] building_cubemaps 1
] buildcubemaps
maps/Tycell_british_operation_subway_a1 is not writable!!! Check it out before running buildcubemaps.

This is a direct quote from my console in game when I try to build cube maps for my SP HL2 EP2 map.

I have no idea why it does this. I have searched the map for leaks but can find none. Anyone got any ideas why I cant build cube maps?

No errors, everything's compiled fine. I'm compiling with HDR and I noticed that when I activate "building_cubemaps 1" the HDR (in game) turns off, could this be part of the problem?

My only other thought is that it could be a leak (although leaks have never stopped me building cube maps before). I've looked the map over and searched for a point file but there was none (hence no leaks AFAIK).

I'm stumped on this one guys.

Although I did hear once that you should compile, build cube maps and then compile again with HDR on. Could this be the way foward?

Is the bsp file itself actually read only? See what happens when you disable that.

The only other time I've seen someone come across the is not writable!!! Check it out before running buildcubemaps error is when they were trying to build the cubemaps without actually having the map open. I doubt you're that silly so this is an odd one...

Are all three exclamation points in the error message REALLY necessary, Valve? Really?
