(Solved) Partial Missing Texture on World Brush

Metric · Jan 6, 2017

I have no idea what to call it, but it's certainly not the purple missing texture problem.

Here's how it looks in-game:

Here's the brush in Hammer with portals shown:

This has been occurring for a while now (after multiple compiles and playtesting).
How do I fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

This means you either have a leak, or the brush which is causing this is invalid in some way. Did you try to delete the brush and remake it from scratch?

Asd417 · Jan 6, 2017

try splitting that big brush into multiple hexahedrons.

While this error typically accompanies a leak, it doesn't have to, and in this case it does not. All it really means is that something is somehow too complex for VBSP to figure out, so it has given up. Try using func_details and hint brushes to simplify your visleafs.

Metric · Jan 6, 2017

Ok, cool. I'll give it another try...

Edit: LOL. I forgot that the brush had multiple edges to make a cylinder, so I made the whole brush a func_detail and patched it up. The hole on the ground and the error in the compile log are gone now.

The compile log.
