why is this rendering?

[fonfa]

well dude, maybe you should try remaking that single area and see if you get the same issue

Here's my ye old Bounce remake map. The above picture is the released version (just weeks after the SDK got released and everyone had little knowledge) and the below picture is after I added areaportals into it (when I learned what they did):

You may be good with areaportals but good lord I never want to see another un-func_detailed torus again in my life!

Maybe post a BSP if you can't find out what the problem is. Hard to tell much from that screenshot, and mat_wireframe 1 is so messy.

ugh after looking at this again I found a brush under the last set of stairs to be cutting into the world brush under it. I am sure it's doing something funky on compile to open vis there, I am recompiling now and we will see.

Ok I have some of the issues fixed thanks to my friend Furyo for the help and sound advice. He placed some portals for me and found the problems with that area rendering. I have a problem when looking at the portals I get a the nodraw effect anyone know why?

And here's a screenshot that shows Areaportals in the works on my map (2 screenshots merged), with 'r_drawportals 1' : http://www.shatteredminds.net/skit/areaportals.jpg

Gives you an idea how they work practically.

Yeah was just a leaky portal, thanks for the links.
