"func_breakable" entity tied to it, or "func_door/func_door_rotating" which makes things you shouldnt be able to see visible before you should see them.
!?can anyone help me?!
no walls? black void?

Well im compleatly stumped. I made this map, it has glass inside the doors. sometimes while standing at different angles to the doors or even some of the walls in the map, you can see right thru them into a black void. The same thing happens to brushes with the

OH! ok, this is an easy one.
You are short serfaces. This is caused by the leak in your map. A leak is where there is a hole in your map that leads to the outside black. Just find that hole, fix it, and you should be fine.
Oh, and are thee any entitys out side of the walls? Like, are your doors leading into the black? That could also be a leak.

Ok...so thats the problem. Usually when making a map i first build the main part and compile it to see how it looks. Then when its done I just put a box around the map and hollow it out. Would it make a difference if i used a different method of fixing leaks?

about the leak thing, does it work if i just put a "sky" box around the whole map, because iv seen many maps that have no leaks but have the same problem as my map. For example most of the maps from the mod "Battle of the Melinum" have this problem of dissapearing walls and "func_doors ,and func_breakables" It just seams to me like there has to be more to this than just leaks in the map.

No, it's not a leak, IEMC. If you notice (which should be easily), the textures are blocky, which means software rendering. Switch to OpenGL or Direct3D (OpenGL recommended).
On another note, please, no more Big Mother____ing Pictures, use a JPG/JPEG.

Oh yeah, it's also why it's solid black and not a Hall Of Mirrors effect.

See up top in the corner where it says "Short ## Surfaces" Are you compiling with Vis set to fast? Use the "Compilation Controller V.1.4"
if your compile freezes up when you try compiling it fully.
Skyboxs, No!
Instead just put brushes covering the openings. Also, if you have no lights in your map, this will also cause your map to be put in full bright.
Good Luck, and happy mapping

Have you actually tried OpenGL? It seems like everyone is ignoring my comment...

Well Mustang like I said above use the Compilation Controller V1.4.
This compiles maps alot faster and doesn't freeze up at all.
Heres the link-->
http://www.snarkpit.com/editing.php?page=files&game=HL&type=utilities
Its called "HLCC 1.4"
Theres also a tutorial there to help you set it up.

Use OpenGL. I suspected it might be this from the start, and this will correct the issue. Direct3D'll work too, but not as well on most cards.
