model skin problem. Created 17 years ago2007-09-06 13:33:58 UTC by Skals

look at this:a strange problem, model skins going all wierd... i get this sometimes in few small maps like iceworld or poolday...

is it a problem with my computer or the map? and how to fix it?

What's the skin value?
What's the model name?

...uhh... well i dont atcually set up the value of the players hands... uh...

ooooooooooooooooh.
The hands, I thought you ment that thing on the floor which also looks weird.

I'd say that's due to crappy lightning and lack of cubemaps.

1st, the map looks fullbright. 2nd, Madcow might be right about the cubemaps, if so, just add a cubemap in and type "buildcubemaps" into the console.

Probably lack of cubemaps but even so the effect looks like Source was forced to run on DX6...

kk thnx... well at least now we know what full bright bugs are.

It's actually a lighting effect. No lighting = no lighting colour effects on models Do you notice how it will blend between red-blue-green the most, the basic colours? The models are not receiving lighting data because there is none so it attempts to create one, with wacky results. Just compile it with lighting and this is fixed, however, you still need the cubemaps for the correct lighting affect to apply.

small maps like iceworld or poolday..

Tee-hee.
