Ran this through Interlopers, only came up with the skybox error everyone gets. Help?

VBSP fails during "building physics collision data" uhh... hmm. Do you have any power4 displacements? Those are bad for physics collisions (though usually causes engine crash, not compile error). Perhaps some really badly shaped/warped displacements? Any excessively weird geometry or lots of physics props?

Hmm. Now that you mention it, I have a func_breakable and a ^4 ground. I'll try lowering the power and I'll get back to you.

VBPS still trips after I lowered the displacement to ^2.
Is TF2 incompatible with func_breakable?

Edit: I tried removing the func_breakable (only physics-related prop I have), and it still gives the error. Huh.
Edit: Fiixed it~ VBSP does not like displacements that are 0.1 units thick.

...How...did you end up with displacements that have thickness at all? They're supposed to only be one side of the brush, usually.

The engine still know the brush they were created from as it is used as a reference point for the positioning of the displacement verts. It is likely a case of the off-grid brush muddling up the math used for that.

My vbsp has stopped working as well. It was working last night then just stopped compiling changes. I've tried renaming the map and that gets me the "Failed to find map" error

I dont have any displacements in my map, and the func_breakable's I have in the map have not been changed. In fact it was some changes I made to some logic entities I was trying to test that is the only change I made.

It like vbsp has just gone "nope, I'm on holiday" and stopped
