First time making a map, stuck at spawn

[Eureka]

Overall you're doing a great job for your first map.

However a few things to note:

I'd change some your MDL's and make sure you're using default only. If you're using custom ones and did not compile it properly, which I'm assuming you did being your first map.

Secondly, double and triple check your work.

I spent a good two hours looking for a fix for my spawning thing too, and I had one set to any. The best way (for me) to fix this in the future is to make one, select and hold shift and drag it to a new location, thus duplicating it. That way you no forsure it's all the same.

Good luck!

I had the error with some fancy geometry that I forgot to func_detail once. Remaking it and func_detailing fixed it eventually.

Today i tried compiling my map after some major changes, but when i tried to load the map, it crashed. Here is the compile log.

There is definitely a leak, but there is no point file.

Make sure there are no entities with their origin outside the map, also check around some of the coordinates specified by the compile log to see if you find anything weird there. (View > Go to coordinates)

Problem solved, i figured out that blue spawns are too crowded so t hats why blue spawns arent working.

For the leak, i double checked everything. It is caused by a Func_detail displacement, thanks for the help
