Full brightness Created 19 years ago2005-07-24 11:38:24 UTC by Warrior

I can't get this any more...my map keeps being full bright...here is my compile log. For extra information I have put worldspawn def. light level to 50. Also I have added extra light entities in a place where they dont bother me.

All looks fine to me. You sure it's fullbright and not just badly lit? Also, why did you change the default light level?

Nothing seemed to work so I added lights and when that did not work I took them off. Then I changed the world spawn. AND NOTHING WORKS
So it cannot be neither worldspawn's nor too many light entity's fault :

Agreed, no errors in the compile log, do you see any shadows when walking in your map?

Nope

You tryed using a batch compiler?

I already found the error, it dindt copy the map.bsp to your hl directory, make sure this is set-up right in your compiler/hammer.

Lower the defualt light level to 0 then lets see how it looks!

It makes the .bsp in my hammer/maps directory and then I copy it to Mod/maps directory.

It doesn't work if I set it on 0 or anything else

And I tried to use batch compile

Then my best guess would be that your tools are damaged, delete the zhlt zip and files and redownload them.

Heh that's what i was about to suggest. And if that is the problem, then do a quick virus scan, cuz that's the only thing i can think of that coulda done that.

And nice to see your still here pepper, if i recall, didn't you leave(A few years back)? I'm not sure maybe it was someone else.

Year ago yes, been here for a few months already i geuss. Aint visiting as much as i did before though. Got to much other things.

I would strongly advise you not to delete your zhlt tools. If you can compile other maps without any problem, it's probably not corrupt tools.

If you have sky texture in your map and no lights, you'll get full brightness everywhere. Could that be the problem?

Here, post the map, and i'll take a look at it.

just make a box map... if it compiles and plays fine, it aint your tools
