You have some weird stuff going on.

for one, hlvis doesn't appear to be run during your compile. Notice the warning "..no vis information.."

Also, it appears you have duplicate entries in your lights.rad file. I suggest cleaning that up, at a minimum.

You using Hammer to compile or batch file or..? Take a look to see where you've missed running hlvis.

well i have turned off VVis for my other map so i might have forgotted to turn it on on this map...duplicate entries you meen things that have the same name and diffrent numbers? ill clean it later then and i compile with Hammer ZHLT

Just from years of experience, I'd suggest cleaning up things until you get no compile errors. Besides, it'll take maybe 1 minute to fix.

You think you have texlight problems and you're getting warnings about your texlights file. Something ring a bell here? Hmm? :

Also, funny things can happen if you have a brush that overlaps at all with a brush with a texlight texture applied.

Also, you can't have a texlight texture applied to an entity and expect normal lighting.

Just things to check.

ah thank you so much its fixed now and its lightning normal again but i have another question i have setted a monster_tentacle in my map and made it do a scripted_sequence once that sequence has ended no matter how much sound i do the tentacle dont come up...why? do i need to put it up higher or something

Ser att du ?r fr?n Sverige

ja hehe i have another problem i set up a aiscripted_sequence and set the animation etc but the monster only preforms it once even tho in the model viewer it shows that its a idle animation is there any solution to this?

For this use a scripted_seaquance and write the name of the idle animation in the idle animation value! To make the monster do another animation afterward turn off this animation and after 0.1 secounds(not shorter) make it do another!
