What happens if you replace the non-entity brush with the entity brush?
Also, to properly use Dropbox for image embeds, you need to change the URLs from www.dropbox.com/s/xxxxxxxxxxxx/file.jpg?dl=0 to dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xxxxxxxxxxxx/file.jpg.

I'd put the brush inside.
Take the texture scaling down on the floor to increase the shadow resolution

well i get no shadows, just collision.
I'd put the brush inside.still i get the model pitch black
And what about the zhlt Opaque (blocks light) creating the different shadow?

I'd put the brush inside.Ok Was a bit trial and error but i got the inside scale of the brush smaller and the ground texture scaled up, it works ;] THX

Just needs a bit of fiddling XD
Still...why dosnt zhlt Opaque (blocks light) react to the light ??

you mean the third barrel on the second picture? as far as I experienced it the opaque entities often drop totally incorrect shadows.
When using the new versions of Vluzacn's Half life tools ( a modification of zhlt) it should always draw correct shadows though.
you can combine func_walls with cycler_sprites then

Vluzacn's Half life toolsWow 0-o thx didn't even know someone improved compiling tools in 2015.... and they work really great, solves a lot of the issues and gives some new possibilities :> thx

If Im currently compiling on ZHLT and move to Vluzacn's Half life tools, will my map look essentially the same when compiled with VHLT until I start making use of the additional functionality?
Or do I need to do any setup to move to VHLT from zoners?

well first compile i did with VHLT was significantly different with ZHLT
VHLT gives more natural and smooth look to a map, colors shadows everything feeals improved. And you get some additional entities you can use in interesting way.
