Warning: === LEAK in hull 0 ===
Entity light @ (-2892,-2460,-3492)
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

Is there a way to see where the leek is, or do i have to serch the whole map??
I know the "big-box" thing but i think that it's not a solution

brute_force

Map > Load Pointfile (if it asks you to use the default, press no) > open MAPNAME.lin
Then just follow the line until it goes through a hole.

I loaded the .lin file but i can't find a hole. It goes thrugh a lot of solid walls.. do I have to redo all walls it goes thrugh?

Well, first of all make sure they're not entities. If they aren't, and the line is still going through them, just try following it until you can find a hole. It's possible sometimes for it to go through solids when there's a leak. Also check for problems in Hammer, and make sure you've loaded the .lin (if you're using Batch Compiler, you might have to uncheck "Delete .lin file").

I usually just click yes??
Also if your line runs out in the editor and you still havnt found the leak, compile using the param

"-particles <number>"

were <number> is the amount of points you want for the pointfile. Set it to something like 90000 and your sure to find it._

Leaks are evil... I usually get them when a make a non-rectangular shape that is exposed to the void. Make sure don't have your grid too small, as 1 unit gap is just as much of a leak as a big gaping hole.

other times im jsut moving brush and scaling in one side i forgot to extend so i cover one side and open other is so lazy i think i have to make my maps in the morning because at night im so lazy ohoh.
