A Very Weird Problem

SnakeUb

<div class="IPBDescription">looks like a leak ingame but not</div> i got a bit of wall (not huge) that looks like a leak ingame u get the hall o mirrors thingy but
- it isnt (hlvis works) (no leak report in compile) (i checked)
- r_speeds are ok there

does anyone know why this happens and how i can get round it

This happens when vis (?) has problems to calculate this leaf which has probably to do with some weird brush oder unuseable face alignment... if you didn't use the NULL texture on that face, of course <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Simply try to delete an rebuild the brush with the face causing the problem. Be sure to have all the vertices of this brush and other brushes nerarby exactly on the grid. This should help in most cases.

Ihis is a leaf_portal_saw_into_leaf or its just our of the view distance (or the null texture used on a solid brush).

map / properties sets the max view distance. higher view distance = higher pings on servers.

Leaf portal saw into leaf is a minor vis error caused by too complex level geometry.
best solved with -full vis, geometry simplifications and hint brushes.
The visible volume of your map gets split into "leafes" (volume filling brushes) that are connected to each other by portals.
By using HINT brushes you determine were leafes are split, most times casusing more and smaller leafes and higher w_poly.
the maps.log shows xyz coordinates of the fitst 4 leaf portal_saw_into_leaf - portal coordinates (minx, miny, minz, maxx, maxy, maxz) that have this error.
