Issues with a leak or something...

[Kagatos]

Heya all,

I'm having some issues with hammer recently.
1- Things don't save right. example: Move a wall, save, run (and its moved), close hammer, next day wall is back where it was on load. This happens with items that have undergone vertex manipulation as well.
2- Some things don't delete. Like the save issue, I've deleted stuff, saved, done other things and next time I load up the map sometimes the deleted stuff is back, sometimes not.

These are annoying to say the least....but my main issue currently (Which I hope is causing the above issues) Is I get a leak warning on compile but the model thats leaking is random, the most recent being a respawnroom visualizer. Along with a bunch of:

FindPortalSide: Couldn't find a good match for which brush to assign to a portal near (3072.0 2224.0 72.0)
Leaf 0 contents: CONTENTS_SOLID
Leaf 1 contents:
viscontents (node 0 contents ^ node 1 contents): CONTENTS_SOLID
This means that none of the brushes in leaf 0 or 1 that touches the portal has CONTENTS_SOLID
Check for a huge brush enclosing the coordinates above that has contents CONTENTS_SOLID
Candidate brush IDs:

Which I'm guessing is the cause, but I have no idea on how to fix...any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

-Kagatos

Other than your map leaking, you also have several invalid solids. Invalid solids are brushes that aren't convex, and they'll revert to their previous shape on next load. As to why deleted things are coming back I'm unsure.

Edit:

Mark my words - this isn't caused by a leak. Your PortalSide errors are, however.

 

[Kagatos]

Okay, I figured it was the portalside stuff...but everytime I grab the cords and put em in it takes me into the void with nothing around... I have no idea on what to do....even going to Interlopers it gives vague:

from Interlopers:

Usually, this error is caused by a leak, so fix it if it is.
If it isn't, there is a (group of) brush(es) that is/are giving vbsp.exe a hard time to figure out your level.
Apparently it cannot determine the boundaries of a certain portal. Maybe there is a large brush covering the area, maybe the area is just to complicated for poor vbsp to figure out.

I don't know the details but usually turning entities to world brushes or vice-versa helps to fight the problem. Hell, just cutting a brush in two once helped me fight this problem.

Solution:
Find the given coordinates (or if a brush number is given search for the brush number) and see what you can do to to simplify the area (like turning brushes to func_detail). You should also check to see if the brushes are overlapping at any point.

But since going to the area leaves me in the void with nothing around for good distance what am I supposed to do? I haven't found any good info yet on what to do about this...but maybe I'm not looking under the right heading so what should I be searching for info wise?

 

[Kagatos]

[Update)

Okay, I did the ugly Giant box O Doom around the whole level and it sealed...no errors on compile(well besides the skybox one).

So that means that it is a leak somewhere....so how the hell would I find it?

 

[lana]

I said you had a leak. Map > Load Pointfile. Follow the red line, don't let it escape.

 

[Kagatos]

Mark my words - this isn't caused by a leak. Your PortalSide errors are, however.

Sorry, tired...I just saw this and thought it wasn't a leak for some reason.

Thanks for the help, I'll start looking tomorrow...

follow the red line, follow the red line....

 

[PL-7764]

As a heads-up, the red line will start from the leaking entity, which may be hard to find manually. To go straight to it, use the View drop-down menu and select Go to coordinates, and enter the coordinates given in the compile log for the leaking entity. From your posted log, that would be 575.00 -512.00 47.00.

 

[lana]

It's pretty easy to find manually IMO

 

[PL-7764]

I guess when it's a func_respawnroomvisualizer that's leaking it's pretty easy (didn't thoroughly read that part of the log before). I'm used to it being something like a prop_static or a light, or something else that numbers in the tens of trillions on any given map, which DOES make it tough to find.

 

[Kagatos]

Found the Issues.

When I did the Pointfile it just started and ended in the void without going through any brushes. So after a bit, I found out that the origins on all the spawnroom doors, triggers, and visualizers had become way off. Once I centered them back to where they were supposed to be...no more leak.

So my question is how did that happen? I haven't touched them since I first put the level together, and was it because of the origins getting messed up that broke all my Areaportals? Because when this all started I got the error that they no longer touched two areas.

Cheers,

 

[lana]

Could be that in trying to drag them you dragged their origins, but yes that would have broken your APs
