Entire Map black, please help

DisruptedHunter · Dec 7, 2013

So I've been making a map for the holidays...it's ALMOST done but now all of a sudden the entire map is black. Below is a screenie.

None of my things are above 60%...Most of my geometry that was complicated was turned into models. I tried hiding area portals, props AND anything I remember that used vertex's. In interlopers I get this error:

"Zero area child patch

Description:
A solid in your level has a face with no area. My guess is that vrad.exe is trying to create a lightmap for a face that doesn't exist. Maybe you have an invalid brush?

Solution:
First check Hammers problemchecker (alt+p). If that doesn't solve your problems, you can either ignore the error, or try to find it anyway using cordon tools. You would be looking for brushes which might be too complex. I wouldn't recommend the second option.

See also:
Reference: Finding the cause of unknown errors

Generally, this error may be ignored"

I never used to have it and I already checked for leaks(no leaks) I checked for invalid structures(no problems found in alt P) I EVEN zoomed around looking myself. Can someone PLEASE help? I'd like this map finished and uploaded before the holidays..I'm willing to give some metal/stranges/hats to anyone kind enough to help me asap.

I ALSO get this spammed

I don't remember it being there at all and am wondering if it has something to do with my map being black.
Here's what my compile log has:

Here's the vmf and bsp. (Note: A lot of models and textures will be missing for you because I use almost everything custom.)

Try a not fast compile? Otherwise it might be a prop. Once this happened to me with a rail prop that was slightly in the ground, making the lighting all messed up

I already turned off props and it was still happening.
I have to do a fast compile(I always have for all my maps) because my computer never can do full. It just ends up crashing. I'm pretty sure it's not a prop, because I already turned those off..I turned almost everything off in my map and it still appeared. I've had this happen before because my ent data was too high but my stuff is low.

I went to a save file that worked and was trying to go from there. Added a few props, deleted some door's made of geometry and then my map went black again with same issues. I mean that sounds like it'd be a prop, but if it was my map would have worked when props were off, and it didn't.

Try normal compile? Also, did you make the custom models/textures?

I really don't think a normal compile will work. I will try it later because usually anything outside of fast does not work.

Yes I made the models my self(and textures). But this error doesn't have anything to do with models right? At least not from what interlopers told me.
The face error thing happened when it went black..
and this came up as soon as it started going black:
GatherLight: 0...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10 (0)
Bounce #1 added RGB(1, 1, 1)
GatherLight: 0...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10 (0)
Bounce #2 added RGB(1, 1, 1)
GatherLight: 0...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10 (0)
Bounce #3 added RGB(1, 1, 1)
GatherLight: 0...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10 (0)
(etc it just repeats itself)
I'm pretty sure this is something to do with it since it's lighting that's messed up.. my lights in game sorta show but like everything is black like I said(except models outside?) Also the map was fine until just recently when I was trying to fix lag with area portals, I finally got the portals working and bam map is black. (I even tried removing them and it still didn't work.)

DId you make the textures vmt correct? You might have used "vertexlightgeneric" (or whatever it is) instead of "lightmappedgeneric"

Nope all my textures are lightmapp, never have had issues with textures.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Gl finding the solution

I've had this issue before with the map origin (0,0,0) being inside a brush, it also may happen with skybox brushes intersecting water brushes.

If moving your entire map so that the origin is in the open doesn't work, try just copying everything into a new VMF. This resets the brush ID's to start at 0 again and can sometimes fix issues.

THANK YOU MUCH. Some how my origin was messed up.No Idea tho, I never even moved anything enough for it to lose center. I donno but moving my map down a bit fixed it.

I have a question tho, whenever I move things the texture goes unfitted. Is there a way to fix this because it never used to do this.

There is a toolbar button to toggle texture moving.

Thanks man. My cats must have unlocked it when they stomp around on the keyboard.

Not sure if texture locking shows the hotkey, but if it doesn't, it's Shift+L
