Props black for some reason. Need help. Created 18 years ago2006-04-27 17:38:56 UTC by Exos

I am making a DOD Source map and when I added these attic windows they turned all black. It is possibly because I put a black texture behind the windows so you couldn't see through them? I don't feel like deleting them because they were kinda annoying to vertex manip. to the windows shape. Also I don't think they are worth creating a vis group. So do you think what I said is the problem? Here is a screenshot of what it looks like.

Changing the extension of a file does not magically convert the format of the data.

I don't know what that means. File, meaning the model file? I need to know why it's black.

They're black props because their origin is most likely imbedded within a world brush or in a dark location. You can either move them or set a new lighting origin with an info_lighting which the props call.

Had nothing to do with your problem, but with the fake .png that really is a .bmp... which is evil when used on the web. The screenshot hardly shows anything anyway since it's pretty small too...

Ohh I see, thanks you guys.

Use JPG next time, the file will be smaller (causing less anguish for those of us still on dialup).
