compile error

[EddieBrock]

I get this error when I compile my map. What's going on?

Do you have a Leak?

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Definitely a leak.

 

[_Meitsi_]

Check out pointfile...

 

[EddieBrock]

I found something under "map" called "load pointfile", I did that and it has a red line that goes to my starting position and moves around. How do I find the coordinates the log refers to? I'm going to post the whole log here:

[Limpet]

That red line is what points out your leaks. When using area portals you have to use the same rules that you do when making the larger map. Follow the red line and seal up the holes.

You can put in coordinates by view>go to coordinates...

 

[EddieBrock]

What's an area portal?

 

[Raeven0]

If you don't know what it is you probably only have to worry about the primary sense of "leak": a hole in the map allowing the black, void Outside to touch the playable Inside.

 

[silentbob]

just fix any holes you have, and remember that displacements and props dont block the void.
