[SOLVED] Water problem with no compile errors

[EmNudge]

Y'know that water problem that you get when you have a leak? It opening into the skybox, and in some cases, the void, when looking at it from above? Yeah, that one.

For the last couple compiles I've been having that bug. I've eliminated almost every compile error (except for 2 which it has always had and always will), but the water still acts as if there is a leak in the map. Loading the pointfile asks me to find it - that thing you get when there is no leaks in your map.

As for the other kind of water problem, where a newbie might texture more than the top of his water, I don't have that. All the water in my map acts similarly. I didn't touch any water from the version where it worked, to the version where it's like this. I tried finding the problem between versions, but I got nothing.

If you're curious about the 2 other errors (the ones I've had from the beginning), one is about a findportalside bug (which affects nothing and isn't very fixable) and one about not being able to load the custom skybox to build default cubemaps (which again, doesn't affect anything).


Finally, my input of a possible problem:
I used compilepal, which seems just so amazing. It did result in a horrible version of the map, creating new folders and some random glitches. I'm sure it was all my fault somehow, but I just stopped using it and switched over to the default compiler. I'll probably make a thread about it soon.

Is your water the same height as the container it's in?

 

[EmNudge]

Is your water the same height as the container it's in?

it's a tad lower, but as I've said, this is by every water in the map. Not just the main one.

I didn't change anything about the water(s) from one version to the next, but I still got that.

I didn't touch this water either. This one flat out leaks into the void, as oppose to the skybox. Not exactly sure why, could be because there is only a thin brush bellow.

Anyway, all the water is like this and I have touched none of them.
I couldn't find any decent tutorial for compilepal, and when it ran into some stupid errors, that may have caused what I'm seeing.

Do you have expensive water on different heights?

 

[Vel0city]

What water material are you using?

 

[EmNudge]

Do you have expensive water on different heights?

Expensive water? yes. Different heights? no.
This water worked for most of the map's versions, so I don't see why it'd change now.

What water material are you using?

water/water_2fort - as long as it works for 2fort, I don't see why it would change for my map.


Here is what it looked like when working in an earlier version of the map:

 

[BigfootBeto]

Is it a brush entity or a world brush? If it is a brush entity I'm pretty sure it should be a func_water_analog

 

[EmNudge]

Is it a brush entity or a world brush? If it is a brush entity I'm pretty sure it should be a func_water_analog

they're all world brushes. The error wouldn't be in a mapping mistake. It worked fine from version to version.

Findportalside error IS a leak. Sometimes it just doesn't generate a pointfile because of a weird problem. I've seen it happen when glass is directly against a skybox texture, so check for that.

that's actually exactly what I have. no one's been able to tell me why it happened, so thanks!

but I don't see why it would be the reason since this error has existed for many versions and hasn't affected anything.

I'll do a quicker compile and see if that fixes anything.

EDIT: what do you know, didn't fix it. The error is still there (as usual) and the water is still broken.

Post while compile log with a pastabin link here. There isn't much reasons why water doesn't work. Either texture is wrong, there are several planes on different heights or due to a leak.

no reason to use pastebin, I can just put it here in a spoiler:

ODD THING I FOUND:
the .log file no longer updates with each compile. Had to do another compile (in quick everything) to get a new log.

You have an area portal leak. One or more area portals are not sealing their area.

I have no areaportals, only visclusters. Deleted them and the error still remains. Both of them

 

[Fruity Snacks]

I take this back.

You have super complex world-brushes, micro brushes, and probably an invalid brush or two. Basically, VVIS is looking at your geometry, tries to calculate vis, it comes up more tangled than an hairball, and the game has no idea what the hell it's supposed to be rendering, when.

How much of your map is func_detailed, and not? How long is your NOT fast-vis time taking to compile?

(and double check to make sure you don't have any area portal windows, by accident)

I've got a lot of stuff func_detailed, but I don't know enough about optimization to mess around with it without breaking the map. I'm saving that stuff for a later version.

The full render (with HDR) takes around 15 minutes, give or take. I never timed it exactly, but it's not insanely long. Again, that could be sped up with optimization, but I don't want to touch it too much. Any structure with a lot of small parts and steps is func_detailed. that's about all the optimization I have.

The place where it points me to, is a tad complicated, but it shouldn't be too crazy.

that's where hammer brings me. It has a displacement on top of a nodraw brush (which seals the map on bottom). to the right is a skybox brush. The viewport is currently inside a brush with a glass texture (I made sure it doesn't touch the skybox). to the left is 2 brush-entities. One sets a player in the cart and one is a hurt_trigger.

I don't really see a good way of solving this. Allow me to reiterate once more, though:

I have had this annoying error for the past few months. I haven't found a way to solve it and it seemingly has affect nothing. Everything worked properly while this specific error remained. I do not believe this is the problem.

Okay, so I ask about vvis because your compile log says that you're using FastVis, which may cause these issues. If you do normal vvis, it'll highlight if there is a problem. And yes, this can affect water.

Could you do a normal compile, and send the full log, see if that helps. Additionally, your water brushes, are they all at the same level in game? (That is, the water level is the same throughout the game.
