Lighting problems with Displacements

[MrSinistar]

I added a displacement in my map for the cliff surrounding the intelligence base and noticed it is unaffected by shadows. Also, when I move closer to the displacement via noclip, the shadows turn on and stay on, but turn off from time to time.

Here's some more images...(I was messing around with the textures and llight_environment settings in these pics)

Shadows fixed themselves:

Please tell me if you guys want the vmf. BTW, all of this is unoptimized.

looks like a model texture to me, does it say model\texturename or rock\texturename (might be nature\texturename) in the texture browser?

 

[MrSinistar]

Originally, it was props_badlands\rockground001 but I just now changed it to nature\rockwall008.

And does that solve the issue?

 

[MrSinistar]

It's compiling now...hold on... Do you think the *.vmt for my previous texture was the culprit for this glitch?

 

[MrSinistar]

It worked. Thanks Youme for locating the problem!

No problem, for future reference:
Never use any texture that has model or prop at the front

(rep++)

Yep, I've done the exact same thing before, which caused the same sorts of problems. Couldn't figure out why a wall was lit differently than the wall right next to it, then I realized I'd used two similar textures, only one was a prop texture. Had a friend do the same thing, too. It's easy to do, and it looks fine in Hammer, but it gets lit funky in game.

Yeah I did it for bloodstained_b1, changed it now though so the next version will be fine
