My Map is in Fullbright ?

[beute^]

Im making a Frontline! Payload version of ctf_2fort.I added just the Traintracks right now, but when i compile my map it is in Fullbright and the spawn door has a distorted wooden like texture. I dont have any idea how to fix this. I searched around the internet but found nothing. I think it is something with my Compile option, maybe i have chosen a wrong one.

Do you have light entities in your map? If not, your map will automatically be run in fullbright by TF2.
Another possibility is that you loaded a map that didn't have lighting in before your map. The fullbright cvar will stay enabled when another map is loaded, even if it has lighting.

 

[beute^]

im using the VMF version of ctf_2fort. So probably there is a light entity because it is of course a premade map by valve.

 

[theatreTECHIE]

Is there a leak in your map? In hammer go to Map -> Load Pointfile and see if there is a red line linking one of your entities to the void. If so, you'll need to seal it up with a solid brush (if you can't see the brush from within the map, use nodraw texture).

 

[beute^]

it seems theres no Leak. i clicked on load point file and brought up a explorer which means there is no point file. As i said im editing a pre-made map from Valve, so i think theres no Leak. I think its something with my Compile options.maybe they are wrong.

 

[nickybakes]

Note that when maps get decompiled, some things don't get transferred back to the VMF. There is a possibility that the light entities weren't transferred over when decompiled. At the top of Hammer, click Map > Entity Report. Check "by class" and type in "light_environment". Way a couple seconds, and if an entity comes up then it should be okay, but if not then that's probably the reason you are in full bright.

 

[henke37]

Lights are retained just fine.

 

[beute^]

nope i have a light_environment in my map. Im 100% sure its something with my Compile options. i probably fucked them up.

 

[Another Bad Pun]

Can we see your compile log?

That's probably the issue. Normally this is caused by a leak, but it doesn't say there's a leak so your next best hope is to remake the brush(es) mentioned here.

 

[beute^]

the ones with the coordinates ?

 

[Muddy]

yep

 

[beute^]

the coordinates are at BLU spawn where the snipers mostly are camping. I have no idea what i should do.uggghhh mapping is so hard.

 

[Muddy]

It's not that hard. Just remake the brushes in that area and recompile.

 

[beute^]

with brushes you mean blocks and that stuff ? by the way, there are these Hint blocks everywhere.can i delete them ?

 

[Another Bad Pun]

Decompiled maps occasionally have broken brushes that can break the map and it looks like that was your problem.
Just delete the offending brushes (brushes are the term for hammer's blocks) and remake them.
If you want to hide the hints and clips for a short time then go down to the right of the screen where you see "visgroups." Uncheck the hint boxes and all of the hints should disappear. Visgroups are extremely useful and can remove far more than just hints (which you can probably see) and you can even create your own.
IMPORTANT
You need to un-hide all of your visgroups before you compile or they will not be compiled with the map. So if you hide those hints and then compile without checking that box again they won't be present in the final compile.

 

[beute^]

is there a way how i can see the broken brushes or is there any signature to broken brushes ?

 

[Crowbar]

Alt-P to show map errors which contains report about invalid brushes? Once you click the invalid brush report, it selects the bad brush automatically so you can see which one is it.

 

[beute^]

thank you Crowbar i will try it later (im playing TF2 right now)
