I've been looking all morning for a leak in a map im fooling around with. could anybody help me find it? the map isnt that big and its deffinitly not that advanced (im really new at this). If anyone wants to give it a shot you can get it here... http://mudvaynenet.phpwebhosting.com/doom3/test4.map

thanks.

load your map. compile even though there is a leak. This will create a pointfile. go to the menu option Load > Pointfile...

Follow the red line to the leak in your map.

i followed your directions, but the pointfile didnt lead me to the problem.

if you saw a red line in the map, then it really did lead you to the problem. At least, that is what the game is telling you is your problem.

It could be a tiny hole, a transparent texture, an entity outside of the map, etc.

i have had some problems with leaks and they are lil red dots in the middl ef no where i dunno what there doing there or y there there, i have 2 make a lil box around it so mt map will compile, i dont know how it got there but i seem 2 have loads of them and i only notice it when i come 2 compile my map, i think i remember some1 else with a similer problem, i just wondered if any1 had found out what or y they are there etc

if it's a hole in geometry, I'd suggest turning the grid size to the largest you can use without being destructive to your map, selecting every object, and hitting ctrl+g to snap them all to the grid.

It could also be, say, a glass texture that looks out into the void, or a number of other non-leak problems that just sound like leak problems.

Of course, you can always just make a big airtight caulk box around everything. (Though, I've never done this. Might this pose a problem?)

making a big caulk box around evrything will solve the problem

ohhh.. not that good of an idea. You are only going to end up making your map larger and probably have worse frame rates. You should fin d the cause.

I just used the pointfile to find some leaks; it's really helpful. Keep in mind the red line represents the path the void is taking to find an entity; if you have any entites that the void comes in contact with, your map is leaked. Your hole should be somewhere along the pointline.
