Looks like last night you sleepwalked, sat on your computer, decompiled all the models from the game and played at being Edward Scissorhands with them!!!

First try: verify the integrity of your game cache files

I did, several times. Nothing changed.

This is the map i was working on. Multiplayer and single. I cannot get it to compile anymore either. I couldnt find the leaks or figure out the rest of the issues

Try updating your graphic drivers / check how hot your CPU is running at.

moderator note: all kinds of f#%&ed isn't really an informative title, it's better to change it to something like "models missing parts" or "models don't render properly". Then people are able to see what you're talking about. All kinds of f!@#ed isn't really a title where you want to help, it looks more like a rant :wink:

Could it be that you have an ATI card and had an update of the Catalyst Control Center last night? Because after that update I had a graphic glitch looking exactly like this in another game. What helped me was to roll back to the previous driver in the device manager. You might want to try that.

Yes this looks definitely like a video driver issue.

And:

1) There's a hole to the outside at the top of the part where the rotating numbers are;
2) the light grey block in the ceiling between the four lights is a func_detail.
Other than that, it compiles fine. (Haven't tested lighting etcetera.)

I actually updated my graphics card recently, perhaps it actually made things worse? Did it compile every good for you?

I found the hole and filled it. it still leaks

Use the "Load Pointfile" command in the Map menu and it will show where the leak is.

According to the interlopers compile log checker, this error has something to do with player navigation and collision detection, and its cause is usually very hard to track down.

If you don't have problems moving around the map, and physics objects aren't acting weird, you don't need to pay attention to this one.

actually the map is tripping balls a LOT!!

I managed to isolate the error by deleting section by section, compiling repeatedly, until i noticed the change. I went back and replaced the bad peices.

My graphics are still tripping, though. I may need a new graphics card. DX

Just a small bump to confirm this is indeed true. I have an ATI card and just updated it this morning, only to be greeted with broken models across all my Source engine games.

I think hate mail/ all caps shouting isn't the solution. Sending a polite e-mail addressing the issue would be better I suppose.
