Map Description

This Is one of my finer maps This also is going to be my first public map aswell so i hope i live upto expectations.

This map was based on the idea of two trains running through the middle and the cts having to rescue the hostages while avoiding oncoming trains. This map started out as utter crap but now it has grown. Im shooting for good detail and good gameplay.

While making this map i abandoned it once but then decided to continue. The updates i have done make it a much better map imo

well I give up with leakmarker the program just doesnt seem to do anything

As for quark and hammer

I personnaly prefer quark becuase it is much simpler and easier to
learn and still has the power of hammer. Not to mention it supports 20
games which is always an upside.

Entity report(or the thing there is in quark that with it you can center view on entities)->center view on the brush entity you created with leakmarker

You know I envy you. I tried to use it and didn't make it. Is it better then worldcraft 2.1?

Erh Im using quark (wait wait I want absolotely no bad comments about
quark this is my fault not the programs)and quark doesnt support rmfs i
wonder

I have searched the map file is exactly the same and theres no blocks or anything

Leakmarker marks the leak in the .map file not .rmf. Did you search for the block in the .map file?

Anyways went in spent about 20 mintues looking for mister leak but to
no avail tryed the leak finder program and nothing every showed up.

I know thats it in the main big area but thats all when i move away
from the entrance it leaks when i enclose the entrance it leaks.

I did though find a few leaks and fixed them but i still havent gotten it to compile correctly

Once again anyone willing to help me find the leak feel free to email or pm me

There is a nice program called leakmarker. It creates a block in the .map file over the place with the leak.(well...the place the compiling tool says it's there, I once had a problem with that, but the leak was still near the place with the block)

Pointfile always works, as long as it doesn't say "blah,blah particles short"

Anyway, a sure fire method is "Blocking"

Put a block over 50% of the map. Doesn't matter which, just make sure its methodical. Then 50% of the side you are sure the leak is inside. Then 50% of that and so on. Eventually you will be left with an area the leak is inside of.

Assuming you have but one leak the next step is to put a block over the entire area you are sure does NOT have the leak and compile. Make sure you have a player start inside and then use pointfile again. The area will by then be small enough to hopefully locate the leak.

Leaks are preventable. I have only created one accidentally in all the dozens of maps/areas/prefabs I have ever made. Slow down and pay attention to your project and you will be fine.

Now, go find that leak.

Is the train closed and has many cars? Like a subway train. If so you don't have to make it move, it's already a nice spot to fight in!

yeah back on topic im relighting both those areas they are indeed way to dark

AS for weather the train will be moving or not im still trying to
figure out what todo. What im thinking is having the train move back
and forth slowly or just sit and not move or do what i wanted have the
train running. But ofcourse i planned on playing this lan so lag isnt
an issue

As for the leak I am absoltely stumped. The point file is crazy it
moves all over the place to many lines to really tell where it goes.
Ive chechked the area where it was and even boxed it in but it still
leaks.

Anyone wanting to help me find this leak feel free to pm me and ill send you a version of the map.
