func_detail broken ingame CS:GO Hammer

[crowbAr]

Hi,

Im currently working on a map for the MapCore mapping contest and I encountered an error I never saw before. Here is a screenshot:

And how it is supposed to look like:

 

I use tons of func_detail in my maps, because I dont know how to make props myself (and so far I didnt need to), but sometimes I encountered problems when having too many func_details, this might be one of them.

I appreciate all help.

How are these brushes arranged? is the wood func_detail too?

 

I take it the brush is a square shape and doesn't match the missing area?

[crowbAr]

almost everything you see there is func_detail except parts of the bridge

 

while we are at it: is it better to have many single func_details or tie many things into one func_detail? I think there is no difference right?

have you deleted and created the brush again?

Issues like this are normally invalid brushwork (invalid floating point numbers etc) that gets deleted on compile -should be in the compile log- looks pretty solid and simple though...

[crowbAr]

yeah I remade it multiple times. I will check the compile log

Could it be too many vertices on one face and thus it breaks the engine/compile process? Try splitting the brush with white texture in to 4 pieces vertically.

[crowbAr]

it has the normal amount of vertices

edit: oh do you mean because there are so many small func_detal, each with their own vertices, that there are too many of them for one face ?

​Yes.

when you ALT+P does hammer complain about anything?

[crowbAr]

Alt+P shows nothing related to this problem.

I split the white brush vertically and this happenend:

Edit: I changed the brush with the white texture to world brush and the problem is still there, so the problem is not func_detail?

find the text file for this verson of the map which should be your compile log.

Run it through the Interlopers.net compile log checker and see if it spits anything out.

I had the same issue, for me it was caused by a misplaced hint which caused the engine to have trouble figuring out what was going on there visibility wise, have you had yellow warnings like like that?

[crowbAr]

I have no yellow warnings except that water_lod control or something is missing (I know what that is) and that a texture has no surfaceprop something or so. I dont think these relate to anything.

I tried the compile checker on Interlopers but I got nothing.

btw thanks for trying to help me guys  this bug is getting really annoying. Im ill, when I recover I will try out more things.

Have you checked visleaves in-game with mat_leafvis or something like that, or in hammer with loading portal file in the edition submenu if I remember right?

[crowbAr]

just checked it, nothing special with it
