Post your compile log.

Oddly enough I encountered the same problem today. Where might I find the compile logs?

#4 · May 3, 2011, 2:49 pm

The text that zooms by in the little window with the black background.
If you didnt already before you compile, you tick "Wait for keypress when done compiling", then once its done, check for problems :wink:

You can copy it from there, but its prolly better to copy it from your <mapname>.log wich is located at the position of your <mapname>.vmf

Paste it here in a code tag

Actually I would just try and copy/paste directly from the compile output. The log file has the compile log from EVERY compile you have done with that filename, so it's going to be a little cluttered if you paste the entire contents of that log file.

You have a leak. Fix the leak and the map will compile. You should be able to load a pointfile in Hammer to show you where the leak is at.

(map -> load pointfile)
then look for a red line running trough your map (visible in all views) that line goes trough the gap thats the 'leak' (and usually starts at a nearby entity)

I encountered this problem last night, fixing all leaks solved it for me too.

When I die I want to be dissected by some mad genius and used in one of his evil schemes. It's great to be part of something bigger than yourself.

Fixing all leaks solves most problems. Hammer 101.
