I apologize if there is an easy answer for this out there, but I could not find anything that helps me with this problem with searches like "light leaking under brushes hammer editor". My problem is that when I compile, I notice many of indoor lights leak under walls for a few units. Note that there is no leak in my map, according to my compile log. This first started happening when I enabled -notjunc, but for this compile I disabled it and I'm still getting this problem (however it's much less prevalent here; with -notjunc, it was twice as bad). Also, there is a problem where a light is causing a bad shadow for one of my prop_statics; this didn't happen when I compiled the map with the cordon tool, but when I compiled the entire map it started happening. However, I suppose I could just disable shadows for that specific prop.

Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this? I have a suspicion that is due to my LDR leaf ambient being over the limit, but I will work on fixing that as I can do it with the increasing of lightmaps. In case my compile log is relevant, here it is:

fastvis does that
[QUOTE=Giraffen93;47796954]fastvis does that[/QUOTE]
Is it always fastvis, though? I have been using fastvis ever since this relatively large map had more than 4 buildings and I haven't experienced this problem until fairly recently.
Could try using the "Block Light" texture in the walls?

fast vis and fast vrad can do this. If the sidewalk is a func_detail, and the building is a regular brush, light can leak through the junction. You can either hide it with detail geometry, or reduce the lightmap scale of the problem faces.
