The lighting in my levels looks different depending on whether I start the map through Hammer or through the console, so basically I wanted to know which one it is that I should be using as the "correct" one?

Erm. They shouldn't be different at all, unless you're using some obscure launch option (which doesn't exist).

But I'd imagine go off of the map you launch from HL since no one playing your map ever will be launching it from Hammer. (even though that should make no difference what so ever) [addsig]

Hrmm, I suppose that would be the common sense answer. Thanks, yo. [addsig]

Possibly hammers interfering with some sort of third-party gamma correction software... thats all I can think of. [addsig]

After running from both of them, check the "gamma" and "brightness" values in the console to make sure they are staying the same.

Is the lighting really different, or is it just brighter or darker? If it is really different, make sure your not using a screwy command line option, like +r_fullbright 1 or something.

PS: Please ignore my last sentence, I know you wouldn't use +r_fullbright 1 on the command line, would you? [addsig]

We'd have disowned him long ago if that was the case
