When I compile my map I get the error 'No vis information, direct lighting only.' but I have no leaks, lots of lights, I run VIS on normal.
My map worked fine until I reated the whole island it was on with a displaced surface surrounded by water... could be the problem, I don't know
lemme see now, if i recall it clearly states to post the compile log in the "New Topic" search area.. hmmm unless its all in black text i don't see it 
there are only a few reasons vis fails (or used to be) but the key to solving it is the compile log.. help us, to help you. not reading instructions does not encourage anyone to help very often :/
[addsig]
I didn't post the compile log coz tbh... I am usually good at fixing problems and I couldn't see anything wrong with the compile log except that.
My brother compiled the map first for me:

assuming again i am wrong.. i read the word "leaked" at least twice before the words:
compiles go in order, if lights failed the error is before rad.
assuming, i am wrong.

You might also notice that VIS ISN'T being run as a result...
Sorry... my bad, i'm very tired.
Can't believe I missed it.
Also no need to rub it in. 
the only reason i didn't make it yellow is, i was told twice now that leaks in HL2 sometimes are not an issue.
i was not rubbing it in.
[addsig]i was not rubbing it in.
see, i missed this part of class i guess, cause no where have i read this mentioned before.
thanx ol man
