no pintfile???????

[lukeskywalker1]

ummm... ok i did that pointfile thing like u guys said, but the red line was going straight through solid walls!!! then i did that bobs tools thing, and brush cleanup, and it was ok. then i had an item out side of my walls, and the line started there, but i deleted the item, it happend again with a different item, i got rid of that. then, when i clicked pointfile, no line showed up at all! i compiled, and it was still wrong! i just cant seem to get this.

 

let me ask a question:

 

i have a building, and u can go outside. there is a sky texture at the top, and one side has the sky i want, but its supposed to be at night, so i didnt put a lot of light around, but i want people to see the star type texture! so will that sky texture make the whole entire level bright?

 

im pretty sur ei have gotten all my leaks out, so what do i do?

 

thanks again

well if u want the stars to come through to make it look like its night then u cant have the sky shader on there and if it gives its own light then it will make the level brighter

Light entities do absolutely ZILCH to sky shaders. You'll see the nighttime stars just fine.

 

The only reason your map would be lit from the sky shader is if it's a light-emitting shader, in which case it would have a name like "sky_light," for example artus_light, kejim_light, and bespin_light.

k, so does any1 know how i can fix the level? i did that r_clear code and didnt c any leaks, and neither Radiants r picking anything up, but the level is still screwed up!!

OKOK, if you want, send me the .map file and I'll see what I can do. But before that the best thing would be if you could post here the junk.txt file. Turn off BSP monitoring in Preferences if necessary.

I sort of restarted the map, if it happens again, then ill send it to u. my second looks better than the old 1. thanks anyways.

Well, just about every mapping problem can be caused by leaks, so everyone blames leaks for their problems. If there is no pointfile, there are probably no leaks. Therefore, the culprit is something other than a leak.
