Fatal Error: ************leaked**************

Discription:
Quote:
(from hellstorm:) A leak is usually one of the following:

(a) an entity is placed in the void. This seems to include lights, with the exception of fogs (where a basicfog texture is applied to the light) and maybe a few other types.

(b) you have used a semi-transparent texture on a wall or floor that leads out into the void. Doom 3 seems to think certain non-transparent textures fall into this category, that can be a source of leaks.

(c) there is a hole in your walls that leads out into the void.

(d) Sometimes Doom 3 doesn't like entities being placed in particular areas, such as doors.

(e)entity or models whose origin point is buried in (structural) brushwork

----
Solution:
Quote:
(a) Delete the entity, or place it in your map.
(b)Change the texture that you`ve used.
(c)Close the hole, for a little help you can use File>Pointfile, then you see a arrow. For more leaks use then Misc>Next Leak.
(d) In the most cases is deleting the entity the solution.
(e)check origin points and move away from brushwork where appropriate.

You can also put a box around your map, but that`s a very unofficial method, so it`s not recommended, use it if the Hole leaks can`t be solved or if Pointfile didn`t work.

Yeah, you'll find that 'forcing' the portals to recalculate is often the simplest solution.

I feel as though I should add on a bit more to the part about the deleting of degenerate brush primitives. If you've got a list of degenerate brushes, deleting the highest numbered brush and working down to the lowest number may be better.

I made an observation when deleting my first degenerate brushes ever. Whenever I selected and deleted the brush, I input that same brush number, which then moves on to select a completely different brush. I deleted that one, thinking it was the degenerate brush, completely unaware that I already got rid of the degenrate brush.
After going through a few more brushes on the list, I decided to compile my map again to see the list refreshed. The same number of degenerate brushes appeared again (except the ONLY one that I deleted), and they had different numbers.
I'm thinking that maybe when you delete a brush, the remaining brushes that follow in numeric labelling 'move down' a slot. So when I have two degenerate brushes (11 & 13), I find and delete number 11. My theory is that the former degenerate brush #13 is now #12, while the old #12 (which is obviously non-degenerate) is now #11.

Unless somebody can explain otherwise and clear things up, I recommend deleting the degenerate brushes from highest to lowest number. It helped me out. :)

You need to provide some more information. Any error messages in the console when loading the map, etc. In the meantime check the following:

Bittoman@Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2005 4:42 am :
Well, part of the creation process is learning. One thing you must learn is how to correct mistakes and errors. As easy as it might be to send the map to someone and have them fix it it would be cheating you out of being able to handle your own problems and giving you the ability to say "I did this". I'd much rather the ugliest piece of trash map be released by you when you could say without conflict "I did this by myself". Post the errors you're getting and I'm sure you'll get plenty of information to help you discover your mistakes and in turn learn how to avoid them in the future than.

Just explain the error here. It may be faster than sending it to someone. Bittoman is right. Do it yourself. If you think you have, then make sure you've tried EVERYTHING within your capabilities. So far, you haven't. The one last thing you can try is posting your error here. If that fails, then ask someone to personally take a look at the map. Please give us the details so we can try to help you.

I think it means that some Operating Systems do not support upper case letters in path names, so that means the path is not portable. (I think)

Of course, when working in radiant you're not dealing with vertices directly. A brush is a collection of infinite planes. It's the intercections between these planes that form a box or some other convex volume.

The question is how you end up with a vertex with one edge in the level editor. I imagine it's some nonsense left over by the compilation process. Why the compiler doesn't just delete these extra vertices is beyond me.

I think it means that some Operating Systems do not support upper case letters in path names, so that means the path is not portable. (I think)

Of course, when working in radiant you're not dealing with vertices directly. A brush is a collection of infinite planes. It's the intercections between these planes that form a box or some other convex volume.

The question is how you end up with a vertex with one edge in the level editor. I imagine it's some nonsense left over by the compilation process. Why the compiler doesn't just delete these extra vertices is beyond me.

(from hellstorm:) A leak is usually one of the following:

(a) an entity is placed in the void. This seems to include lights, with the exception of fogs (where a basicfog texture is applied to the light) and maybe a few other types.

