Leaf portals

Hey guys, I keep getting the following messege:

Warning: Leaf portals saw into leaf
Problem at portal between leaves 279 and 280:
(-586.000 1313.000 -455.000)
(-596.000 1313.000 -455.000)
(-596.000 1313.000 -455.000)
(-591.000 1318.000 -458.500)

I get 4 to 11 instances of that same error messege in each compile, and I cannot figure out how to remedy it. To save time, I have already:

1. Visited Tommy's list of Errors and solutions

2. Visited the forums on this site, TWHL, and VERC Collective

3. I have ran my map checker (I have no errors)

4. I have ran -full vis and fast and normal, I still get the error

5. Tried taking chunks out of my map untill I had nearly next to nothing left in my map!

I was wondering if one of you guys could possibly poke around at my map to see where the problem lies! Any helps would be greatly appreciated! Here is a link to my map!

From the compile errors page:

?Go to the co-ordinates given and alter the geometry there
?Try turning some solids in that area into func_wall entities

Looks then like you just have one bad brush at (-590,1313,-455)...

(i.e. go to those Z-Y-Z co-ordinates in WC/Hammer and fix the problem- Lep.)

<!-- ZoneLabs Popup Blocking Insertion -->I went on your website to have a look at the pics, could i ask what the r_speeds are in the first pic.

This isnt really an error. In fact, the map will run normaly. What this message means though, is (A) Poor mapping on your part (no offence); and (B) longer compile times.

Besically this is whats happening:

2 brushes are overlapping each other. A great way to find them is to run around your map in VHE using the flat 3D view.

laughs at wildcard..

two brushes aren't overlapping, they are sharing the same plane..

what you most likely did, was clipped of two solids and neither finished on a grid-line, so hammer had to assign them the same coordinates..

look around, most times it will be obvious.. like a hall of mirrors, but on a few occasions i have seen outright holes, such as stair-steps that appear solid, but act like func_illusions.. you can pass thru them..

consentrate your search in areas you have oddly shaped architecture that you clipped..

my advice, learn to compile more often, it narrows down the search areas..

good luck

[edit] for the record, this question has been asked before, did you not search it out?? you are fortunate we are in a good mood today, most times we flay members alive who bypass the search option :biggrin:

i compile quite often.

/me wonders why people are saying "so what, we dont care about you $loth.
/me shouts ow as rock hits my head.

/me fails to ignore the innuendo of the above

/me confused :biggrin:

$loth~ 1. What r_speeds in what pics?

2. I do compile often, and I did not have this problem until I compiled once. I have went back 10 saves, and still have the problem, yet on the compiles for all of those other saves, this problem didnt occur! Oddity...

Wildcard~ 1. Yes this is an error, my map WILL NOT run in WOM HL or Steam HL.

2. Yes, I am a noob mapper :rolleyes:

Orpheus~ 1. Thanks for your input, it helped :smile:

2. Like I said in my original forum post, I DID search this topic out, I already looked at the error page you guys have AND I found topics in the forums here...AND in other forums and on other sites, I heavily researched and tested before I posted. :smile:

The co-ordinates given by the compilers suggest it's a problem with your toilet:



So delete it and see if you get the problem still.

Leperous~ Thank you VERY much, my leaf errors went from 7 errors to 6....(according to fastvis). I REALLY need to know how you tracked down that brush. I know you used the coordinates given, but which coordinates? for each error, it spits out at least three sets of coordinates...which do I have to follow? all of them?

Seriously thank you for your help

It gives sets of X,Y,Z co-ordinates, where X-Y is the horizontal plane and Z is the vertical. Basically you go to just one of the sets given in Hammer (it should be a pretty small area anyway so just one will suffice), they're displayed at the bottom of the screen when you move your mouse around in the 2D windows :smile: So first of all look at your top-down 2D screen and find the first two co-ordinates, then find the Z one by looking in a side-on window. Practice this with your toilet to see if you can get it right...

Also, FULL VIS can sometimes eliminate these kinds of errors. Sometimes it's just FAST VIS cutting corners per-se.

One of the more bizarre editing problems

Woo more marks for me mwahaha my life is validated by snarkmarks

Lep, you need to correct your edit from Z-Y-Z to X-Y-Z :smile:

lucky butt.. mine was right too

alrighty! I had to go to the X Y Z coordinates and change the brush(es) that were there into func_wall's...I am in happy land now



thanks, dudes (and dudettes)

I think you have enough.
