LEAK (but I fixed it!) Created 20 years ago2004-05-06 21:19:42 UTC by msagera

there was a LEAK LEAK LEAK in my map compile log, so I surrounded the whole thing with a sky-textured hollow brush. In the compile log it doesn't say LEAK LEAK LEAK anymore, but the map is still bright as if it did Anyone know how to fix it? I really dont wanna start over...

First of all, you do not want to surround your map with a hollow box...that will kill your rendering speeds.

2nd, your map might be fullbright because you do not have any lights in your map yet. Are you using Zoners compiling tools or the one s that came bundled with Hammer? If you are using the HAmmer ones, amy God have mercy on your soul, go get Zoners! I dont know the exact link, but look up ZHLT in the forums search here in THWL or in Google

Since only the Quake-tools (yes, QUAKE) will give LEAK LEAK LEAK, you should get Zoner's Tools and try again.

You're probably not running all the compile programs. Check all their paths and all your setup options.

or you have microscopic leaks... i hate those!

You cant have microscopic leaks with a skybox...

and if oyu have you use th block methdode ore a leak finder!!!

you have a ligth or another minuscule entity outside the hollow block!

yah, that can happen! but, well i forgot what i was gonna say...

Thanks guys... I'm using the WC tools, but I am importing ZHLT right now

Very good
