Yah but you should fix the leak.

It says more that *******error******
leaked

there is a reason for aleak and they can be fixed easily.

the actual massege was like this :

**************
****LEAKED****
**************

i already recovered all the things i missed due that LEAK ..
but i still want to know how to fix that.
u know, for future ...

cause i tried pointfile , and i dont see any red lines in the radiaent ...

so i solved that by working again from my last restore point , and then selected the missing brushes in the corrupted file . then opend the old restore point file. the radiant asked if i want to copy the selected items , i saied yes . and voila , evrything was in its place ... and the error LEAKED was gone in compiling ...THANK GOD .
it was time consuming , but worth it ...

thannks

There is a thread entitled compile errors on TMT.

We have been naming as many compile errors as we can and naming solutions to them check it out.

A leak isnt that bad and they can all be fixed.

**************
****LEAKED****
**************

means that you have a leak in your sky box
either a gap or something sticking through it

heres what I do when I get Leaked
start at one corner and go all the way around the box right on it
if I see any kind of gap I fix it if I see where the compiler tried to fix a gap I
remove what it did and fix it myself
do one whole side at a time or go all the way around the top and then the bottom then checke each corner
you should find any gaps or things sticking through

I got it once and found where I had my top selected when I selected another peice to move and moved both about 20 units LOL
and one time I found I have moved the top and forgot to put it back
and it was a side one // it's easy to move a part of the skybox and not relize it or forget you did

then again we assume you do have a skybox

To me it sounds like he is talking about an entity leak--a door or a light. No pointfile line will show up for those.

A leaking light is caused by a light that has its bright part shining on both sides of a wall, floor, or ceiling brush at the same time. You fix it by making the light smaller or the brush thicker, or by moving the light.

I don't remember what causes leaking doors, but they can be a pain in the butt too. Remaking the door from scratch sometimes helps.

leaking door is the origin brush going into the wall its not supposed to .

kdja a leaky door wil lsay Door leaked
or windows or what ever

**************
****LEAKED****
**************
means the skybox leaked and the compiler couldnt fix it
it's a major leak

actualy i dont have a sky box , the map is a one big room ....

but that way to find the Leak in sky box by Moal , is nice idea.

i will keep it in mind for future ..

i solved the problem already , but i dont know what was it , cause as i saied b4 , i recompiled from a restore point i made before ...

but brfore that i didnt know what was the problem , after compiling is done , when i run the map in MOHAA , i see in one corner of the map , as it looks like void , u know , when things keep laying over its self like when u spectate a game ...

i dont know what happend there , but thank god i make restore points

any body know what is that ?
thx to u all ...
