Problem with Gel
Ok it was a mistake sorry for that i only use hammer and i observed that but i'm new to hammer so all i say is supposition due to observations, but i still thinking using env_cubemap is a good way to stop the problem with gels. i stopped mine with it =)
Gels and cubemaps have nothing in common, other than the gel splatter uses them for it's reflections. Gels require both the "Map has paint" setting, and lighting (with no leaks). That's it.

A got more problems 
I have made a simple map (just a box with four walls, one floor and one roof...). I cant see any leak! And there is no .lin file created when I run the map.
But still the log file says:
fixing up env_cubemap materials on brush sides...
0...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10**** leaked ****
It doesn?t matter what I do... it always seems to leak. Have anyone idea what I might be doing wrong here?
If any of your brushes are tied to an entity, some let light go through them. For example: func_detail can't seal a map. Also if you have an area_portal that isn't sealed tight, it can leak in a different way. If you have an entity outside your map it will leak, or if you happen to have a light floating outside it it will leak. None of these may be the issue, but this is what has happened to me before.
Edit: No idea about the lin. file. BTW, Nodraw can seal a map too, but it sometimes looks trippy if put in the wrong places.

Can you post your source vmf?
I am only using func_detail. If that doesnt seal a map, what else can I use?

Here is the source vmf:
1. Func_details should only be used on blocks that do not contribute to the physical structure of the map
2. Every block that touches the 'void' should be a World brush in order to 'seal' what is inside. Select all your brushes that touch outside your map and click the 'To World' button to the right.
3. I think they were asking you to upload your .vmf somewhere and then post a link to dl it. By posting the whole of your code you wasted around 4 pages of scrolling.
4. A map will constantly say it leaks if there is no lights inside the map. Please place an light entity and it will remove the error.
Read this article on when and how to use func_detail.
Also, you can post VMFs as post attachments.
Please do not Private Message me for assistance. Post a thread if you have questions or concerns.

I havent had time to work on this. But thx for the help, I will check this out soon
