I need RAD to bounce light more times than the default 5 to brighten up my map a bit, but since there aren't any Source batch compilers out right now I need to use the command line. But I don't know the command.

Apparently it says on here the default is 100 bounces. But either way you can still try playing with it. Looks like the command is:
-bounce 120
or whatever number you want.

It doesn't bounce 100 times, that's an error. 10 seems to get me the light levels I want, thanks.

While I'm at it, can anyone explain what's going on here?

^That's not a cubemap error. Ingame, it looks like plane fighting,but that's the only brush there, and all the sides are nodrawed except for the one facing the player.

Btw, default value is 100 (realy; but you need a bright(close to white) texture & bright light to have more than 5-8 bounces- see compile log).

On screenshot - looks like in this texture vmt param "$envmapcontrast" is mad. Or texture just reflecs cubemap, what located inside bright room.
