Hi guys. Here's my problem. Ive been mapping for a half life 1 mod i'm working on and it's been going fine till now. My first compile for testing was good, my lighting was correct and had no problems. I then continued to work on the map, adding models, a vent, transparent textures (which don't even show up ingame, sadly.) etc. Since then, everytime I compile to test my map it runs on fullbright, no lights, no shadows, just ugly. Ive researched the problem for a while now and the only answers i found were 'leaks'and problems with the map. Before compiling, i check for problems and none are found. (alt+p ofcourse) While compiling, there are no mentions of any leaks and i'm pretty sure there are none.

Ive even tried compiling with full vis and -maxlight parameter. (set to -1 for hlrad, im making a dark map with light_spot entities) So i honestly have no idea what is wrong and really need this problem fixed.

All help is greatly appreciated :) And sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, ive just signed up looking for help :)

You're in the right place, could you give us the entire compile log? that would speed things up.

I don't know if this is relevant, but I have occasionally had compile errors as a result of my maps having long filenames (I believe - in most of the cases where this happens the file name is quite long). Seeing as your map is called 'supermarket_normal', this may be the case. Usually the problem manifests for me as the map suddenly deciding on the nth compile that it won't actually compile any changes, but it might be causing this. Try renaming the file and see if that works.

Apologies for only skimming over the compile logs, my brain isn't functioning to full capacity at the moment due to tiredness.

Thanks,I'll try that right now and see if it works.
Posted 11 years ago2012-11-01 16:38:22 UTC Post #310711
From the log you posted, it looks like you're compiling your map twice, all tools, CSG, BSP, VIS and RAD seem to run twice, but you're passing an invalid parameter (-maxlight -1) to rad when it runs for the second time, causing it to fail and thus making your map fullbright.

How are you compiling your map? Do you use Hammer to compile or do you use a front end? Also, the tools you're using are quite old. Look up VHLT on the SvenCoop forums to get the latest and best tools for GoldSource.

The logs i posted were two seperate compiles. The first was yesterday (i think) and the second this morning (the one with the invalid parameter.) I thought adding the parameter would make a difference but it didn't. So no im not compiling my map twice :) but the problem still persists, i just tried compiling it with a shorter name (renamed it to "smarket", maybe wasn't short enough?) but still ran at fullbright.
I am using Hammer to compile with zhlt. I'll check vhlt in a sec.

Just copy the files into a folder, and change vhe or your front end's paths to the vhlt exe's, there is an extra .txt file there that the tools take settings from so don't forget to edit that, you have to set the location of your .wad's.

-maxlight "-1" should work , the sign specifies a parameter so it thinks -1 is a new parameter not the option for the -maxlight.
