The brushes around them :/

A map I'm working on for my zombie Gamemode. My first Hammer map, please criticize it because I'm probably doing something wrong.

Add some light.

[Tom]

I was gonna wait till I'm mostly done, but would you recommend doing lighting earlier?

That toxic texture is hideous

That toxic texture is hideous

Yeah, but it's the same one that Hl2 uses.
I think it will look a little better once I add a cubemap so It reflects stuff.

The buildings look nice

Yes.

So I changed the water texture and the water stopped rendering. I tried everything it said here http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Adding_Water but it still isn't rendering. It only renders the splash effects. (yes, I did make sure every over side had nodraw)

Type "buildcubemaps" into the console, sometimes cubemaps do funky things and don't work correctly from the start.

[MasterBlockMan]

I like your map, Tom.

Tried that. I've just gave up in water for now and went back to toxic waste.

The lack of dynamic lighting in the map suggests a leak, has the displacement the water is in got a brush beneath it? Displacements do not plug leaks, you need a brush beneath them.

There is a brush underneath it, but I don't think it's sealing of the whole thing. Apparently the cordon box is sealing all leaks, but I'll compile it and check the log to see if any leaks so up.