(b) you have used a semi-transparent texture on a wall or floor that leads out into the void. Doom 3 seems to think certain non-transparent textures fall into this category, that can be a source of leaks.

(c) there is a hole in your walls that leads out into the void.

(d) Sometimes Doom 3 doesn't like entities being placed in particular areas, such as doors.

(a) Delete the entity, or place it in your map.
(b)Change the texture that you`ve used.
(c)Close the hole, for a little help you can use File>Pointfile, then you see a arrow. For more leaks use then Misc>Next Leak.
(d) In the most cases is deleting the entity the solution.
(e)check origin points and move away from brushwork where appropriate.

You can also put a box around your map, but that`s a very unofficial method, so it`s not recommended, use it if the Hole leaks can`t be solved or if Pointfile didn`t work.

Yeah, you'll find that 'forcing' the portals to recalculate is often the simplest solution.

I feel as though I should add on a bit more to the part about the deleting of degenerate brush primitives. If you've got a list of degenerate brushes, deleting the highest numbered brush and working down to the lowest number may be better.

I made an observation when deleting my first degenerate brushes ever. Whenever I selected and deleted the brush, I input that same brush number, which then moves on to select a completely different brush. I deleted that one, thinking it was the degenerate brush, completely unaware that I already got rid of the degenrate brush.
After going through a few more brushes on the list, I decided to compile my map again to see the list refreshed. The same number of degenerate brushes appeared again (except the ONLY one that I deleted), and they had different numbers.
I'm thinking that maybe when you delete a brush, the remaining brushes that follow in numeric labelling 'move down' a slot. So when I have two degenerate brushes (11 & 13), I find and delete number 11. My theory is that the former degenerate brush #13 is now #12, while the old #12 (which is obviously non-degenerate) is now #11.

Unless somebody can explain otherwise and clear things up, I recommend deleting the degenerate brushes from highest to lowest number. It helped me out. :)

You need to provide some more information. Any error messages in the console when loading the map, etc. In the meantime check the following:

Bittoman@Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2005 4:42 am :
Well, part of the creation process is learning. One thing you must learn is how to correct mistakes and errors. As easy as it might be to send the map to someone and have them fix it it would be cheating you out of being able to handle your own problems and giving you the ability to say "I did this". I'd much rather the ugliest piece of trash map be released by you when you could say without conflict "I did this by myself". Post the errors you're getting and I'm sure you'll get plenty of information to help you discover your mistakes and in turn learn how to avoid them in the future than.

Just explain the error here. It may be faster than sending it to someone. Bittoman is right. Do it yourself. If you think you have, then make sure you've tried EVERYTHING within your capabilities. So far, you haven't. The one last thing you can try is posting your error here. If that fails, then ask someone to personally take a look at the map. Please give us the details so we can try to help you.

Unless somebody can explain otherwise and clear things up, I recommend deleting the degenerate brushes from highest to lowest number. It helped me out. :)

Well, part of the creation process is learning. One thing you must learn is how to correct mistakes and errors. As easy as it might be to send the map to someone and have them fix it it would be cheating you out of being able to handle your own problems and giving you the ability to say "I did this". I'd much rather the ugliest piece of trash map be released by you when you could say without conflict "I did this by myself". Post the errors you're getting and I'm sure you'll get plenty of information to help you discover your mistakes and in turn learn how to avoid them in the future than.

Just explain the error here. It may be faster than sending it to someone. Bittoman is right. Do it yourself. If you think you have, then make sure you've tried EVERYTHING within your capabilities. So far, you haven't. The one last thing you can try is posting your error here. If that fails, then ask someone to personally take a look at the map. Please give us the details so we can try to help you.

You can also put a box around your map, but that`s a very unofficial method, so it`s not recommended, use it if the Hole leaks can`t be solved or if Pointfile didn`t work.

I feel as though I should add on a bit more to the part about the deleting of degenerate brush primitives. If you've got a list of degenerate brushes, deleting the highest numbered brush and working down to the lowest number may be better.

