Fullbright Map Created 16 years ago2008-02-06 21:23:10 UTC by naserve

Hi, when I compile my map using ZHLT Compile GUI X? everything goes fine. Then when I start my map in half life it is fullbright. I tried turning lighting brightness down, didn't work. So then I removed all lights. Didn't work. Any ideas?

Post a compile log so we can get a better idea as to where the problem may be. RAD tends not to run if there is a major problem with one of the other programs.

There's your problem. Entities can't be placed outside the map in the 'void'. Absolutely everything needs to be, in some way, enclosed by brushes for a compile to go smoothly.

I deleted barney and it's still fullbright!

Perhaps you have a leak somewhere and barney was simply near it?

My pointfile shows all sorts of lines which run right into brushes, you can not see the void along the lines it shows

EDIt: just created a giant box around the map so even if there was a leak it wouldn't reach the void, and still fullbright

Another thing to note is that Zoner's Tools use fullbright if there are no lights in your map at all.

zomg, thats it

Thanks for helping me make this work

fix the leak - a big box around the map causes lag like nothing else. also, new version of ZHLT http://zhlt.info

I know it adds lag but I can't find the leak, the point file doesn't even head toward an actual leak.

And I tried that, the 32bit download link is broken.

See my post, 7 different way of finding leaks here
