Spirit crashes Half-Life Created 17 years ago2007-01-16 16:54:37 UTC by Kinrah

Ever since I installed Spirit, I have been unable to compile any maps, whether I use the Spirit Hammer configuration or not. There's nothing wrong with my most recent compile log, save a leak that I need to find in game, but still, the game loads up the console, then 'Half-Life Launcher has encountered an error and needs to close'. And I know it isn't barney.wad that's causing the problem, since I have compiled a map just fine with it before.

Here's the compile log anyway, in case it can help somebody work this out.

Entity info_player_start @ ( 849,-592, 157)
Error:
A LEAK is a hole in the map, where the inside of it is exposed to the
(unwanted) outside region. The entity listed in the error is just a helpful
indication of where the beginning of the leak pointfile starts, so the
beginning of the line can be quickly found and traced to until reaching the
outside. Unless this entity is accidentally on the outside of the map, it
probably should not be deleted. Some complex rotating objects entities need
their origins outside the map. To deal with these, just enclose the origin
brush with a solid world brush

You may want to fix the leak first.

That's another problem. The pointfile loops over itself so much on the 2D views that the only way I know how to find it is to manually locate it in-game.

There was a problem compiling the map.
>> Check the file C:SierraHalf-Lifevalvemapstransitcar
test.log for the cause.

What does this log say?

Exactly the same as the compile log posted above. I know the cause for the problem in VIS and RAD, and that's the leak which I need to get in to fix.

You should try to get Sohl 1.5a4, and if that doesn't work you should delete your entities one by one to see which one is causing problems. And also, fixing the leak might help.

Ok, I think I fixed it by switching out of OpenGL mode. I was able to use OpenGL with a leaking map before, so I don't know what caused it if Spirit didn't.
