I was testing my maps for leaks and I de-checked BSP, VIS and RAD in the compile option for much faster compiles to find all the leaks, I've updated my map and need to test it but when ever I compile the map and load it nothing changes, it's like compiling the same version of the map. I re-checked VIS, RAD and BSP but this still happens.

There must be some thing simple I'm over looking, any ideas what it is?

The bsp file is not being updated, and so vvis is using the older version of the map, hence nothing is being updated.

Try deleting the bsp (or moving I suggest) in the maps folder. Then try to compile it should make a new bsp. If it does, try running the map in portal. If not then thats the problem

I'd find that func_detail brush, move it to world and recompile.

That worked, but now I can see a nodraw texture on the displacement if I noclip and take a look XD

You're not using the displacement to seal the map are you?

E1025 wrote:

Like Nacimota said, displacements cannot seal the world. You need a real brush underneath it to seal from the void. Either way, who cares what you can see underneath the displacement, you're never going to be down there anyway?

The displacement is sealed off from the void. As for never seeing it, I suppose your right but hammer spams messages at me about it which temps me to fix it.

Post the messages?

You've got a displacement with a nodraw texture, or at least that's my interpretation, see what interlopers says

The problems seems to be fixed, for the map not updating, I changed the displacement into the world and for the nodraw error I just changed the nordraw textures to the texture I was using for the displacement.

You know that there's a compilation log checker right here, don't you ?

You have a leak. Please, try to fix simple and common issues like this first. And yes, the Interlopers error tool is a life saver.

True; I let mine go for a while once, and while vrad, etc was all running on my map, it really wasnt doing hardly anything. Weeks later, once I eventually went through a 3 hour session to clean up all my leaks (I wish they told you about more than one at a time), then I discovered I had a HUGE issue I wasnt even seeing.

Fix leaks the moment you see them.

I try not to cause leaks in the first place

I knew my updated map had leaks, I've been fixing this map all day and have now made the map leak free.

Edit: There probably isn't but is there a way to be able to see every leak in the map with out having to compile it over and over to find one leak at a time?

Nope. What you can do though is just run VBSP after you fix a leak and don't bother running VVIS or VRAD (since they're not necessary to find leaks). That should save you a ton of time.
