Hello, first time here, new to mapping.

So, I am making a jump map, but there seems to be leak I cannot figure out. I have many light entities, and none are outside in the void. I ran the map, and it seems to spawn me outside the map along with hunks of my map missing.

I ran Load Pointfile, but it just draws the red line from one of my light entities in the map right through a block and out into the void. I've tried interloper, but I found no leaks of any sort and I do not understand the "can't load skybox" one as there were no troubles with my skybox at all, and I have not altered them in any way. I also don't understand how to solve that problem.

Sorry if the solution is trivial, but I simply cannt figure this one out. Anything would be helpful, thank you very much.

Look at where the line is crossing the brush. Delete that brush, save your vmf, then ctrl+z it back into place, then save your vmf again, then compile. Hammer sometimes likes to show a brush being there even though it's not there in the code.

This does not work? When I delete the brush the line is crossing through, delete it, then save it, then undo it, and then save it again, it still has a line that goes through the brush.

Unload the pointfile and compile again. The line you're seeing is the old one which doesn't automatically disappear.

The skybox error you mention can be safely ignored.

As for the leak, sometimes the pointfile messes up and you'll just have to try and find the leak yourself.

Also, since you mention chunks of the map being missing, check if you haven't enabled Radius Culling by mistake, cos that shit fucks up everything. (It's the icon of a red circle with an R in it)

What kind of leaks should I be looking for? There are no leaks into the void or entity leaks.

The compile log says that a 'light' entity is leaking. Copy the co-ordinates the compiler is giving you (-2044.00 0.00 -3648.00), go to View -> Go to co-ordinates and paste the co-ordinates in. The leak should be somewhere around there (since the way the compiler detects leaks is through the entity closest to the leak).

This just sends me back to my original problem, the light entity that is supposedly leaking straight through a brush.

Is this brush a world brush? Anything else - including func_details, displacements, and any brush entity - does not seal a map, and leaks will go through them.

If the brush is meant to be one of the above non-sealing things, you'll need to add some world brush(es) behind it to patch up the hole. Otherwise, you can select it and use Ctrl+Shift+W to move it back to world.

I actually solved the issue by copying the whole thing and putting it in a new map. I really have no idea what happened, and it was a world brush. Thanks for the help though.

That's Source for you. It does its own thing when it wants to.
