I have encountered a leak in my map that I cannot seem to find by myself. I am trying to work with the pointfile but when I load it in Hammer, I can't see the points! Does anybody have any ideas on how I could fix this? Do I alter the pointfile settings? - HeAdCrAb KILLA

There are no points. Its only a colored line, going from blue to red.
You'll have much more luck with the .lin file. This file leads directly to the leak. Select NO when you load the pointfile, and open the mapname.lin yourself. Follow the line from blue to red. The leak is located near the end of the red line.
This is my experience, and it works.

I think it's in your .Rmf directory!

OK I loaded both files into Hammer but they didn't help me at all. NOTHING appears as a guide (lines) in Hammer so I have no clue to where the leak is. - HeAdCrAb KILLA

There are, in my opinion, far better ways to find leaks. Search for the leak-related HL article on RUST.

OK, well the .lin file line appears in the 2D windows but not in the 3D window. Can I just follow that line? The line is red and zig zags almost everywhere. - HeAdCrAb KILLA

Weird. Your best bet is too upload the map in the Problem Maps Vault so we can have a look. Something wrong, becus there HAS to be a line in the 3D screen.

Just follow it! It took me years to find it's start for it didn't start at any entity!

Muzzle and Headcrab, leak lines in the 3D port were only added in 3.5b.

If you want that feature, yes. I prefer the big block method myself.
