Exactly what the title says, when I make an overlay and run the map, it just ends up being a black square. I'm sure the reason is simple, but I haven't been able to find anything about it.....

Do you have any light entities in your map?
fullbright mode can cause overlays to appear black.

I had this same problem once ill see if i can remember what it was. Ok I couldnt find my post so im going to guess. I believe it was caused by a leak. if no leak look for your env entities.

I had this.
Ya just whack some lights in.
I know it seems like there is light on the map, but it's an automatic thing.
Just add some light entites in, and voila, instant overlay!

Thanks, but I'm not that new! :p

I have lighting in the map, I tested different overlays in different lighted areas, none worked.

My friend said something about he put a cubemap right in front of the overlay and it worked, but I'm too tired to check :sleep:

I need to restart my maps twice after building cubemaps before my overlays will look right.
