[Source] Need help with strange leak

[maxlevelboi]

Hello there I have a weird leak I have never experienced before and I do not know how to fix it sadly

 

First picture shows my normal level without any leak (woho!)

Second picture shows the leak, it ONLY occurs when I look at a very specific point in my level, has anyone ever had this problem before and the solution?

Look at the top of the 2nd picture, the clear blue sky is gone

I had something like that once, but it was an issue with visleaves, and occurred only in a definite space area, is it the same for you?

welcome to hint/skip nightmare(I'm just guessing)

Yepp exact same!

welcome to hint/skip nightmare(I'm just guessing)

I have tried removing some hint blocks but I can remove all to see what happenes

[laminutederire]

I have tried removing some hint blocks but I can remove all to see what happenes

as tomm said it's probably a hint issue. Try to rebuild those in that area to see if it is better?

Will post results as soon as I can : -)

[maxlevelboi]

I have removed all hint and skip and it still persists : /

[hgn]

In Hammer: Map > Load Portal File, go to that area and see if there is some crazy blue boxes going on, I don't know what might cause the black skybox, but anything that looks problematic (small / crazy shaped VISleafs) is likely to be it.

Try running the map without VIS, just to see if its an optimization problem, if the but is still there without VIS turned on, its not something to do with how the level is optimized, and then I have no clue.

[laminutederire]

Usually there are warnings when compiling,  do you have any?

[maxlevelboi]

Compile log incoming as soon as possible and I will try the Load Portal File : -)!

[maxlevelboi]

Ran without vis and it is for sure visleafs that are at fault!

[Squad]

 Can you post the compile log? Also, are you using (horizontal) areaportals in your map?

I will post it right now : -) and I tried without areaportals problem remains (no Idea if they are horizontal or not(?))

Don't test  leaves performances with Vvis in fast, you need a full compile to check if they are working well. Because fast don't calculate visibility between leaves.

 also this kind of error can happen when your leaves are damn too complicated, something like this :

 

Also 90% brushes, that's a huge map !!

Edited January 19, 2016 by 3Dnj

[El_Exodus]

8395 numportals are a lot! Invest time for optimizing the map. Set more non vis blocking brushes as func_detail. Maybe the issue will be resolved once you've done this.
