[SOLVED] Skybox displacements appear differently in-game

[FloofCollie]

In Hammer, the displacement terrain in the 3D skybox is quite clearly lined up properly with the props (the props are even sunk into it a tiny bit), yet in-game it appears as though the props are floating above it.




Tried recompiling, same problem. Any ideas?

Compile log?

 

[FloofCollie]

Ran it through interlopers.net's compile log checker, which didn't find anything I wasn't already aware of.

Are the displacements there if you noclip over to the 3D skybox area in the compiled map?

 

[FloofCollie]

Yep, they're present. Collision works too.

 

[FloofCollie]

Here's another pic, tried to line it up with the Hammer view one.

 

[FloofCollie]

So I've decompiled the map to work on it again and this problem still persists. I guess I'll have to manually offset either the props or the displacements and compile until they match?

 

[iiboharz]

Have you tried re-making the displacement?

 

[FloofCollie]

Okay, nvm, now the props show up properly in the editor for some reason. I have no idea what caused this
