Leak From Beyond Boundaries

I have a leak in my map, I load the pointfile and it places the line in the middle of the voide and shoots strait off into the outside of the grid (The outer edge of the void that nothing can pass). The compile log gives the coordinates but the coordinates are outside grid if im not mistaken.

Heres the log

Entity func_brush (-2048.00 1604660.00 -1536.00) leaked!

see the middle coordinate? 1604660.

Also, when i loaded the map and found out this problem occured, it had said at the beginning of loading the map "57 invalid structures were deleted because something was corrupt" or something along the lines of that. Hammer has acted a little strange lately... Virus?

Any suggestions? ill scan my computer in the mean time.

Open your .VMF and Check for Problems (Alt+P). Make sure there are no
invalid solids before compiling, or else something like this will
inevitably go wrong. When it removes those invalid solids, make sure
you seal up any resulting leaks. I'm guessing that func_brush was tied
to an invalid solid, causing it to stretch out to infinity (or pretty
far anyway) and create a leak.

as cj says. i encountered invisible brushes stretching into coordinates out of the grid back in HL1 when carving in non-standard brushes. did you do something like this? only carve in simple geometries (i learned it the hard way:p ). it didnt cause leaks for me if i remember right, but maybe it does for you. could be a lot of other reasons too though, i'm just guessing from the one time in had brushes out of the grid.

if what cj says doesnt work, you can always try to select everything from you map and copy paste it into a blank hammer file. do not select "select eveything" though, but encircle your map e.g. in the top view and press enter.

These words are my diaries screaming out loud

If you've got entities outside the grid, you can delete it through Map > Entity Report. Just scroll through until you find an entity that doesn't light up on your map.

Awsome Thanks, I found a leak that the pointfile didn't show me, it was something i saved over after i fixed, then loaded the old version of my map, and confused everything to heck after compiling the old map over the new.

But before it let me find that leak I used the Map > entity report and found three func_brushes that were not on the map. Its odd though. I think this is the second time hammer has managed to corrupt my vmf's after i've left them untouched. I never had a problem originally. The 57 "Invalid solids" were all parts of my existing func_brushes (lots of convex brushes tied together and were contacting one another.) And The "Check for problems" tool found those and deleted them.

oh and I dont have a virus :biggrin:
