Alternatively, select all the trigger_teleports in your map, and use the Tools->Center origins menu item, which will move their origins back to the centre of the brushes. In case you don't know, if you turn on the "Show helpers" toolbar button (looks like a little wireframe sphere), then you'll be able to see where a brush entity's origin is in the 2d/3d views when the entity is selected; and drag the origin in the 2d views to move it. In any case, Major, what you are seeing with the skybox *is* symptomatic of a leak. Check your bsp compile log, I expect it'll still have the dreaded words "***** leaked ****" in it. Go through the process of identifying and correctly resolving the leaks (e.g. moving the origin of a leaking brush entity instead of adding extra skybox around it), and I'm sure you'll find the skybox issue goes away. Again, you probably already know this, but when resolving leaks, do your compiles with BSP set to Normal, and VIS and RAD turned off, and have "Don't launch the game after compiling" checked. Your compiles will then take practically no time while you track down leaks. On Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 7:00 PM, Kenneth B. Swisher <[email protected]> wrote: > It's definitely an odd scenario.

After running vbsp, if there's a leak, go to Map->Load pointfile, and say Yes to using the default pointfile. That'll draw a red line from the origin of the leaking entity out to somewhere in the void. --VFIG. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlmappers
