3d skybox problem

i placed my 3d skybox under the main map and i can see some of my map chunks



how did this happen and how can i get rid of it?

1)Do you have a leak in your map? If you do fix it and it will most likely go away.

2)Try changing the resolution, see if it goes away then.

i didnt see any leak sign when i compile. and i sealed it shut.

tried changing resolution, still there.

any other suggestions? btw thx anyway dude.

ARE you sure you didnt see ****leaked**** in the compile log, because this is common Leak induced error.

If thats not the case what graphics card are you running? Because I
remember that HL1's sky had problems with certain graphics cards. A
update fixed this though.

holy s**t your right. my bad.

**** leaked ****
Entity light_spot (-288.00 1488.00 236.00) leaked!

didnt see cus it was too fast. sorry. yous can delete this thread now.

thx omegaslayer

Check out my new TUT on leaks, The new Hammer helps find them :biggrin:

damn i sealed my map, now its taking forever to compile. it takes time doing the portal flow thingy. is this normal?

You coude try moveing your sky box above your map or to the side.

Plus dont have it share a wall with your map its best not to.

Do you mean vis? yes vis should take a long time if you have a
complicated map. Maybe you have another leak, try just running bsp, and
see if there is a leak still hanging around.

the main slowdown in vis is the optimization stage (portal flow).
But you only need that for a final build, otherwise you can add -fast
as a parameter to vis to speed things up greatly.

oh so i can turn off vis when i compile a test map? and turn it back on if i have the final map.

By "sealing" your map, you don't, by any chance, mean that you made a box surround all or parts of it, right?

yes i didnt put a box surronding the whole map. but i fixed it thanks to omegaslayers' tutorial. wow sounds like a commercial. well anyway it was a leak, a microscopic leak.
