........uhhh..im realy confused about this one..ive read it and i
fOrGeT what a leak
is.....................................................................................................

SIGH!!

Well your big problem here is that you are running the compile tools in the wrong order. The first tool you should be using is BSP, not VIS, which is why it reports an error. Run the tools in this order - BSP, VIS, RAD - and you should get things working better. If not, post again and I'll look into it in greater detail.

As for the leak problem, well here's a brief run through. When you are building levels for the Source engine you have to ensure that they are sealed. This means that there should be no opening from the inside of your level out to the "void" - the areas outside your level. The outside shell of your level - the brushes that act as the barrier between the inside of the map and the void outside - is known as the hull, and that hull must be made up of world brushes (ie. not brushes that you have turned into entities, like func_detail or func_wall). Leaks are also sometimes caused by placing entities (such as NPCs, lights, etc...) outside the hull of the level, so ensure you keep everything inside.

There are several ways you can find leaks, all of which have been well documented here and elsewhere. Search the forums, tutorials, or other sites and you'll get a better explanation that I can give here.

sorry that didnt help :sad:

It's probably just a path error if you are still getting the problem with the tools not finding the file specified. Make sure that you are saving the .vmf file (ie. the map) into the "c:\steam\steamapps\pooty509\sourcesdk_content\hl2\mapsrc\..." directory before you compile.

If thats not the problem, then can you post the compile log again now that the tools are running the right order please? It might give us more clues.

Change it anyway and re-post the new compile log. Maybe you have more errors that only show up now.

Of all the things I wish I could change it would be that damnable red answer wrong option.

Most times when all is said and done, the answer was indeed in the red.

One thing I want to know is, whats this "Contents_Solid"???

I don't recall ever seeing it in a compile log before.

I also, have no faith in someones ability to solve a problem who sighs in as "please help me" :rolleyes:

Its even in lower case. No "Please help me" even.

Contents solid usually comes up when you have a leak...

I must have slept in class. I don't doubt you, I just seem to not recall. But, how can you have a leak, when the map is compiled in the wrong sequence? For that matter, why didn't the compile halt?

Used to, if there was a major error, the compile halted. I would consider compiling out of order, something major.

"numvertexes == MAX_MAP_VERTS" kills the vbsp proccess, which is why "The system cannot find the file specified." (there is no bsp created)

is this a big map with lots of carved bits?

Its because BSP, VIS and RAD are entirely separate programs. Aside from being passed the name of the file they need to work on (and various config options), they don't interact with Hammer or each other in any way. As such they have no concept of the order they are run.

VIS errored because it couldnt find the bsp (because BSP hadnt yet made one)
BSP ran as usual but found leaks and died
RAD errored because it couldn't find the bsp (BSPs fault)

What I'm curious about is what program he was using (Hammer or another batch compiler) and how he managed to get it to run them out of order :smile:

Like PackRat said, VIS could have run a BSP from the last compile.
