First of all,Im a newbie at this mapping thing.

Secondly,I read all stickes and searched for tutorials on my problem and failed

Entity info_player_start @ (1052,-522, 992)

Warning: === LEAK in hull 1 ===
Entity info_player_start @ (1052,-522, 992)
Warning: === LEAK in hull 2 ===
Entity info_player_start @ (1052,-522, 992)
Warning: === LEAK in hull 3 ===
Entity info_player_start @ (1052,-522, 992)

It says Leak in Hull... So this means that you
1.) need to add a skybox around your map
2.) the entities are not located inside a skybox
3.) you have a leak in your map that you need to find.

And exceeding Max leaf brushes.. Hmm I haven't got that problem since I first started mapping so I cant really tell ya...

Well i made i box with the block tool around my map.(i think this is the way to add a skybox)

I made a map before that worked but the "hull" i made wasnt invisible.(So if you can tell me how to make it invisible it will help)


oh and thanks for the help.

{EDIT} I fixed all above problems exept "Max_Leaf Faces"
I fixed the hull problem, it was a very small gap in the hull
I still need help with max leaf faces,please help{/EDIT}

every texture on every face of a block is splittet in leafs when u compile the map ... scale the textures a bit more and the error is fixed ... *reallyshortexplaination^^*

 

[Chitenga]

Would you mind giving me the long explenation? :

uhh ... that is really hard to explain for me .. specially in english .. but i will try ...
umm .. first .. srry, but i was wrong in my last post .. i wrote about faces .. but nm, u can reduce r_speeds with scaling ^^

generally the error max_leaf faces means that your map is too complex/extensively and

ok, on this pic u can see what a leaf is ...

every of this green things is a leaf, they are invisible, so u only would see a room with a cylinder in it ingame. they tell the engeine what u can see and what not from the current camera position with the portals ( portals is the surface where 2 leafs are "touching" each other )
soo .. what can we do to reduce the leafs?
in this case it would be best if you make a func_wall of this cylinder, becouse func_walls will not be splittet in faces while compiling, so they will not be considered while creating faces ^^
if you would have two or more cylinders in one room or vertexmanipulated object, the faces would cut each other on the edges and create more faces. but if you dont want to make them a func_wall, you can put a brush with the HINT texture (from the zhlt wad; you have to use zoners tolls to use them) around it, which would cut the faces nearly on the cylinder and the rest of the room would be splitted into a few sqare leafs.(remember: never make a vis blcker to a func_wall, then you would get the error LEAK )
ok, i hope u understand now ^^

too complex?

Isnt that how esf maps are made?

with alot of brushes and stuff...
