[Help] Having a problem after compiling in Hammer

[oaaron99]

Whenever I am done compiling my map in hammer I go in-game and some of the walls and floor is all black. Please help

[oaaron99]

you need to put a light_env into your level most likely

 

Ok that makes sense but now when I go into game I see this http://prntscr.com/570w2w

 

Does that mean there is a leak in the map?

Not sure. Where do I see this. xD 

Thanks for the response

 

You most likely have a leak in your level. It's either:

- a gap in the geometry (regular brushes).

- a gap in the skybox brushes (The engine's way of making a sky around your level, if you choose to have one).

 

It would be great if you posted a link to the .vmf file of your map. Just upload it to any site like Mediafire or Dropbox.

 

Okay here it is:

Just delete the big toolsskybox brush you have surrounding the level and it will work fine...it's not compiling because the playable space is inside of a big, solid cube  

Alternatively, make the sky cube hollow by a small amount (tools -> make hollow) and it should also work.
