Leaked map/Pointfile pierce through wall

Post by Szabolcs271 » December 28th, 2012, 1:56 pm

Hi.
I wanted to make a map but at the compiling it said error ****leaked*****
I've already known what is it but cannot solve. I red about that and about pointfile and how to solve but nobody wrote about this case so much.
Can anybody help me to solve this? Any ideas? I added a picture about the pointfile!
(And I think this causes that the map not updating... Tried to look all the reflection probes...Or any kind of "leaks" in the wall...)

Make sure your skybox is properly sealed, the best way to avoid skybox leaks is to delete all of your sky brushes and recreate them.

Post your compile log(console output when compiling), with 'verbose' ticked in your compile tools.

Solved.
SOLUTION: Never try to use E-button function at main walls...
SOLUTION2: Try to save map as a different name. And search for the leak with the point file. If it show something weird(go through wall) make a big brush seperate that part. Compile (wait and if it write another leak, look after in the pointfile again..again..again..) Then in the map repair those.. :)

I almost forgot : Thanks for help Rezil! :)

E = Edge manipulation.

In CoD1 where mitred corners were good practice, I used E for every wall and skybox.

Well, you'd have to know what you're doing. Edge manipulation can have some nasty effects if you're not careful(creating tiny brushes that cannot be selected, triangular brushes that make the editor go nuts sometimes etc.)

Edge manipulation is simple. The only thing to remember with edge manipulation is that you should always end with the same amount of edges you started with. The moment you change the amount of edges (make a triangle out of a square for example) you fuck shit up.
Also, convex shapes only.

The biggest problem is vertex manipulation; it should never be used on brushes.
