First of all, can you tell us if your map is all indoors, or if it is also outdoors? Either way if you create a skybox that completely "seals" the contents of the map from the void, this will fix the problem. Also is your map done? I purposely have a leak in my skybox when building my maps, so the compile process is extremely fast for test purposes.

If you can post your map for download, I would be happy to try to find it.
I once was lost, but now........... I'm still lost!

entity leaks

Sometimes the compilers says doors, window, or lights are leaking and there are no cracks in the skybox. This type of leaking wont hurt your map, but it is related to vis and it could affect the preformance. So, it is good to fix it, if you can.

Lights can leak if the bright part of the light shines through to the other side of a wall, floor, or ceiling. It's ok if the bright part sticks into the wall, but not all the way through it.

Leaking doors and window, can somtimes be fixed by rebuilding them, but it may be the textures used that causes it.

Good luck!
