When I play my level, all the zombies (in dim light) are shiny, you can see their texture but its like they have a metallic skin on them. How do I get rid of this?

Build yer cubemaps.

I placed cubemaps, everywhere, doesnt help

No, you have to build them in the console. Read your compile log!

thanks, hoped it would work, but it didnt Im not sure what Ill do, guess it just has to stay as is :

ok ok, so I ran everything on the compile on normal, not fast, and then built cubemaps, that zombie, well that corner makes everything shiny, everything else seemed to fix itself, what can I do about that corner?

Where did you place them? You need one over in that dark area as well as in the light areas, and probably one in between.

It looks like that because it can't get a good reflection mask so it's using it's base specular one which is black and white.

ok, you guys know what your talking about, ill give that a go, on hl2world.com they said just so long as the cubemap can see something, its fine.

yay! it works, thanks guys! rather, thanks Rabid/Seventh!
