You can't just delete stuff to make the leak go away, you've got a hole in your map, imagine your map is a submarine, the leak means the voide outside is flooding in.
You have to load the point file (map>load pointfile) then find where the red line is 'escaping' the map and plug it with a regular brush.

Also, infuture whenever you have an error check this - http://www.interlopers.net/index.php?page=errors

i did run it through interlopers
and it told me there was a leak
but the pointfile thing
the red line goes directly througha brush
i tried recreating the brush
didn't work
and when i delete what entity it says is causing the leak
teh red line thing moves to a new brush that is near the new entity

The brushes aren't normal world brushes then, I assume
displacements do not block vis, and don't seal your map
brush entities also don't block vis so the red line will happily pass though them too.

Then why did I bring ducttape?


Also use +showbudget while you walk, if any of the bars get really high, post which one it is, and i'll try to figure out what's crashing ya.

the brushes it passes through are all normal world brushes and when i double click them it says solid with six faces
so i don't think thats the problem

The entity isn't causing the leak, it's the first entity/closest entity to the leak that was detected as being "outside the world" Deleting it will only cause a defferent entity to "leak" first.

Your floor is not a displacement? Then the only thing i can think of is that your brushes are misaligned; they are either not aligned/snapped to the grid or you created a brush after placing an entity and didn't realign all the faces to the grid. As hammer creates a brush to the dimension of the last object selected along the axes of the 2d view you are not manipulating the brush in (which can create annoying errors if the last object was an entity, as an entities dimensions are not always, if rarely, to the same scale as your grid). But maybe this isn't the case as it looks like you've used the hollow tool.

In the top view, what are those diagonal lines? They look conspicuous.

EDIT: Here is your problem.

When constructing your world you should treat the walls like a shell. In the following image, i know there is a big hole in the roof, it was intended as a demonstration for creating holes but i'm using it to show you how the walls should connect. Look in the 2d veiws, the walls meet/join each other at the egdes. Create your walls and floors like this. An 'advanced' technique is to use diagonal corners for inside the world to cut down on exposed faces, but you'll get to that when you learn the vertex manipulation tool. Look at the corners, especially in the bottom two screens.

Where's the red line in those three other views? You aren't looking at the right thing. (Unless, for some reason, you spliced that screenshot with a few others...)

Does anyone know the implications of using a transparent/glass texture on the outside of your world? This guy also has the glass texture on the outside on the floor and sides of his floor brushes, i'm not sure whether that changes anything, but it's only where this leak is. If not then it must be what i said before. Otherwise. I'm not sure, all his brushes seem connected other than the fact that they need to wrap around the world fully.
 

Géza!

Or put a nice eyecandy room behind those glass textured faces. Anyway, close the void out of your map.

ok so if i were to make all my walls look like the ones in the screen you posted it should work?
and i should retexure the glass to something else
i can do that
but
in the meantime just to see if there were any other errors, i enclosed the entire thing in a big box which i know is a big no-no, but the leak went away as expected but when i run the map, i crash when i walk out the spawn area
here is the updated vmf
one last lookover would be greatly appreciated
andi tried the showbudget thing
and it froze along with my game

You could put a skybox rectangle enclosing the outside of the glass...

my problem is no longer the leak
it is the seemingly random crash
i just am walking and in the same spot i just crash

I already told you what to do. We can't tell you what crashes (If it's performance related) if you don't give us a picture of the +showbudget around the crash area.


And I'm too lazy to download/compile it and test it myself.

Cap point areas pointing to non existant capture points crashes the map, thats one thing that is extra apparrent whilst compiling payload maps with the cordon tool, check all the cap point areas are pointing to the right locations
