folder, or mod folder: cstrike, dod, etc)

WOW! 
New stuff!

Sweet. I liked how you had Reviews for Everyone.
Congrats Doc, Trapt, Doodle!
that's the leetsauce right there
Results tonight.
ooh.new water? im intrigued
well.. yeah.. :
have a look at my kitchen map. Both of them.
All custom textures used ONLY mspaint and wally.

true, but that doesn't require a multisource. That'll over-complicate things. If a door has a trigger activating it. Only the trigger will open the door.[i think, if i can recall] Or there's a way other than a multisource to achieve the same effect.
I see.
Well, when you put it that way, i think this might have to be a beta-testing issue. See if you/whomever plays it likes how it integrates them with the environment and puzzles.
