I still haven't got my cubemaps to work
Here is the error once again for you who don't know what's the case

Those missing textures, can I make them my self as empty files?
Since last time I whined about this, I've completely removed and reinstalled steam, just to rule out me having fucked up something
And that "No render states in shader "LightmappedGeneric_NoBump_DX8" error, somebody must have had the same experience!
Anyhow if one of you guy's would be so kind as to send me a copy of "__gui texture 0.vtf" to nemathuske@msn.com I will bounce like a happy little baby

"__gui texture 0.vtf

Is that with the line?

I'm searching anyway and will send right away

Thanks a mill , but the line? Do you mean the double underscore "__" ?
I copied the name from the console!

Im having the same problem. How Would I fix this?

Um, it's a standard engine error I think.

Run with high-detailed shaders and your cubemaps are more noticeable.

OK RabidMonkey777 that's a suggestion, you only forgot the "how" part

BTW. I can't get the "impulse 81" command to work either, it gives me this error
] impulse 81
Error reading weapon data file for: weapon_cubemap
Error reading weapon data file for: weapon_cubemap

AND! in addition to the missing "__gui texture 0.vtf" now it also needs "__gui texture 1.vtf"

Telling ya, I'm about to go MAD

Turn the shader detail to "high" in your Options.

It sounds as though you need to reinstall the beast!

Dude, _gui texture isn't a standard HL2 texture :/ - I think it's just some stuff VALVe removed in the latest update - I also get loads of missing dmc, hl, opfor, etc textures when I run CS:S and it's not a problem, as this is not the texture used for the cubemap. (Cubemaps actually are textures which are built into the BSP when one runs the command.)

Run impulse 81 and you should get an empty SMG1 with an alternate icon. Those are the EnvBalls.

: But "impulse 81" doesn?t work (look 4 posts up)
And I did just reinstall, last weekend!

The only good thing so far, is that breakable_surf works now

Whats your computer specs?

I get a weapon error as well, but it still loads the EnvBalls. Try running it twice and check your weapons.

my computer specs:

P4 northwood2 2.53Ghz @ 2.79Ghz
1024Mb ddr 3200 ram
Geforce FX5900 xt 128Mb ram (supports DX 9.0)

enough info I guess...

Well I have no idea why but I notice that some game installations go wrong for odd reasons and usually all you need to do is fix them.

I noticed that firefox affects it sometimes!
