Can't find leak in Hammer Created 12 years ago2012-04-20 00:34:55 UTC by kingcole436

I have been constantly searching and searching, and I cannot find this "leak" and I am begginning to wonder if it is even a leak.

It generated a leakpoint file, which is empty...

Help appreciated! Thanks!

Also, here is my Compile log:

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

upload the RMF to the problem maps vault so someone can take a look. There is a leak - compiles don't usually lie.

Cover half the map in solid sky and compile. If you still get leak it's in the uncovered half. Cover it and cut the sky in half again. Repeat this till it gets very small and you will find it easily.

EDIT: It means the leak is inside the sky brush.

Upload it (The map). We could try to help you fix it. Is it for source?

Seeing as I posted this in the Half-Life engine section, no, its not for source. And Ill head on over and upload it now.

EDIT: Alright I can't upload, I am trying to upload a RMF but it keeps saying that its an incorrect file type. I have it checked, a screenshot and all that.

And looking at the compile log, I think its something to do with multi_managers, but the cords for the entity are way outside the map boundaries and I can't even scroll to them.

Here is the part: Leak pointfile generated

the map vault requires .zip or .rar files.

Press alt + p and see if there are any reports of "empty" entities. It's not necessarily anything to do with those multimanagers - they're just the closest entity to the leak.

If it's a leak, do what bruce was saying, I just take a normal textured brush and cover a chunk of the map. Compile an dif you don't get the leak, the leak is somwhere your brush is covering. If not, move the brush somewhere else until it compiles fine. Then keep making the brush smaller until you pinpoint the location. Make sure entities aren't outside the map etc. Or brushes with weird textures on them like origin or something.

Alright, I have the map uploaded and with the option to re-upload if someone finds the fix: http://twhl.info/vault.php?map=5774

IMPORTANT Note about the map: I am currently mapping for the mod Sven-Coop and some entity's (Mainly NPCS) use its FGD stuff. Don't think this will be a problem for finding a leak though.

Thanks for the help so far guys, appreciated.
