Can someone explain me this error?
Loadportals couldn't read c:\program~1\eagame~1\mohaa\main\maps\dm\jon.prt

Did you also come across something called a leak? It means that your map has a leak. Just find the entity that has leaked (e.g Entity xxx leaked)
when you compile. Or just make a large box that covers your whole map, although you may experience low FPS.

Better:

Use file -> pointfile... in Radiant. Follow the red line to your leak and patch it.

I use file=>pointfile in radiant, i cover my whole map with a closed skybox and still there is a leak.
See the sreenshots:

The leak is either at the bottom of the church tower or in the top left hand corner of your skybox.

I delete the whole tower the skybox is closed and still there is a leak. Can i send my map to you guys so you can see what the problem is?

Well I'm too busy for that. Someone else might want to.

Olny when the compiler reports a ***leaked*** message in Mbuilder, you have a leak. If that's not the case, then you can safely ignore the red pointfile line. Sometimes when it's there you can't seem to get rid of it. Had the same thing once. It kept pointing to an entity (a light), then when I deleted it, it just pointed to the next one.

Just make sure your sky-"box" is thick enough and don't worry about overlapping sky-brushes. Again, when you don't see any ***leaked*** errors in the compiler's console, there's no leak.

Maybe you can try to delete the bsp file where you compile and recompile it! Will work!

Also delete the .lin file to see if a newer is created. (800th post 8))
