post ur log file, most likely you will have this error...

Warning: No entities exist in hull 0, no filling performed for this hull
Warning: No entities exist in hull 1, no filling performed for this hull
Warning: No entities exist in hull 2, no filling performed for this hull
Warning: No entities exist in hull 3, no filling performed for this hull

Just check you have all your entites, like Player Spawns and a Light. They cant be touching the ground or be in a wall so keep them in the air.

I think its a leak (didnt check map)

Either that, or you have a player start point/light entity touching one of the sides of the boxes. Double check that nothing is touching the box, and that the box is 100% sealed.

More likely the issue here is that these brushes have gone very odd; some vertices are missing from them and are therefore... wrong. See the "Plane with no normal" truck (it's a little bit down in the list) truck for informations on what to do (that might be start again).

Look at the truck called "plane with no normal". It will have the information you need.

Your problem might be that your Wall have the AATRIGGER texture on them, change that to a the 'sky' or something else and see if that deletes some problems, and btw, pretty nice map for a test

oh and ur Walls, have to be made of 6 Brushes, you cant make one box, make it hollow and put ur map in there like you did. Correct me if im wrong rodeo, or someone.

nvm, its not hollow, LMAO, ok so what he did was put his map INSIDE a SOLID block

ok so this is what u need to do/fix.

1.) Delete the solid block your map is in and put 6 brushes around your map.

2.) Delete the 'Light' You have and put a 'Light_environment' Entity

3.) Add some weapons if u want with the 'game_player_equip' Entity

4.) Maybe add some blocks so ur players cant spawn kill, cuz they spawn right in front of each other

5.) Fix the wall thats on T Side cuz u can get stuck when u go up the ramp.

try searching for very long or very strange shapes in your map ..
the "brush outside world " error means that the mentioned brushes are at the edge of your mapspace ( the place that has lines ) .

your map must not be outside that space , or even very close to that space

you mite have some kind of crazy brushes , probably a result of vertex manipulation , or carving with a complex shape ...


you have 3 separate errors .. 1 plane with no normal

2 brushes outside world

3 coplanar plane

Just make the floor thicker, its to thin. i compiled it all and it worked good after i made the floor thicker but still had 1 error. Im not sure what this one is though....But u compile it and see if u have it. You can still play the map with the error though.

I think as begginer said you probably need to delete the brush that is screwing up.

Your texture scaling is awful, it could be whats causing the bad surface extents error.

To fix:

1. Edit-->Select All
2. With everything selected press on "Toggle Texture application"-button to the left in Hammer.
3. Under "Scale:", at "X:" write in 1 and press enter. Do the same for "Y:".
