 Re: LoadPortal, Leaks = ???
Posted by Q2k on Tue Jan 23rd at 5:20pm 2007


Hi im new to hammer, I did search but nothing i did find was helpful..
Anyway.. this log is just part of it, coz i recompiled like 20times already, i just "end process" the compiling.

The problem:
I want to compile with vvis.exe, But then this leak keeps popping up.
So i remove, i fix, move it, delete the dam thing
But every time i recompile, even under a different name. The leak appears. but then its a different thing thats leaked. like window, then the next time its a furniture. its always a different thing getting leaked.. And i read that the can't read for that loadportal is coz of leaks. but how can i fix this when it just desides to make another thing leak.

this was a previous ----

A leak doesn't really have anything to do with the entity that's being leaked, it's an area in the shell of your map that isn't sealed against the void. Anywhere you have an entity has to be completely enclosed with brushes, or you've got a leak and vvis won't run properly.

To find the leak, click 'Map >> Load Pointfile' and look for the red squiggly line, this points from the entity that was leaked to where the leak is. Once you find it, use a brush to close it up.

For a more extensive explanation, see: Valve Wiki - Leak.

It explains why deleting the indicated entity won't solve the problem, because in 95% of the cases, it isn't the source of the problem, but simply an indication of it.
