Can anyone explain to me, why is vis halting and how can i find the brush that is causing this problem...?

Thanks for the code:) that did it:)

)

Can anyone tell me how do you make custom transparent textures with the Source Engine.. I tried with black or white color over the edges i want to be transparent but it didnt work!

Thanks in advance!

Hm, half of the problem was that i didnt build the cubemaps properly.
I did it again, but they are still just too "shiny".. the other "original" textures arent like that way, just mine custom textures.. i know there is something you have to put in the *.vmt but i couldnt find any solution in google..

Well ill try looking=)

here is a screenshot:fullscreen: http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/3497/cubemaps2.jpg

EDIT: i think i fixed it now, you just have to block all the "reflecting" with a grayscale texture where the black isnt reflected and the white is.. and you put that as a mask to your custom texture...

if someone needs help with this here:
http://forum.interlopers.net/viewtopic.php?t=3234

Thanks anyways

yes i have build the cubemaps... still
The textures work perfectly without cubemaps..

the textures are with:

LightmappedGeneric
{
$basetexture <nameoftexture>
$envmap env_cubemap
$surfaceprop <material>
}

If this is wrong or if i have to put something else, be my guest:)

Thanks for the comment!

Hello there, ive been mapping for a long time on hl1, but now i've switched to source, im making a big map, trying to recreate a building from my town "a gym with the whole building "toilets,restrooms,halls..etc."

Im using alot of custom textures.
When i put an env_cubemap in one of my rooms, my custom textures begin to reflect the "sky" but as a very blurry mirror, and when there isnt any light i cant see the textures at all.. they look like a, very shiny smelted iron object... I dont know why is this happening, and i would be happy if i find a solution here.. thanks.. here is a screenshot

Not to kill your spirit, But welcome to Game Development

Yeah, i understood that years ago, but this is just wierd.. my plan was to import detailed textures, and scale them down to look more "detailed" and they did, because i wanted to make "1:1" with the real "structures".. and it did look quite good, but these problems are just wierd, ill try some more "resizing" to see if it will do the trick, then im going to switch to source.

As for the engine switch, you can import your current map into source quite easily.

you'll have to re-do a lot of the entitys, and ALL the texturing, but at least you wont have to do all the brushwork over again.

Just save the map in hammer 3.x and open the VMF in 4.0
Should direclty import.

Thanks, quite easy, the re-texturing and re-working on the entities is not a problem at all

Thanks The Mighty Atom for the help, and all you for taking your time to help.

I wanted to recreate a part of my town here on a map, i was very exited in the beggining, but now, i get so many errors from valve hammer editor, and i am a bit dissapointed to continue. I spend 1 month working on this map, where 70% of the time is wondering how to fix stupid errors.

First the RAD thing with the leaks, fixed the leaks, rad runs but its full light again. Then imported my own textures, the textures were to detailed for the stupid engine to control, and i got "allocbloc:full" error.. I resized the Textures to be much more smaller, now i get an "Bad Surface Extents", because the textures are too streched, but they are not.. Well, detailed textures dont work, small textures dont work, i dont know why the hell i am trying when i spend 70% of the time wondering about stupid errors..

Maybe i should've started this project on the Source SDK instead of the stupid old engine which doesnt handle neither small/big/detailed/not-detailed textures.. I am so dissapointed..

I get this when i try to compile:

i have .net frameworks 3.5 on win7

Thanks anyways, i am still trying to fix the leak,

Thanks for the replies and the help! if someone have another idea, i am open;) Thanks again!

I cant get these front end compilers, cant configure them... always some errors..

Darkie, how do you scan pointfile in HL, will be really usefull if you could help me, i dont know why valve hammer isnt generating one...

I dont have any models imported, or prefabs, olny a trashcan and a desk deleted them but the problem persists..

Why doesnt it generate me a pointfile so i can see where this leak is..

I dont see anywhere a *.lin or *.pts file generated in my map directories..
only *.map , *.err , *.map , *.p0 , *.p1 etc...

ive looked everywhere for a leak but couldnt find, everything is sealed..

Strange i havent encountered a problem like this and ive been modding since years...

Hello there!
I've searched on how to fix this for days now, and couldnt find any solution, and i am confused what is causing this in zoners tools super or 3.4, and why is it working with some warnings on the original compile tools.

This may be harmless, and if no strange side effects are occurring, then
it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange
or obscure errors, consider this as suspect.

A LEAK is a hole in the map, where the inside of it is exposed to the

indication of where the beginning of the leak pointfile starts, so the

probably should not be deleted. Some complex rotating objects entities need
their origins outside the map. To deal with these, just enclose the origin

why is HLRAD giving me - >> There was a problem compiling the map., and then my map is all lighted up and laggy and ugly.
If i compile my map with the original tools, i dont get this, i get max_map_midtex, but qrad works and gives my map my lights..

I am very sorry if i havent searched more, but i spend countless hours on this ...

Will be very greatfull if you give me a solution!
Thank you very much in advance!!
