qbsp2 encountered error... Created 19 years ago2004-07-16 00:51:29 UTC by Nahotnoj

hi, i just started tfc mapping today, and followed all of the tutorial instructions exactly up till you test the first time and are supposed to end up in a disgusting pink room. well, when it was compiling, windows brings up a message telling me that "qbsp2 encountered a problem and needed to close" etc. so then when it loads in tfc, after it finishes loading, it gives me the same "encountered a prob and needed to close" message for half-life launcher.

help!

What does the compile log say?
Get a copy of Zoner's Half-Life Tools (Click here for the link) and try again.

Zoner's Tools replace the old 'q' tools (qbsp, qrad, etc).

hrm... i tired it again with zoner's tools, and the same thing happened, except with the "hlbsp" file.

What does the compile log say? Did you use the 'Check for Problems' tool?

this is what the compile log says, and i dont klnow anything about the "check for problems" tool.

Warning: === LEAK in hull 0 ===
Entity info_player_start @ (-128, 128, -64)
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

There is a leak in your map. Read the leak message.

Dude, you use 1 texture in your map and it is from the liquids wad? delete all the tfc wads unless you are gonna make a map for TFC. The hlbsp error is pretty self explanatory.

well i AM making a tfc map

"hi, i just started tfc mapping today,"

i dont see why a leak would cause hlbsp to not work.

It does work but it ruins the map. Especially if you want a multiplayer map which has to have VIS compiled (it doesnt actually have to, but it runs better).

well what should I do?

i dont see how i could have a leak. I followed the tutorial exactly.

If you have any entities/entity-brushes touching the void, that will cause LEAK.

hrm... this is odd, At first it was my light causing the LEAK, i had apparently placed it inacurately and it was touching the void. So i deleted it, placed it not touching the void, and i still had a LEAK. So then, i tired edleting the light and just trying without it, and then it said that my info_player_start was causing the LEAK. I dont get this.

Tying sky to entities also gives bsp errors

OK, nevermind people, i got this working... i dont know why it was doing that before though... the info_player_start thing.
