Well i continued mapping after a long break. for the first try i wanted to creat a really simple map and have a look on it in dod, though the map is realy small i get an compiling error and hl crashes when i try to load the map.
can somone have a look and tell me where the bug is?

info:
-just a "house" meaning 6 blocks and some spwanpoints ;)
-i compiled with warhammer 3.5 and zhlt

thx in advance

post the compile .log . The rmf doesn't clear things up. I think your compiler aint set up right.

Warning: === LEAK in hull 0 ===
Entity info_player_observer @ (-624,-464,-176)
Error:
A LEAK is a hole in the map, where the inside of it is exposed to the
(unwanted) outside region. The entity listed in the error is just a helpful
indication of where the beginning of the leak pointfile starts, so the
beginning of the line can be quickly found and traced to until reaching the
outside. Unless this entity is accidentally on the outside of the map, it
probably should not be deleted. Some complex rotating objects entities need
their origins outside the map. To deal with these, just enclose the origin
brush with a solid world brush

see: http://www.slackiller.com/tommy14/errors.htm#leak

That and make sure you work your way through the mapping FAQ's...there are a lot of answers in there for some of the basic and not-so-basic compiling errors

the prob is :

zhlt says the leak is in/near the spawnpoints->
1. these points ar in the map
2. even if i create a big block around the points the error appears

Just as the compiler says, the entity listed is just a reference point, it doesn't mean that's where the leak is. You should read up on leaks and how to use the pointfile. The new Hammer supports loading in the pointfile and viewing it in the 3-D window, which is a godsend.

ok thx

in the rmf I downloaded you didn't even have a sky box.
