HavocPB

I'm not even going to waste my time with this. I had a look, and it's terribly made. If I was going to bother fixing it, then I would start again from scratch. The problems with this "map" are very basic stuff. For a start it's fullbright, and there are no cubemaps.

The map doesn't take that long to compile (about 30 seconds on my ultra-pc), but when you consider that it's ONE ROOM, it takes FAR TOO LONG. Your brushwork is terrible, and if you made a big map like this, you'd spend entire days waiting for it to compile.

Tear it down and start again.

Well, with me, I just added a few lights and ran 'rad'
Then they where normal,

See if that helps

ok playbus obviously im not done with this map. and when u said that the problem with this map is that there are no cubemaps i kno that and thats what i needed help on if u would read the forums. thanks

I didn't just say that the only problem with this map is cubemaps.....if you read my post I said that practically everything is wrong.......there is nothing done right......I could make a huge list of all the embarrassing things you've done, but that would just be cruel wouldn't it?

I think your being cruel enough as it is...

Ok sorry. I was in a bad mood. The answer to the problem of the reflections is :- there were no lights in the map. Put some lights in and run RAD, and it looks fine. What slasher said earlier.

I have the same problem on my PC with all movable objects (including in-game) in HL2, they look bright then look normal when they are moving or you hit them, floating objects flash bright and then dark as they bob up and down in the water. I thought it was just my PC as it has a crappy graphics card (only 64 megs) and the game lags really bad. I would advise you to update your hardware/drivers unless someone with a fast PC has the same problem...

I don't think your map - crappy or not - is the problem.

I don't think that problem is a problem, I think that is normal behavior...
