[h2]If someone in his map gets annoying leaks when compiled while all your entities do not have a reason to leak and Portal 2 crashes when loading your super map, it's because you don't have a structure seal box in it. Just make a box with a hollow (right click on box > Make hollow...) that covers all your map, then convert it to an entity (CTRL + T) and change the entity to func_brush and type this name for your cool box: structure_seal then it should not do leaks anymore[/h2]

Just remove -alldetail. Doing what you suggested is the noob way out of finding leaks. Its also a really bad mapping.

[QUOTE=robbiedobbie;29524610]really no one knows? EDIT: I have solved it (temporary) by placing a box around the empty spot where the leak was (there is no entity or whatever on that spot).[/QUOTE] One of the entities have its origin dragged out there probably I usualyl select everything and with rightclick menu I chose center origins. ofc dont do this if there are things that have off-center origind for some reason :) try to find which trigger or func_* thing (if u select them one by one) have its origin dot there I also made a quick youtube vid about making a small map in 15 minute: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0ZxTMC3-Ic[/url] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXqRMxOLdAo[/url] and I uploaded my map's source VMF here: [url]http://www.mobilkor.hu/gepy/por2_damagepy_maptestwhatever_source.zip[/url] (VMF) the map is this: [url]http://heroes.hardwired.hu/portal[/url]
Gah, moving wall panels are SO CONFUSING ): Also, is there a guide or help thing anywhere for getting Portal 1/Half Life 2 Textures to work? I need the Metalbar texture from Source SDK, so i copied it into the swarm/materials/metal folder and it doesn't show up.
