Lighting issues

HMK-3 · Sep 11, 2014

Hi, i have a very odd (At least for me, im new in hammer) problem with the lighting. im making a CTF map, so i copied, pasted, and rotate the map, and the duplicated part has some black spots in the walls, i dunno if it is the visleafs have anything to do with this. :/
Thanks for reading this grammatical hell :O

try checking with fullbright 2 to see just the lightmap.

Do you have two identical brushes on the same spot?

The lighting is slightly darker overall. Did you accidentally add distance limits to the lights? Did your map leak? Did you compile with full vis and vrad?

Do you have a 3D skybox that overlaps the new part of the level? VRAD considers gameplay area and 3d skybox to be the same geometry for accuracy reasons.

I think this might be a genuine compiler bug. Luckily, just moving the map dodges it.

Its has been compiled in fast/full, i have no 3D Skybox, i dont messed up the lights, and i dont hace 2 brushes.

i will try to move it, i just moved a ligth and got fixed XD
