Downloading Map Problem Created 16 years ago2007-12-28 00:06:48 UTC by Bobthereaper

Ok, With source SDK hammer ( Counter-Strike Source ) I made my map, compiled it. I give it to a dude Unknown. This guy own a server, he put my map on it and when people download it, they see everything silver, that's what they say. I'm trying to get a screenshot from a guy, but I don't think they'd make fun of me, cause I sent my map to many servers and it does same. This is so frustrating because people's critic get mad and they cry when they see it, so if you know the problem it'd be nice to help me please cause my map isn't as screw like non-lighted maps but a good one.

PS: I don't know what's the name of the problem or the name of anything in this but Download, so I hate people getting mad because the problem is too easy, or the guy is noob, we're not all good as you ,so please no comments of this and don't say : "You'll hate me, because... " because it's more stupid, you know what I mean.

Um ok... we need more information. I :might: have an idea of the problem.

What do you mean by "silver"? Glowing brightly?
What do you mean by "everything"? Models, guns, windows, props, or brushes?
Did you compile with HDR?
If you did, did you forget to add cubemaps?
Were you using custom content?
Were there any errors in your compile log?

Answer those and we can solve this quicker. This is also one of those cases where a screenshot would make it infinitely easier to help.

"Did you compile with HDR?
If you did, did you forget to add cubemaps?"

Interesting, I think it may be that, but I don't I said someone would send me a screenshot of what he sees, I'll send it later

Compiling with HDR but not adding (or building) the cubemaps results in every reflective surface glowing pure white. Reflective surfaces include all of your guns, parts on players uniforms, windows, metal props, ect.

For example, I made a pink and glowing Combine Elite:

Ok gotcha, http://fr.xfire.com/screenshots/t3hcheify/ ( This isn't my xfire, so don't mess up with the guy thinking it's me ) But I got a lil question, I see HDR lighting on the pyramid, but when i runned the map it didn't show HDR lighting. If it's a question of Graphic Card don't answer.