I made an observation when deleting my first degenerate brushes ever. Whenever I selected and deleted the brush, I input that same brush number, which then moves on to select a completely different brush. I deleted that one, thinking it was the degenerate brush, completely unaware that I already got rid of the degenrate brush.
After going through a few more brushes on the list, I decided to compile my map again to see the list refreshed. The same number of degenerate brushes appeared again (except the ONLY one that I deleted), and they had different numbers.
I'm thinking that maybe when you delete a brush, the remaining brushes that follow in numeric labelling 'move down' a slot. So when I have two degenerate brushes (11 & 13), I find and delete number 11. My theory is that the former degenerate brush #13 is now #12, while the old #12 (which is obviously non-degenerate) is now #11.

Unless somebody can explain otherwise and clear things up, I recommend deleting the degenerate brushes from highest to lowest number. It helped me out. :)

I think it means that some Operating Systems do not support upper case letters in path names, so that means the path is not portable. (I think)

A vertex with only one edge would be as if you selected a single vertex in a modeling program and extruded it.

Of course, when working in radiant you're not dealing with vertices directly. A brush is a collection of infinite planes. It's the intercections between these planes that form a box or some other convex volume.

The question is how you end up with a vertex with one edge in the level editor. I imagine it's some nonsense left over by the compilation process. Why the compiler doesn't just delete these extra vertices is beyond me.

Well, part of the creation process is learning. One thing you must learn is how to correct mistakes and errors. As easy as it might be to send the map to someone and have them fix it it would be cheating you out of being able to handle your own problems and giving you the ability to say "I did this". I'd much rather the ugliest piece of trash map be released by you when you could say without conflict "I did this by myself". Post the errors you're getting and I'm sure you'll get plenty of information to help you discover your mistakes and in turn learn how to avoid them in the future than.

I feel as though I should add on a bit more to the part about the deleting of degenerate brush primitives. If you've got a list of degenerate brushes, deleting the highest numbered brush and working down to the lowest number may be better.

I made an observation when deleting my first degenerate brushes ever. Whenever I selected and deleted the brush, I input that same brush number, which then moves on to select a completely different brush. I deleted that one, thinking it was the degenerate brush, completely unaware that I already got rid of the degenrate brush.
After going through a few more brushes on the list, I decided to compile my map again to see the list refreshed. The same number of degenerate brushes appeared again (except the ONLY one that I deleted), and they had different numbers.
I'm thinking that maybe when you delete a brush, the remaining brushes that follow in numeric labelling 'move down' a slot. So when I have two degenerate brushes (11 & 13), I find and delete number 11. My theory is that the former degenerate brush #13 is now #12, while the old #12 (which is obviously non-degenerate) is now #11.

Unless somebody can explain otherwise and clear things up, I recommend deleting the degenerate brushes from highest to lowest number. It helped me out. :)

Solution
I found the answer in this thread.

Note: anway you should put the word "Compiling" in the subject of this trhead.


I feel as though I should add on a bit more to the part about the deleting of degenerate brush primitives. If you've got a list of degenerate brushes, deleting the highest numbered brush and working down to the lowest number may be better.

I made an observation when deleting my first degenerate brushes ever. Whenever I selected and deleted the brush, I input that same brush number, which then moves on to select a completely different brush. I deleted that one, thinking it was the degenerate brush, completely unaware that I already got rid of the degenrate brush.
After going through a few more brushes on the list, I decided to compile my map again to see the list refreshed. The same number of degenerate brushes appeared again (except the ONLY one that I deleted), and they had different numbers.
I'm thinking that maybe when you delete a brush, the remaining brushes that follow in numeric labelling 'move down' a slot. So when I have two degenerate brushes (11 & 13), I find and delete number 11. My theory is that the former degenerate brush #13 is now #12, while the old #12 (which is obviously non-degenerate) is now #11.

Unless somebody can explain otherwise and clear things up, I recommend deleting the degenerate brushes from highest to lowest number. It helped me out. :)

Well, part of the creation process is learning. One thing you must learn is how to correct mistakes and errors. As easy as it might be to send the map to someone and have them fix it it would be cheating you out of being able to handle your own problems and giving you the ability to say "I did this". I'd much rather the ugliest piece of trash map be released by you when you could say without conflict "I did this by myself". Post the errors you're getting and I'm sure you'll get plenty of information to help you discover your mistakes and in turn learn how to avoid them in the future than.

