Compiled w/ BSP & Rad - Map Fullbright Created 17 years ago2007-01-30 01:14:30 UTC by Rory

No compile log, but I checked it for errors and leaks - No leaks and no errors.

Anyone know why it's fullbright? RAD is for lights and such, vis is for detail - I didn't run VIS because it crashes on "2..."

So if RAD ran alright, why's it still fullbright?

[EDIT]
OK I'm just going to stop posting now.. It seems GMod automatically starts with mat_fullbright 1

However the walls sometimes go pitch black, is this because I didn't run VIS?

You have to run VIS because it provides a lot of information for RAD to work with. (At least thats the way I understand it.)

Otherwise have you got any envmaps set up? And have you prompted the game to 'build' them if you have?

(i.e. Console - type 'build_envmaps') <--I think. It usually comes up if you just type build.

build cubemaps, actually.

Ok I did that, but VIS stops at "0...1...2...3" on the second load (I think its portal something)

1. "models/props_c17/cashregister01a.mdl", which must be used on a dynamic entity (i.e. prop_physics).

-- Make the model in question a prop_dynamic, just dont make it move.. same difference, and your compile log wont whine.

2. type "mat_fullbright 0" into your consol

3. If its still screwed up, go up into hammers menus and go map>>load pointfile.. at that point, a red line should guide you as to where your leak is. (if its not under the map tab, load pointfiles is somewhere up there.. its there, trust me)

It's something that can be easily overlooked, but ensure that you have at least 1 light entity in the map. Lack of any light entities results in a fullbright map. I have no idea whether or not it can cause VIS to stop at "2.." but it's worth a try.

No vis information, direct lighting only.

RAD doesn't run properly without information from VIS. It does still have an effect though, so that would suggest a leak in the map, or as someone suggested earlier, no light entities (or cubemaps). Also,

Can't load skybox file skybox/sky_day01_01 to build the default cubemap!

That can't be too helpful.

VIS probably isn't crashing at 2.. I've never known the compile tools to crash (am I just lucky?). But if your map is even slightly complicated and you haven't optimized it (something which can be tricky to do well) this can cause VIS to take many hours to run.
