Are you using a model texture on the bridge? The purple checkerboard on your roof is because you do not have a cubemap in your map yet.

1. Player position-dependent lighting usually means you're using a texture from a models/props subdirectory. What are the names of the textures you're using on the bridge?

2. Tokit is right, you need to place at least one env_cubemap in your map and then, in game, type "buildcubemaps" in the console.

Have I missed something here - I am getting the same black shadow showing on the wooden platforms - I already have a env_cubemap placed over some water in the same room - should I have a env_bubemap for each time I see the black thingy??

Cheers

You missed number 1 there. You're probably using model textures. All the model textures have world equivalents, you'll want to replace them.

Apologies - I don't understand what I have done wrong (not a seasoned mapper, you know!) is there a quick way of replacing them (whatever they are!)

Thanks in advance
Nosh.

You're likely using textures that are in the models/ directory. Check the texture names in hammer, and if they are you'll have to find their equivalents. For example, models/props_mining/wall020 will give you the black lighting errors, while wood/wall020 will not, although it looks the same in hammer. The texture application tool (shift+a) has a Replace... button that will bring up a dialog.
