When there are water problem for tf2 hammer this will be the area to get answers.

My problem:
I got rid of all the leaks in my map but the water keeps looking like the void or the outside world without any walls

Check this resource and make sure everything is correct; also check and make sure you're doing a full compile, as quick or no vis (and maybe bsp as well?) will cause water to break. If that still doesn't work, try checking your compile log here

ok so I got the water to not look like the "void" but now if I were going to go into the game the water would look like it is invisible until I would jump in under the water

So I check the log and it said that I didn't have vrad and vvis files, docs, or codes not included. What should I do?

Post your compile log here, that's an error I've never heard of.

Here is the compile log. Also to add in game if I were to look at the water on the surface, it would look invisible but Then if I were going under the water it would be prefectly fine.

No wonder the water isn't appearing, VVIS isn't running due to a file error. Luckily, you're far from the first person to have this problem (this problem appeared for many users after Jungle Inferno), and we've already figured out the solution. Check out these two posts. Installing that C++ thing should fix your problem. (The error under VRAD is the exact same problem, installing the C++ runtime thing will fix VRAD as well.)

I have a new problem, the water works now. But a room that I have inside, the walls are black and not the texture I have put on.

Check your compile log for errors and the alt-p problem checker in Hammer. Additionally, try using mat_fullbright 1 in-game. Does the texture appear then?

Even with mat_fullbright 1? Interesting. What's the room look like in Hammer?

Sounds like a texture error; try using the texture application tool, selecting a working face with the same texture, and then alt + right-clicking on the broken faces

in hammer it looks fine and how do you do Fullbright ( I am very sorry I didn't ask earlier). And Narpas so your saying retexture the and then do alt+ rigth click

Yeah, if it's a texture glitch, that could fix the problem, but might not. If it doesn't, you can always try remaking the brushes

Try mat_fullbright 2 instead. That shows only the lightmaps. If those are wonky, then it's not the fault of the material.

Open the console and type in "mat_fullbright 1". This will apply a constant bright lighting to everything, regardless of how it's actually supposed to be lit. If your bug is a lighting problem, you should be able to see the correct textures on the walls this way. Otherwise, it's a different problem.

To turn off fullbright, use the console command "mat_fullbright 0".