Yeah, you'll find that 'forcing' the portals to recalculate is often the simplest solution.

Yeah, you'll find that 'forcing' the portals to recalculate is often the simplest solution.

I feel as though I should add on a bit more to the part about the deleting of degenerate brush primitives. If you've got a list of degenerate brushes, deleting the highest numbered brush and working down to the lowest number may be better.

I made an observation when deleting my first degenerate brushes ever. Whenever I selected and deleted the brush, I input that same brush number, which then moves on to select a completely different brush. I deleted that one, thinking it was the degenerate brush, completely unaware that I already got rid of the degenrate brush.
After going through a few more brushes on the list, I decided to compile my map again to see the list refreshed. The same number of degenerate brushes appeared again (except the ONLY one that I deleted), and they had different numbers.
I'm thinking that maybe when you delete a brush, the remaining brushes that follow in numeric labelling 'move down' a slot. So when I have two degenerate brushes (11 & 13), I find and delete number 11. My theory is that the former degenerate brush #13 is now #12, while the old #12 (which is obviously non-degenerate) is now #11.

Unless somebody can explain otherwise and clear things up, I recommend deleting the degenerate brushes from highest to lowest number. It helped me out. :)

Well, part of the creation process is learning. One thing you must learn is how to correct mistakes and errors. As easy as it might be to send the map to someone and have them fix it it would be cheating you out of being able to handle your own problems and giving you the ability to say "I did this". I'd much rather the ugliest piece of trash map be released by you when you could say without conflict "I did this by myself". Post the errors you're getting and I'm sure you'll get plenty of information to help you discover your mistakes and in turn learn how to avoid them in the future than.

(d) In the most cases is deleting the entity the solution.
(e)check origin points and move away from brushwork where appropriate.

You can also put a box around your map, but that`s a very unofficial method, so it`s not recommended, use it if the Hole leaks can`t be solved or if Pointfile didn`t work.

(d) Sometimes Doom 3 doesn't like entities being placed in particular areas, such as doors.

(e)entity or models whose origin point is buried in (structural) brushwork

----
Solution:
Quote:
(a) Delete the entity, or place it in your map.
(b)Change the texture that you`ve used.
(c)Close the hole, for a little help you can use File>Pointfile, then you see a arrow. For more leaks use then Misc>Next Leak.
(d) In the most cases is deleting the entity the solution.
(e)check origin points and move away from brushwork where appropriate.

You can also put a box around your map, but that`s a very unofficial method, so it`s not recommended, use it if the Hole leaks can`t be solved or if Pointfile didn`t work.

Yeah, you'll find that 'forcing' the portals to recalculate is often the simplest solution.

I feel as though I should add on a bit more to the part about the deleting of degenerate brush primitives. If you've got a list of degenerate brushes, deleting the highest numbered brush and working down to the lowest number may be better.

I made an observation when deleting my first degenerate brushes ever. Whenever I selected and deleted the brush, I input that same brush number, which then moves on to select a completely different brush. I deleted that one, thinking it was the degenerate brush, completely unaware that I already got rid of the degenrate brush.
After going through a few more brushes on the list, I decided to compile my map again to see the list refreshed. The same number of degenerate brushes appeared again (except the ONLY one that I deleted), and they had different numbers.
I'm thinking that maybe when you delete a brush, the remaining brushes that follow in numeric labelling 'move down' a slot. So when I have two degenerate brushes (11 & 13), I find and delete number 11. My theory is that the former degenerate brush #13 is now #12, while the old #12 (which is obviously non-degenerate) is now #11.

Unless somebody can explain otherwise and clear things up, I recommend deleting the degenerate brushes from highest to lowest number. It helped me out. :)

Well, part of the creation process is learning. One thing you must learn is how to correct mistakes and errors. As easy as it might be to send the map to someone and have them fix it it would be cheating you out of being able to handle your own problems and giving you the ability to say "I did this". I'd much rather the ugliest piece of trash map be released by you when you could say without conflict "I did this by myself". Post the errors you're getting and I'm sure you'll get plenty of information to help you discover your mistakes and in turn learn how to avoid them in the future than.

