Would creating a large box around the map, say; a skybox work to fix all of the leaks?

sorry for all of the -1 :facepalm:

Slightly different error this time, and I'll re give the intro. I am creating a very large map for hl2, and I am very inexperienced but I have gotten very far.(And the due date is in a week- it's for school) So recently when I have been trying to compile it, it loads a previous version, not saving the changes I had clearly made, even errors that I had fixed still showed up in the compile log. I tried saving it to other names, but it gives me the ol' "file not found" error; which I have had a problem with for a while. Anyway, here's my compile log, I would like help with any other error you can see. Thanks for help in advance. Also I use a lot of fun_detail because my map has a lot of detailed pillars and railing, which are not props. ** Executing... ** Command: "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\saint_evening\sourcesdk\bin\ source2009\bin\vbsp.exe" ** Parameters: -game "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\saint_evening\half-life 2\hl2" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\saint_evening\sourcesdk_cont ent\hl2\mapsrc\yeh.vmf" Valve Software - vbsp.exe (Sep 15 2011) 4 threads materialPath: c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\saint_evening\half-life 2\hl2\materials Loading C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\saint_evening\sourcesdk_cont ent\hl2\mapsrc\yeh.vmf ConVarRef mat_reduceparticles doesn't point to an existing ConVar Could not locate 'GameData' key in c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\saint_evening\half-life 2\hl2\gameinfo.txt fixing up env_cubemap materials on brush sides...

Thanks for the help guys, also my SDK is working fine other than the occasional file not found error; which in that case I just save it as another name AND just recently this started: when I try to compile the map, Half Life 2 starts but the map doesn't open, even when i try to open it using console. It says its not a valid bsp file. May be just a noob mistake of mine.

I am creating a very large map for a project for school. I can't really release any pictures because I would get into a lot of trouble, all I can tell you is that its really big. It exceeds the number of unique verts that a BSP file can compile into; due to its size. I found the best way to remedy this is to split the building up into different maps, but I do not know how to load one map into another, like what is done in Half-Life or Portal. (I am making this map to run in Portal 1) Also there are very large hallways which would be problematic because you would be able to shoot a portal into an unloaded map, I think that the way to solve this is to created an emancipation grid before every loading place. How would I go about importing an emancipation grid? tl;dr How to split Hammer map into diff maps and connect them using loading screens? How to make emancipation grids in Hammer editor? Thanks in advance

Okay I'll make sure to familiarize my self better with the rules, and follow them more strictly. I mostly go on RPG surf, and I don't see either diabeetus or McNeo on RPG Surf at all, so that may explain my absence. "and occasionally jailbreak" __________________________________________ Also having school so I may not be on as often from this point on.

Yes I was werewolf, and thanks for the +1s guys; really appreciate it.

When I first started playing on the servers my name was Saintevening, at one point it was No Face and later on Goku. In between those names I changed a lot too, just none worth mentioning due to the fact that I didn't stay as them for a long amount of time.

Hey, I've been playing on xG servers for ~2 years, getting off and on due to small life problems and whatnot. I most commonly play on Rpg Surf and occasionally jailbreak. I've change my name many, many times so I doubt I have left an imprint on anybody; but I do know a few members, and I find the community very friendly and would love to be a part of it. __________________________________________________________
