I am having problems with the lighting on a map I'm making, for some reason any props I place start off to dark until moved from their origional location, if the lights start off they are to light and strange colors, if i make a light switch and flick the lights off and on it fixs the problem but there must be another way of getting round it. I know its not my graphics drivers because the official maps dont do this.

I get no compile errors at all, but this happens on every map I try on anything using prop_physics. I was using prop_detail (on a CS map), but for some reason hammer has suddenly started not liking it and deleting objects using it when I compile the map.

Anyone got any ideas or have this problem aswell?

Hmm how do I get the cubemaps to load when the map does automatically?

Didnt work, I still get screwed lighting on props

I just made the ground into 1 big switch that quicly turns the lights off and on at the start, seems to be working for now

I dont have any ftp to upload them to atm :/

I've been fiddling with it a bit more and found that sometimes 1 or 2 random props have the correct lighting, but it changes everytime i load the map. Its doing my head in

I found what the problem was, I forgot to make some walls into func_wall. Weird how that can make so much difference to the lighting.

Anyway now I have a new problem where the light can pass through func_walls so I cant have a totaly dark room :/
