The Cubemap troubles of FernFerret

[FernFerret]

Hello everyone, let me first preface this with the fact that i've searched here/other forums/valve developer wiki. (Not guaranteeing that I didn't miss something)

I am having trouble with 2 areas of my map, a glass window (glasswindow001a) and an air duct (metalduct001a) They have the pink overlays, In the vent duct there are 3 cube maps, one in the glass room. Below is the console output from what I have tried.

Any Help is appreciated, Attached images related.

Thanks in advance,
FernFerret

this is what i normally follow (from the wiki - http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Cubemaps )

mat_specular 0
buildcubemaps
mat_hdr_level 0 (to go to LDR)
map mapname (to reload map)
buildcubemaps
mat_hdr_level 2 (to go back to HDR)
map mapname (to reload map)
mat_specular 1

I added sv_lan 1 to my compile parameters also, obviously if its not a hdr compile you can skip those steps.

What sky texture are you using? Take a look at your compile log for errors relating to that. My guess is you needs to change that texture.

biggest thing is make sure you disconnect then map mapname after

actually what I had to do to make everything work properly was disconnect, create a game on a completely different map, and then go back to my map. That makes everything show up ok.

I haven't had a problem with that glass texture, and I use it several places :s

Other than that wish I could help out more. Hope this helps.

I am currently using the hydro skybox, i'll try all of your options, thank you all, I'll be in touch.

Solution FOUND!

Paria/DJive thank you both, the map mapname was the biggest part, I had just been disconnecting and retrying