Well, part of the creation process is learning. One thing you must learn is how to correct mistakes and errors. As easy as it might be to send the map to someone and have them fix it it would be cheating you out of being able to handle your own problems and giving you the ability to say "I did this". I'd much rather the ugliest piece of trash map be released by you when you could say without conflict "I did this by myself". Post the errors you're getting and I'm sure you'll get plenty of information to help you discover your mistakes and in turn learn how to avoid them in the future than.

(from hellstorm:) A leak is usually one of the following:

(a) an entity is placed in the void. This seems to include lights, with the exception of fogs (where a basicfog texture is applied to the light) and maybe a few other types.

(b) you have used a semi-transparent texture on a wall or floor that leads out into the void. Doom 3 seems to think certain non-transparent textures fall into this category, that can be a source of leaks.

(c) there is a hole in your walls that leads out into the void.

(d) Sometimes Doom 3 doesn't like entities being placed in particular areas, such as doors.

(e)entity or models whose origin point is buried in (structural) brushwork

Solution:

(a) Delete the entity, or place it in your map.
(b)Change the texture that you`ve used.
(c)Close the hole, for a little help you can use File>Pointfile, then you see a arrow. For more leaks use then Misc>Next Leak.
(d) In the most cases is deleting the entity the solution.
(e)check origin points and move away from brushwork where appropriate.

You can also put a box around your map, but that`s a very unofficial method, so it`s not recommended, use it if the Hole leaks can`t be solved or if Pointfile didn`t work.

got this error today when i tried to play my map, map compiled fine.

tracked it down to visportals in a large room, don't know why but i turned the portals and error went away. :?

portals where facing north - south

turned them west - east and whalaa

Yeah, you'll find that 'forcing' the portals to recalculate is often the simplest solution.

I feel as though I should add on a bit more to the part about the deleting of degenerate brush primitives. If you've got a list of degenerate brushes, deleting the highest numbered brush and working down to the lowest number may be better.

I made an observation when deleting my first degenerate brushes ever. Whenever I selected and deleted the brush, I input that same brush number, which then moves on to select a completely different brush. I deleted that one, thinking it was the degenerate brush, completely unaware that I already got rid of the degenrate brush.
After going through a few more brushes on the list, I decided to compile my map again to see the list refreshed. The same number of degenerate brushes appeared again (except the ONLY one that I deleted), and they had different numbers.
I'm thinking that maybe when you delete a brush, the remaining brushes that follow in numeric labelling 'move down' a slot. So when I have two degenerate brushes (11 & 13), I find and delete number 11. My theory is that the former degenerate brush #13 is now #12, while the old #12 (which is obviously non-degenerate) is now #11.

Unless somebody can explain otherwise and clear things up, I recommend deleting the degenerate brushes from highest to lowest number. It helped me out. :)

Well, part of the creation process is learning. One thing you must learn is how to correct mistakes and errors. As easy as it might be to send the map to someone and have them fix it it would be cheating you out of being able to handle your own problems and giving you the ability to say "I did this". I'd much rather the ugliest piece of trash map be released by you when you could say without conflict "I did this by myself". Post the errors you're getting and I'm sure you'll get plenty of information to help you discover your mistakes and in turn learn how to avoid them in the future than.

Yeah, you'll find that 'forcing' the portals to recalculate is often the simplest solution.

I feel as though I should add on a bit more to the part about the deleting of degenerate brush primitives. If you've got a list of degenerate brushes, deleting the highest numbered brush and working down to the lowest number may be better.

