Help compiling - Developers

Everytime I attempt to compile with vis on the light_environment does not work. Is vis needed in a final compile? Tell me what to check in a final compile. This is my first map.

Not VVIS's fault, you're just a bad mapper. Just kidding, post your compile log here.

If you're quite new to mapping, use the normal compile menu, not the expert one. Set everything to normal, and if it gets stuck at portalflow (common to new mapper stuff) set VIS to fast. If it still happens check for leaks. I think the mapping questions megathread would be better for issues like these. EDIT: and as Mozartkugeln said, post your compile log

Looks to me like you have invalid brushwork in your map. Check the coordinates above the "make_triangles" error for invalid brushes: [QUOTE]1.049162 -3.207047 0.000000 -1.049033 -3.207047 0.000000 -1.049033 3.206336 0.000000 1.015345 -3.207047 0.000000[/QUOTE] [editline]2nd March 2014[/editline] In the future, use this page to scan your compile log for errors yourself: [url]http://www.interlopers.net/errors/[/url]
