how to turn off fullbright? Created 16 years ago2007-05-24 16:00:39 UTC by Snusmumrikken

dunno if its the right forum thou...
but anyways,
i made this map...(cs source map)
i made sure i dont have any entities outside the map and i have a 3d skybox...
i have a sun, and some lights but none of them is working, cos i dont want the whole map to be fully lighted.(it seems a little strange to have light in a closed hole without any light there:/ )
and i also tried with a hl2 prefab skybox around the map, and it worked for a little while.... but not any more:O
so, any1 got a suggestion?
^_^

Right this is the right forum so well done.

Ok so I would suggest posting the compile log so I can see any errors that might make it fullbright.

My other suggestion is when you push F9 is VRAD ticked on Normal?

oh, i guess ill compile the map with "Normal" then, and try that^^
i always did "fast" cos its so much faster:p

anyways here is the compile stuff ^^

There is a gap in your map somewhere which links the map to the void outside.

Look through the Hammer menus and select "Load Default Pointfile" and Hammer will draw a line in the views to show you where it is.

Find it.

Follow it.

yay it worked now^^ i just deleted some messed up displacements...
i guess it was a gap there...

thank you for your help Playbus and Habboi^^

Ah and if you didn't know displacements don't seal a map from the void so you have to place a skybox under it. That doesn't mean just place a huge box around the map with sky textured on it as this just adds to the lag and compile times are longer.

That's not good either. I think you have some concave brushes somewhere (I haven't seen an error like this before, so I could be wrong).

Go to the coordinates it specifies and look for some bad brushwork.

Even so it shouldn't bring up an error like that since I used to hollow box my maps all the time until recently...
