This may be harmless, and if no strange side effects are occurring, then
it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange
or obscure errors, consider this as suspect.

Get rid of some of those textures! The limit is 8. Also fix this error:

- Warning: Larger than expected texture (348972 bytes): 'THANKS'

What is a 'light_ev' exactly? Secondly what do you mean by "i place a light_ev and a light_spot in with a null so i know there in place and that."? Are you saying you made a small room which was textured with the null texture and put those two lights in? Try this instead:

To test that your lights do actually work, open a new map. Create a small room textured with a 'crete' texture (type it into filter when you select your texture), place a 'light' in the room and place an info_player_start in it as well. Do a full compile and see whether or not the lights work. If they do then your making a mistake somewhere in your map. Use the 'Check for problems' tool in Hammer. If all else fails, post your map in the vault.

Try just using a "light" entity? If not, the compiled maps are being copied to the wrong place/aren't being copied. Find fy_council_estate-b1.bsp in your RMFs directory and copy that into your cstrikemaps directory, overwriting the original.

Maybe he means Light_Environment by Light_ev? And more than 8 textures run fine on my machine when compiling, so what's up with the limit?

Does lighting work correctly when running a fast vis? I never tried it. Try turning on full vis and see if that fixes it.

i got logged out for that post somehow, but that ^ was me giving the sound advice and using wicked metaphores (spelling?!?!?) ^_^
