I've spent the last two days trying to figure out what is causing my pc lock up while I am trying to compile. I have a number of maps out and havn't ever had the locking up problem. My sky box is not leaking. However I am getting this warning and I'm sure it's what's causing the locking up problem.

Warning: couldn't find image for shader textures/common/clip_nosight_nothing

I've looked in the forums and tried some of the things suggested for other people but still can't figure it out. If anyone knows how to fix it please let me know.

Thanks

I have had that before, but everything still turned out ok in the map...I dont think its anything noticable or anything that will hurt...but then again thats just my exsperiance.

The problem is the compile doesn't finish before my pc locks up and it doesn't lock up unless I am trying to compile....it's weird

when does it lock up in the compile process? if you have a really big map it will take a very long time to compile...does it lock up right when the error pops up?

It locks during the compile process. During the part that takes the longest...Flare i think it is. It was locking at the same precentage however with trying to identify the problem that precentage has changed from 7%- 16%.

Just a shot:

1. Did you apply a foliage texture to a caulked brush?

Or:

2. Back up your map file then look at your map file with notepad and find the brush with the "clip_nosight_nothing" and try deleting it (carefully) then try a recompile and see if that sorts out the problem.

Cheers

Alright i was wrong on when it locks up it's actually during the sample-based diffuse lighting part.

I did have a caulked brush with foliage on it. I deleted that. It's still showing the clip_nosight_nothing but I'm waiting now to find out if it will lock up.

when you say 'lock up' you mean...the mouse doesn't work?

No i mean the sound will start glitching and everything
have to totally restart my pc. total lockup

No dice it just changed the lockup point to 26%

sound will start glitching? sure it isnt because your running music in the background and taking up valuble memory?
