HDR Issue - For spooky, underwater map

[deltaalpha05]

Hey all!

So I am currently encountering a really bizarre issue and I have no one to turn too .

I recently started finishing up work on an underwater like map, I wanted to use it for TF2 but also for SFM. When I didn't use HDR the map loaded up lights fine but when I used HDR, it became super dark and weird as hell. Some parts of the map loaded lights decently (but incorrectly) and some didn't.

I have tonemap and logic enabled as well as the necessary outputs but I've spent now 2 days trying to figure it out. I also have 0 leaks with 4 areaportals that are well optimized. This map is ready to go except for that HDR not working!

Any help would be great!

PS Attaching image to help you guys out. Additionally some of my prop_dynamic_overrides are not registering my info_lighting for some odd reason too.

could you show us a picture without compiling with hdr?

Yeah I think so. But I also think I solved it, basically had to increase the lighting density from 1 -> 30 and the lights were back to what they were supposed to look like.
