Overlays turning dark Created 19 years ago2005-09-17 20:13:37 UTC by Kasperg

Some of you source mappers might have run into this problem:
I have some properly placed overlays in my map (tree leaves to be precise) that look perfectly normal until I run buildcubemaps. After that, some of them stay the same but others turn strangely dark. Since I'm using them over a displacement texture, I can't use decals to replace them.
Has anybody been able to solve this problem? (happens with other overlays too, like the trash one for example)

It does that on displacements and my only solution was to make that area slightly flat so the decal can fill it.

Thanks, that seems to solve the problem.
The bad part is that I cant have leaves on the floor and at the same time have a painted alpha in the grass blend texture...

Hm didn't know that :
Perhaps an angry email to Valve is in order

Glad to help a pro
