PLEASE HELP! " Warning: Leaf por Created 15 years ago2009-05-24 11:33:18 UTC by psilous

Ok SO.. its been awhile since i've mentioned this map.. and even longer since i've worked on it..

but i've had a recent revolution on creating a version that wont crash on minimum requirement machienes and went to it.. (changed a texture or 2.. removed some overlapping .spr, and ones placed within solids, nothing major)

HOWEVER, I'm still having problems getting passed the leaf thread portion of compiling..

It gets to 96% and then locks up, (and usually it only takes an hour after locking up for it to start running again on this comp) but i let it sit for 24 hours and it STILL remained locked up.. so i had to close the compiling window, and cease operation all together.

ANYWAYS.. checking the log i came across something i had not previously noticed with other releases of the map, and was hoping someone could explain it to me, if its not that much of an inconvienence..

So.. This is NOT the most recent log, but it is the most recent log where the lights compiled properly, and here it is.

So my question was.. i was concerend at to what the leafthread vis was doing to get an error like that? and what the error means in the first place / ways to resolve it

heres a download link to most recent version if anyone would rather get to the grit on it for themselves:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4KZ6TX2V

Thank you, in advanced.

Your always so informative at this site.

ur buddy,

Warning: Leaf portals saw into leaf
Problem at portal between leaves 78 and 81

That usually means you have something in your map that is wayy to complex for the compiler to handle. Basically you crashed the engine. I would recommend compiling on Full vis, but you already are, so go check out the coordinates the compiler is giving you. In the case of the quoted error, the coordinates would be:

(1999.776 2243.701 1153.073)
(2000.000 2243.484 1132.781)
(2000.000 2240.377 992.000)
(1819.230 2054.043 992.000)
(1964.026 2207.974 1204.000)

Those are X, Y, and Z values within the hammer grid system. So just write down a few of those and move your mouse around (noting the coordinate position in the bottom of the screen) and see if there's any way you can simplify the geometry in that area.
If not, put a hint brush or 2 in there to cut the leafs.

Good luck!

Warning: Illegal Brush (edge without opposite face): Entity 0, Brush 355

Warning: Illegal Brush (edge without opposite face): Entity 0, Brush 443

Might want to fix those. If they don't show up when doing Alt+P you can find them manually by going "Map" ---> "Go to brush number..." then delete them and re-create them.

How on earth do you make an "edge without opposite face"?

How on earth do you make an "edge without opposite face"?

Incorrect use of the vertex manipulation tool probably...

ok ok..

THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS TETSUO, it worked perfectly as far as compiling the lights and the to point i can run on it..

ONE PROBLEM...

and here it is.

EVERYTIME i get in game and witness the sky textures (or mour or less my theory is the null textures of the solids near the sky texture) the game crashes claiming:

"HalfLife.exe has incountered fatal error, blah blah blah, needs to shut down."

it does not seem to be any of the entities, where as i can test them all except veiwing the .spr (because, go figuer, they are all in view as well as skybox when player is perceiving them)

and i can even look outside to the outter box (even spawn there) and it runs fine UNTIL i become close to the null solids..

Am i looking at the right problem here? have any of you experienced this, what would cause something like this to occure?

:/

This is the NEWEST most recent compile log, if it intrests you..

I couldn't be assed to read the latest log, but do you have a light_environment in there?

no light environment..

anyways, i've DEFINATELY pinpointed teh problem now.. and frankly.. IM STUMPED

it IS the sky texture.. for some reason the program just does not like it :/

which is weird to me because.. i've made sky textures befor for other maps and they work fine without any problems (dispite a few distictly looking boxed shape)

so.. i made the texture in photoshop (along with a few others)

• .tga format // 24 bit
• and compiled with the skyname being cl_psi
• with the sky's actual names being psiup, psidn, psirt, ect..

any particular reason this is not working?

maybe the gods just hate me.. :/

I do not want to have to make another sky, but if that seems to be the only remedy i suppose I must.

Then try putting in a light_environment, that could be your problem, as i had a problem with half life crashing when i tried to look at the sky, apparently i had to add a light_env.

cl_ is not needed anymore, and it will make you have the default skybox due to an unknown filename.

Yeah that's likely it. It has happened to me before. Try not setting a sky name at all, it'll automatically take the default one.

Ok, it's TOTALLY resolved now (and completed !)

"Thank You!" to everyone who offered a solution (and/or attempted to help)

for some reason I cannot get this site to accept a download link to a file.. so I just did something like this !
