Fullbright problem (Vrad, vvis, vbsp) (FIXED)

[goodwizard435]

Hi!
I've just started to try out mapping, and I have already run onto a problem. I was following a tutorial made by the ever informative UEAK Crash, and my lighting seems to not work at all. I have tried to both make it come from a normal light and a light_env entity, and both haven't worked. I have tried to replace the old files in the TF bin folder with the 2013 SDK files, which seems to have created even more strangeness. VBSP doesnt work whichever files I tried. Also, I have looked at another thread, who's problem was solved by installing the 32 bit version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015. I failed to find it, but installing both 64 and 86 versions have failed to have any difference. Here is the compile log:

(PS: I used the fast VRAD, but as far as I know, it makes no difference on this error)

Try deleting

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\bin\

and having steam validate files.

I have had a similar issue in the past when copying tf2 over from another computer and all the file paths were messed up.

If you don't want to validate the files, try going under options -> build programs and resetting all the paths for each of the executable(s).