I made an observation when deleting my first degenerate brushes ever. Whenever I selected and deleted the brush, I input that same brush number, which then moves on to select a completely different brush. I deleted that one, thinking it was the degenerate brush, completely unaware that I already got rid of the degenrate brush.
After going through a few more brushes on the list, I decided to compile my map again to see the list refreshed. The same number of degenerate brushes appeared again (except the ONLY one that I deleted), and they had different numbers.
I'm thinking that maybe when you delete a brush, the remaining brushes that follow in numeric labelling 'move down' a slot. So when I have two degenerate brushes (11 & 13), I find and delete number 11. My theory is that the former degenerate brush #13 is now #12, while the old #12 (which is obviously non-degenerate) is now #11.

Unless somebody can explain otherwise and clear things up, I recommend deleting the degenerate brushes from highest to lowest number. It helped me out. :)

Well, part of the creation process is learning. One thing you must learn is how to correct mistakes and errors. As easy as it might be to send the map to someone and have them fix it it would be cheating you out of being able to handle your own problems and giving you the ability to say "I did this". I'd much rather the ugliest piece of trash map be released by you when you could say without conflict "I did this by myself". Post the errors you're getting and I'm sure you'll get plenty of information to help you discover your mistakes and in turn learn how to avoid them in the future than.

As easy as it might be to send the map to someone and have them fix it it would be cheating you out of being able to handle your own problems and giving you the ability to say "I did this". I'd much rather the ugliest piece of trash map be released by you when you could say without conflict "I did this by myself". Post the errors you're getting and I'm sure you'll get plenty of information to help you discover your mistakes and in turn learn how to avoid them in the future than.

(from hellstorm:) A leak is usually one of the following:

(a) an entity is placed in the void. This seems to include lights, with the exception of fogs (where a basicfog texture is applied to the light) and maybe a few other types.

(b) you have used a semi-transparent texture on a wall or floor that leads out into the void. Doom 3 seems to think certain non-transparent textures fall into this category, that can be a source of leaks.

(c) there is a hole in your walls that leads out into the void.

(d) Sometimes Doom 3 doesn't like entities being placed in particular areas, such as doors.

(e)entity or models whose origin point is buried in (structural) brushwork

Solution:
Quote:
(a) Delete the entity, or place it in your map.
(b)Change the texture that you`ve used.
(c)Close the hole, for a little help you can use File>Pointfile, then you see a arrow. For more leaks use then Misc>Next Leak.
(d) In the most cases is deleting the entity the solution.
(e)check origin points and move away from brushwork where appropriate.

You can also put a box around your map, but that`s a very unofficial method, so it`s not recommended, use it if the Hole leaks can`t be solved or if Pointfile didn`t work.

ERROR: i >= MAX_REACH_PER_AREA

got this error today when i tried to play my map, map compiled fine.

tracked it down to visportals in a large room, don't know why but i turned the portals and error went away. :?

portals where facing north - south

turned them west - east and whalaa

Yeah, you'll find that 'forcing' the portals to recalculate is often the simplest solution.

Solution
First, go to the Misc menu, then Find Brush.. , type the number of the entity and the brush primitive, and hit OK, that brush will be now selected, it doesn't matter if you can't see it, just hit backspace to delete it, and do the same process for all your degenerated brushes. (I got this warning just after adding a monster)

In my map, some of this degenerated brushes were large ones, so I just delete and create them again.

I feel as though I should add on a bit more to the part about the deleting of degenerate brush primitives. If you've got a list of degenerate brushes, deleting the highest numbered brush and working down to the lowest number may be better.

I made an observation when deleting my first degenerate brushes ever. Whenever I selected and deleted the brush, I input that same brush number, which then moves on to select a completely different brush. I deleted that one, thinking it was the degenerate brush, completely unaware that I already got rid of the degenrate brush.
After going through a few more brushes on the list, I decided to compile my map again to see the list refreshed. The same number of degenerate brushes appeared again (except the ONLY one that I deleted), and they had different numbers.
I'm thinking that maybe when you delete a brush, the remaining brushes that follow in numeric labelling 'move down' a slot. So when I have two degenerate brushes (11 & 13), I find and delete number 11. My theory is that the former degenerate brush #13 is now #12, while the old #12 (which is obviously non-degenerate) is now #11.

Unless somebody can explain otherwise and clear things up, I recommend deleting the degenerate brushes from highest to lowest number. It helped me out. :)
