Non-sprite set to glow! Created 20 years ago2004-08-14 09:34:30 UTC by CombatGold1

Hello

For some reason, when playing my map everyone constantly gets spammed with "Non-sprite set to glow!" alough I can't remember setting anything to glow. What could this be?

It's annoying since it takes up CPU usage, plus we can't read console messages.

Uh... well, you're gunna just have to hunt for any entities set to rendermode glow.

Or, you could do this:

1. Open your map
2. In Hammer, File -> Export to .MAP
3. Locate the newly-created file and open it in Notepad or another plain-text editor (not Word, Wordpad, etc).

4. Edit -> Find (or program equivilent), and search for:

"rendermode" "3"

Just like that, quotes and all. That will skip to the first entity set to 'glow'. If you find, on the line below, a curly bracket {, then, on the next few lines, lots of co-ordinates, then you've found a brush-based entity. Remove the "rendermode" line and all will be fine and dandy (assuming you've only done it to that one brush).

If you're still stuck, e-mail me the RMF or upload it to the Map Vault

Could you look under map properties, and map errors or whatever its called and check for the error message.

i used that filter in the entity report - appears i had a piece of glass on glow

thanks for your help
