cubemap errors

[Archmage MC]

So I compile cubemaps with HDR lighting using these steps.

map <mapname>
mat_specular 0
buildcubemaps
disconnect
mat_hdr_level 0
map <mapname>
buildcubemaps
disconnect
mat_specular 1
mat_hdr_level 2
map <mapname> (different)
map <mapname>

Yet when I distribute the map, people still see reflective purple checkerboards over the textures. I don't see them, but others do. Why is that?

You need to pull the map from the tf/maps folder, not your hammer folder.

Or you need to do mat_specular 1 ; disconnect; mat_reloadallmaterials after you do HDR/LDR ... since you don't reload them after the first time.

Hm, seems the error was a corrupt texture causing the problem. Problem fixed.
