My map is full of leaks because areaportals but I already sealed the map

[Seitan]

I tried placing areaportals on my map for the first time, compiled the map and then received a lot of leak
warnings, I already sealed the map completely but I'm still receiving leak warnings on my compile log


Here's my compile log:

The map itself can be sealed, but different areas of it may not be. If you place areaportals, make sure areaportals is the only brush/brushes that fit the hole between two map areas. Its pretty hard to tell without the vmf if there is anything wrong with your map. You may try to load portalfile to check out if your map has any func_details or other brush entities that do not seal map areas.

 

[Seitan]

About the portalfile, I can't find any on my maps folder, there's vmx, vmf, lin, but I can't find any portalfile, how I can create one?

 

[200]

It only appears after a compile. You can run a quick compile from hammer and then load it from "Map => Load Portalfile" and clicking "Yes".

 

[Crowbar]

Areaportals must subdivide map into so-called areas, which must be fully isolated. An areaportal must not touch the same area twice.

In the picture above, the black is world brushes and the blue is the portal - and you can see how the portal touches the same area twice, it's visualized by the red line.
An areaportal must touch two areas, each once!
So, you need to fix all the holes that the areas can leak (not to be confused with a leak to void) through. In this example the most logical solution is:

Pretty simple, but it's harder to detect and fix in practice. That's what you are to do.

 

[iiboharz]

It also won't show up if there's a leak, as leaks prevent visleaves from being correctly created. Give this a read.

 

[Crash]

You basically need to think of each side of your area portal as another "void" that you have to seal from. It's a bit of a pain if you haven't planned for it, but once you get it sorted out the benefits are pretty big.

 

[henke37]

Uhm, so are you all ignoring the clear evidence that it's a normal leak?

[vulduv]

first. go to the top where it says map. then hit. "load pointfile" and hit yes if it says "load default pointfile?"(im swedish. im not perfect in inglish!) then look for a big red line. once all the normal seals are fixed. follow this video if you still dont get how area portals behave. (at 3:51)

[vulduv]

also! any none visleaf cutting blocks (chiken wire, glass, anything with a transparent texture(exept nodraw)! or func_detail) will NOT make two places seperate. they will need ither nodraw(for func_detail with no transparent testures) or an area_portal(for anything with transparent testures.)
