the "memory leaks" are no problems. However, the other leaks ARE a problem. My guess is that you have accidentally placed a light_spot outside your map and it's causing the leak. When you get a leak, you look at the numbers that i have highlighted in color. Entity light_spot (112.00 -200.00 268.00) leaked!
the red is the X axis, the blue is the Y axis and the green is the Z axis, on a cartesian coordinates system. Find this coordinate on your map and that's where the ent u need to delete will be! [addsig]

in the world of 3d games, every little beam of light HAS to hit a surface. If there is a hole in your map SOME beams of light are not reflected and have to go on FORVER in the void. so instead of calculating an infinity of data for that light beam, VIS shuts down and runs your map in FULLBRIGHT mode.

yes, all has to be closed.

The best way to test your map in that stadium is to put a huge hollow block around it with the sky texture.

you've got to make a cube that contains your WHOLE MAP. it has to be WHOLLY covered in the "Sky" texture. then you must click the cube and go to tools and selecy "hollow" set your wall thickness to 16

this WILL work unless there are light ents outside the skybox.

i did a big box around the lvl dude....and then made it hollow to 32..(32 is the same as 16...or is there a difference???)

But still NOT ANY OF THE LIGHTS APPEAR !!!!

are you running VIS and RAD? and after you make the box are you getting compile errors?

[edit] if you send me a VMF i can most likely de-leak it for you.

okay the box fixed it. this is a different problem now.

Make sure you are not running thie compile in "expert mode" just run it in normal and try doing the "fast" options and see if that helps

First off, I think its looking four lights.rad in the wrong place.

Second off, two of your props are wrong:

Static Props are architecture that doesn't move, isn't affected by psychics ecetera.

Dynamic Props (Prop_Psysics and Prop_Dynamic) are psysics affected, and if they're light enough, can be picked up by the grav gun.

Hammer is telling you to change those props from prop static to a prop psysics or prop dynamics

If have no idea how to fix the lights.rad problem. Have you tried the Refresh SDK content button?

EDIT: There is a tut on expert compiling. Look in the Editor section. You might want to look at the "Compile errors" one too

i dont like expert compiling (so complicated)...but i never did something about light.rad thing .... where u can see a tut how to do it...i dunno wat is it about LOL...but the static thing isnt important...cuzz i fixed it...the problem is none of the lights i add are appearing...(light, light_spot, light_enviroment, light_dynamic)

Whats the problem? Fix the leak first, and the advanced mode isnt complicated at all (ill explain how later if you care)

As for the lights your directories are screwed up probably, hit the reste things in the first window when you run the SDK to see if that fixes anything. Also just test to see if a regular LIGHT is working, or spot light, DONT try the env or dynamic yet, they require you to do some more things.

The answer is in the documentation that is with the SDK menu...you might want to read it.
