what cant you find? the lights you put or what? just remove the lights and try not to make them above the sky,better make them distanced from other objects at all |

| | rebuild all of your entities if it says its cycler_sprite then its probably some mdl you use that goes through wall or sky or another entity |

| | load point file and follow the lines (leakmarker, bspviewer or even in cs)
there is no easy way... I prefer to cover some areas with one big brush where could be a leak and fast compile (bsp+csg only) and look if the area leak is fixed, until i find the area |

| | Why don't just go back on what you have done lately since the last no leak compile and check the corners and so on.
And the entity reference I find them pointless had a BIG leak on my recent map (forgot to add a block and was like 512x512 leak size, and the log pointed to some ambient_generic entity which was in the damn other side of map, and had nothing to do with the leak, not even on same lines with coordinates.
Edit: .pts file (Point file) and Leak Marker were always useless for me, always found the leak (I had like 10 in all my mapping years and all of them I've found them through the thing I've said early, go back on what you've done lately and check the corners, could use the option "Snap to grid" I always map with that one, disable only when I need to make some other sizes. |

| | Yeah i do the exact same thing i always look around first but that's just it i've done so much to the map since the last time i've compiled it with no leaks so i don't know exactly where to search but.. i will check again
If i don't find it and make the map with a large block (sky) Hallow what's the worst that can happend ? |

| | If you compile with a skybox all around the map, you might experience bad fps in your map. |

| | texture doesnt even matter. Once you will put a big brush around a whole room or area - this brush will block all possible leaks thats inside (even if there are entities inside), just like cement gets into all cracks and fills them up. By fast-compiling you will be able to know if the leak is in that place.
First you can cover whole rooms with a brush, then when you determine what room has the leak you can cover just some particular areas like walls, ground etc. |
