leaks Created 19 years ago2004-06-24 13:14:39 UTC by zeeba-G

how do you fix those leaks that dont even realy show you where they are but it says you have a lot ?

...Sometimes I get them too. Does it claim that your infoPlayerstart is in the void when it isnt?

It means you have lots of holes in your map. Make your maps more carefully.

oh well the leaks dont effect the game play but when i compile them and send them in will it ?

If you have lights in your map, RAD wont run and the leak will screw up VIS. Also, it will make your r_speeds go through the roof, if you have a big complex map.

You do not release maps with errors, especially not major errors like leaks!

shit theres like 15 leaks and its my comp map man im screwed, but like i sayed they dont mess up my map at all so does it REALY matter?

Theres a program by botman that points out leaks in a leaked map.

It's not by botman as far as I know. It's called LeakMarker and it's here.

thanks

there are a few ways of easly finding leaks.

1: create giant boxes covering portions of the map, and compile while having little portions uncovered with the box. Then, compile adn see if you get a leak error. If you do, you know the leak is in that little area. You can repeat this.

2: Create a box around your whole map, big, and make it hollow. Create a light_Environment in there and make it super bright. Use a silly color that is recognizable, like a gross light green. then, compile and walk around til you see the green leaking into your map. That would be were the leak is.

also, take out all the over lights in your map if you do that second method.

Expect a tutorial on this fairly shortly.
