Check if there is an entity (btw: everything else than brushes are entities) outside the map.

If your map leaks, it won't generate a .prt file.  You need to fix the leak(s) in your map.

[ip0d]

oh i when i went to fix the leaks it did not do anything i went to
File leak check then i loaded cliked my mapname then it did nothing
then idid: Brush leak search and it showed nothing

BSP can help you find leaks with "File|Leak Check|Load (.pts)...

mine says File|leakcheck|load.(por)..

[jitspoe]

It should show a 3D line that goes from the nearest entity to the hole in your map.

i made this vid looking for the 3d leak thing and i found it but the last leak i cant fix for sum reason. And in the vid i showed the portal couldnt read thing

TIP: Press hide world when looking for leaks, makes things much faster.

You can send the map file for me if you want. I can fix the leak if you can't fix it.

[ip0d]

well i fixed the leaks now and i have a PRT file and it still spawns random

[jitspoe]

well i fixed the leaks now and i have a PRT file and it still spawns random

What do you mean by "spawns random?"  Do you have "teamnumber" set on your "info_player_deathmatch" entities?

[ip0d]
