Leak Problem.. Created 18 years ago2005-07-11 10:13:33 UTC by helious

Hi.. This is my first post.
I recently started mapping for HL1, and i read almost every useful tutorial here on the site.. But i have a problem.. I want to build a room like shown on this picture.. http://frip.dk/helious/Room1.JPG

Every wall tutches eachother, and there is both a floor and a cieling.. But in the log it says that i havevery many leaks.. I checked every wall and they all tutch eachother.. I really cant see the problem..

Im trying to make some custom "Rock" like walls to make it look like you are in a cave...

Go to: file > load pointfile
And select the pointfile with your maps name.
You should see lots of point rows, pointing to your leaks. But if you don't succeed, try making a box around your map and hollowing it... I do that, when i get pissed off, looking for leaks...

idont have anything called "Load Pointfile" :S

Im using the newest Worldcraft (The one coming with the newest version of the SDK from Sierras homepage):.

In hammer, select: FILE > Load Pointflie

can i use hammer with half life 1? Does it work the same way as Worldcraft? And how do i get it? Why dosent it come with the newest Half Life SDK? :S

Are you mapping for hl1 or hl2? Anywho - if you are mapping for hl1 - you get hammer 3.4 here and you get hammer 3.5 here...
First you must install 3.4 and after that - 3.5...

im mapping for HL1..
Does hammer work the same way as worldcraft?

Hammer is WorldCraft. VALVe renamed it when they went from 3.3 to 3.4, which you should definitely use.

The SDK provided by Sierra is evidently out-of-date. Along with Hammer 3.4 or 3.5, you should also be using Zoner's Half-Life Tools to actually do the compiling, as opposed to the antiquated Quake tools bizarrely provided.

As for the leak, consult this and this.

"Don't make a big box around your level!"
'
How do i then make a sky? :S

Depends on the map. A large hollow box encompassing the map is rarely a good idea for any reason.

put the map in the problem vault so we can accually point out the leak to

What is the "Problem Vault"?

In the map vault there is a problem maps section! Upload your map to that vault!
