Im working on my first map and has been going very smoothly so far but i got to a point where when i try to load the map it quits out of the server right after it connect. This is happening when i click the [File] Run Map button please help

Just start a new server with that map after it happens. You normaly should turn off the auto run the map when you compile and start TF2 and the map yourself. It usualy works better.

I'm no mapper, but it sounds like maybe theres a leak or error of some sort that's preventing the map from loading. I'd double check your map.

Theres your problem.

Also, I'm not sure about this;

Brush 876: no visible sides on brush
Brush 876: no visible sides on brush
Brush 876: no visible sides on brush


My advice would be to wait until crazypip or lost see this thread.

How long does it last? a minute? I had this with css just run the map wait till its exited, then you're back at menu, then create a new server, with you're map, then play and test it??

Too Close?
You have a leak and an object that has no visible sides. This causes your map to fail, always. Just delete the dispensers and redo them. I'm not sure how to fix the brush problem.

You have a leak. Go to map>load pointfile to load your pointfile. This will create a red line going from the entity nearest the leak through the leak and out into the void. Figure out what you need to do to seal it, unload the pointfile and recompile your map. Now reload the pointfile and repeat the process until it doesn't ask you if you want to load the default pointfile but instead takes you to a screen where you need to pick a file to load yourself. At that point you can say cancel, and you have sealed the leak. Remember, the leak will not be fixed by removing the entity that the pointfile starts at, that is simply the entity closest to the leak. In this case, you have a prop which extends outside of your map.
