ok guys, thank u for all your help, with this problem, it seems to be working ok now, not had any probs for a while now.
one thing that is puzzling me is, i put a tank model into the map, and the compiled it, it dint show up, then i deleted it, not there is a space on the map that i cant run threw, its like i got a big square Caulk brush there that hasn't been textured. but there is no such thing showing in radiant.
and in the textures window in radiant, there r texture, Clip No Sight Clip - and Clip No Sight Metal. but i cant see the in the map anywhere. these r the lines that appear inthe CoDBuilder to:-

WARNING: Couldn't find image for shader textures/sky/mp_depot
WARNING: Couldn't find image for shader textures/common/clip_nosight_dirt
WARNING: Couldn't find image for shader textures/common/clip_nosight_nothing
WARNING: entity 0 brush 453: tris with major axis not matching major axis for whole mesh; bad lighting likely


i sorted the brush out, but have no idead about the Clip Textures, can someone pleas help me

I've seen that error before. I still don't completely understand it. My previous experience with it is that it is usually caused by a bad texture. I've had large maps that have had this problem, and very small maps. The last time I troubleshot this problem, I had to replace a certain texture (I believe one of the industrial textures). Once I eliminated that texture, my map compiled without problem.

Check to see if you've added any new textures since your last successful compile.

Code Bug: Triangulation Failed - Happens when you have a malformed brush and/or mesh. Small brushes in peculiar locations can also cause this.

Oh no, Ive be3en getting code bug : triangulation failed on my new prefab :( (does nothing ever go perfectly ;)

Are there any tricks to finding this malformed brush?

also.. the entire model is built with Industrial textures, is there a chance that I might have the dodgy one in there and that is what is causing the error?

try removing all texture from your brushes...

(create a box around your entire factory and click select-inside)

now everything is highlighted

change the texture to common caulk

save it as a prefab (this is the way prefabs SHOULD come - untextured)

throw it in a map with some simple normandy textures and a skybox and compile - we'll see whether its a texture or a brush then
