How do i fix this?

"Warning: No entities exist in hull XX, no filling performed for this hull"
There are no entities in a certain, closed off part of your map, so the player will not be able to reach it (without noclipping). As a result, the compilers don't bother creating this part of your map.

Thats what it says in the tut about compiling errors, but how do i fix it?

Check the editing help.  Its there I believe..

without actually seeing it, it seems the explanation is pretty straight forward.. make sure there are no portions of your map inaccessable..

i can honestly say, i have never seen this error, and cannot imagine how one would create it artificially.. but nothing in HL editing surprises me anymore..

thanks orph, i appreciate it

thank me when you confirm your error.. i am curious as well to know :smile:

update us on anything you do that fixes this :smile:

Interesting, I have a few areas like that, but have never encountered this error. (I make two boxes on the sides of the map with an ambient_generic to make stereo background noise/victory songs)

If your rooms go around in a circle or otherwise come up close to each other, it's possible that you created another room in the void area with the brushes by accident. In that case, it's not really as much an error message as just a notice, you don't want/need that section of the map. See if anything's missing, and if not you'll probably be fine.

I think it only really crops up on earlier versions of Zoner's (and probably the original tools), but it's not a problem at all and can be safely ignored :smile:

I had one of those where unintentionally made a little room under my stairs.

The reason you didn't get the error Gorbachev is because you had entities in the boxes. The chances are the error is because you have random boxes/areas outside the actual map with nothing in them, but I'm not sure how.

Just to make it clear:

• This "error" occurs because there is a section of your map (i.e. hull), with no entities, that is completely cut off from any other part of the map.
• The compile tools discard this area because it is completely useless (unless you noclip).
• It does not need to be fixed; it is completely harmless
• It still occurs in the latest builds of Zoner's/Merl's/Cagey's tools
