Ok I have done abit of HL1/TFC/CS mappin before and thought I would give it a go in HL2. Dug out an old map I made and loaded it up, changed textures, sorted old stuff and changed it to new.

Now I dont have any ambient light at all. One small areas lights work properly (these are lights as oppossed to textures ), Textured lights are visable up close but not emitting light.

Getting no errors during compile. Have tried this with and without a skybox and using different skyboxes. Have entered all into the map properties. Nothing.

Have deleted the 2 light_envs i had before, put a new one in. Deleted all the old lights and replaced em.

Any Clue please what I am doin wrong?
