I have encountered yet another compiling problem (hlcsg) Created 4 years ago2020-02-04 00:01:20 UTC by SirCobalt

In all likelihood I may discover the answer to my predicament shortly after posting this thread which will inevitably be followed by me getting extremely humiliated again. But I am literally stumped right now.

For some strange reason, my hlcsg is messing up (or more likely I've messed up) and is refusing to compile my map because apparently there's a remote brush in a restricted area of my map. I have checked thoroughly and there isn't a single entity out of bounds as far as I'm concerned.

Here's what the console says:

Having followed the link provided, unfortunately they do not provide a "detailed" explanation as much as I would prefer. I haven't a clue how to find areas of a map using coordinates, and fixing any broken brushes caused by vertex manipulation hasn't fixed the problem.

It's very awkward, but I require further assistance in my mapping endeavours and such assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

It's been a while since I've dusted off my Goldsource hat, but I seem to recall HLCSG sometimes throws the "outside world" error for invalid (usually concave) solids rather than things too far off the grid. Hammer 3.x might not have this (I don't recall when it was added) but see if you can use View>Go to Brush Number to find Brush 34 and check it, or otherwise use Map>Check for Problems to see if Hammer has detected an invalid solid.

It worked. For some reason some random brush was causing issues so I deleted it and replaced it. All is good, for now.

Just an example here

Error: Entity 4, Brush 0, Side 7: has a coplanar plane at (111, 222, 333), texture AAATRIGGER

Hint: The first number is X, second is Y, and third is Z (height). If you don't know how to locate it yourself in the map, when the console points a coordinate (not the "outside world" type as shown in your log, though), you can use these coordinate numbers to create a test point-entity as the "origin" value in your .map file. Then opening your map on the editor, you search for the test entity and you'll find the place of the supposed issue.
Just letting you know.
