arena map i'm trying to compile simply refuses to give proper lighting, causing the map to be stuck in fullbright. no amount of restarting or mat_fullbright 0 w/ sv_cheats 1 on changes that, unfortunately. compile log: Code: Starting a 'Full - Both' compile.

Stack overflow could be the issue - take a look at https://www.mapcore.org/topic/7356-stack-overflow-in-neighbors-vrad/ perhaps
tried removing/simplifying stairs, moving/removing lights and moving light_environment, but i'm still getting this error. unsure as to what could be the cause of the error...
managed to resolve the issue. turns out that the displacements weren't exactly liked by VRAD so i just deleted them and replaced them with regular solids. oh well, they weren't something i was too attached too.
