Annoying compile warning

[danm36]

I keepe on getting this compile warning whenever I compile my map.

Its not a leak, and the compiled map works successfully, I just want to know if I can fix these errors (FindPortalSide) somehow. And yes, there is a large halo of fake fog (fakefog01) textures in the skybox. I'm guessing these are distrupting the VisLeafs somehow, despite the fact I have a func_viscluster surrounding the entire skybox (Not leaking)

Thanks in advance

well maps will compile with leaks, you'll just have massive lighting and vis issues. It is odd that the compiler isn't explicitly saying LEAKED though.



Are you using area portals?

 

[danm36]

The lighting is correct and everything on compile, I am using some areaportals that function correctly. The co-ordinates for the Huge Windows are inside the skybox, should this be the cause of the annoying messages (No errors what-so-ever)

 

[Shinobi]

did you try tracking down the brushes by ID, seeing if something is wrong, and if all else fails, rebuilding the geometry?

 

[danm36]

Yes. the brushes turned out to be each part of a 64 segment horizontal arch in the skybox leading to a halo-effect. The fakefog01 texture then allows me to give the fake appearence of sand haze (Partially obscuring the non-fog affected skybox, This effect also includes traditional skybox fog) as the skybox is just a continuation of a desert. The Huge halo is func_detail, yet despite this it apparently cuts up vis-leafs.
