make sure your real map is updating, it wont update bsp if there are any errors check "[cod4 location]/map_source/" for any files with your map name except [mapname].map . (.lin, .error, ext) are usualy error files if you have one of those files read them and look for an error in it. with luck that should make sure that your map updates, since it seems like your map is fine, it might just have some errors so it wont update it.

1. Open Radiant and load your map: File >> Open >> yourmap.map; 2. Check the leak: File >> Point File; 3. Check the errors: File >> Error File (or something similar I don't have Radiant open at the moment). Press Shift + Ctrl + 'K' to cycle forward through the error list. I think you can use Shift + Ctrl + 'L' to cycle backward in the error list, but you ought to check that by looking at the key mapping in the Help menu. Tam

Post a SS if you can that shows what's going on. Sorry about the lack of help the other day. If you can you should also post your Compile log. The error is going to be in there as well and should be easier to work with in the log rather than the SS or in-map. After BSP compile is done, right click CMD window and say "select all" then press enter. Your compile log is now been copied, you can paste it here, using the code button.

follow the read line and eventually it will lead to a "leak" in your skybox or portals.

Bingo: ERROR: Reflection probe at (-1016.0 264.0 232.0) is in solid. Shows right before: ########### COMPILE LIGHT ########### So check all your reflection Probes, and get it out of your Solid brush. Then your map should Update and your HQ should work correctly. I should have thought about that before, that your map may not have been updating, just assumed you were watching your BSP compile log for errors. Looking for errors in every compile should become a Tradition, do it so YOU KNOW, you can rule out that, yes, my map is updating. Nice call Smasher816 on making sure map is updating!
