Compiling

LegacyUser

After compiling tfc loads up my map, but its all really bright and pants looking. Now i know thats meant to happen if i dont run rad when compiling but I am running it. But i notice when I read the process window in the "vis" section of it it says : "There was a problem compiling the map". Im using Zoners compile tools (the same happened with the default ones for WC.) Any suggestions?

Copy the Compile Log and paste it into here...

without readin the whole thing I cant really determine the roblem...

Warning: === LEAK in hull 0 ===
Entity info_tfgoal @ (-176, 80,-176)
Error:
A LEAK is a hole in the map, where the inside of it is exposed to the
(unwanted) outside region. The entity listed in the error is just a helpful
indication of where the beginning of the leak pointfile starts, so the
beginning of the line can be quickly found and traced to until reaching the
outside. Unless this entity is accidentally on the outside of the map, it
probably should not be deleted. Some complex rotating objects entities need
their origins outside the map. To deal with these, just enclose the origin
brush with a solid world brush

Yeah swifty, your map has a leak (and probably more, the WC log only shows the first leak it comes across). A quick-fix solution would be to enclose your entire map with a hollow box, but this is frowned upon... it can lead to bad framerates and latency and excessively long compile times etc.

You have leak in your level.You need to make sure you can't see the black from inside your level.Also make sure you have a sky and that its hollow.
