WARNING: node with unbounded volume Created 17 years ago2007-10-05 21:49:14 UTC by kc8kjp

Ok, i have a map with a 3-D skybox, with the sky camera in the right place, a light enviorment and the citadel in it, in the actual map i have some fancy displacements and a few prop statics and physics, nothing too fancy yet, but im not exactly sure what this WARNING: node with unbounded volume, and even though ive read the problem, im not quite sure what it means

Well I've never experienced this problem before, but what I suggest you do is look for a brush entirely contained within an other brush, or a brush that has a face with no width (IE, VM'ing the verts together but not actually merging them).

You've got a leak.

Leaks can cause all sorts of errors.

Fix the leak, the problem will probably go away.

Aww shucks, I though I had this one covered.
