fullbright

Can someone tell me why this little map won't compile correctly, lighting wise? I can't get it to not go fullbright. I've checked for leaks and Hammer says there are no errors. Thanks!

post your compile log please....itll save time and headache... :heee:

doc B... :dodgy:

hmm....it compiled in about 20 seconds just fine for me....

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

Okay, I looked through the log (sorry, I didn't think of that before) and it said I did have a leak. But I don't know how to find it.

• Make sure you're using Zoner's tools at the very least. The original tools are kind of unstable.
• Make sure "hlrad.exe" is running for your compile.
• Make sure you have lights in your level in the first place. If there aren't any lights, RAD by default just full-brights the thing.

EDIT: Oh, erm, okay. Well, uh, just remember those things if RAD still doesn't work after the leak.

Just post your log, otherwise we will not be able to help you.

This is a tutorial about leaks & how to find those 'lil bastards: http://www.snarkpit.com/editing.php?page=tutorials&id=3

If you map is simple, look for a giant hole into the void.

Also, you cant have brush based entities seperating your map and the void as the engine sees right through it.

Finaly, load the map in the console and type pointfile 1. Follow the line of dots to your leak

You have not got a leak. I compiled that sucker sucessfully without changing it. I expect your complie tools are screwing up somehow.

Get Zoners tools: http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?go=mhlt

i compiled it with no problems too.

if your getting a fullbright map when you compile, it can only be that you have your compile proccess set up wrong somehow.

Are you using Zoners? And are you compiling from VHE itself (please say no...) Use HLCC or some other compiler.

Havent actually looked at the map so thats the best I can tell ya.

Are you using Zoners? And are you compiling from VHE itself (please say no...) Use HLCC or some other compiler.

The tools make the difference in behavior, not the front-end. Using Hammer vs. any other compile front-end won't change a thing.

Are you running the compile tools in this order?

HLCSG

HLBSP

HLVIS

HLRAD

Also, you're not closing them if Windows for some reason reports them as "not responding", are you? Maps can take quite a while to compile.

@ Hornpipe2: but several forum members have compiled it ... took about 20 secs for Brasso, for example.

Well, except for the beautiful Hammer isn't responding trick. (Just as a note for those who aren't aware, it IS still working except Windows thinks it isn't.)

Well, if it isnt working for him, but for everybody else... So then its not the map, dosent matter if compiled in VHE or HLCC or other compiler, then maybe a set of corrupted tools?

took like 3hours to compile on my pc but i had no problems

3 hours??.....wow!!! what are you running for a system there matt?.....man o man o man.....20 seconds here...

btw, has anyone bothered to try and walk thru this after the compile?....i checked it all out as far as parts needed to play, etc....i tried, and i couldnt get it to come up on any game screen to play....hmm

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

Thre hours!? it took me 34 sec and I have a crapy old 1ghz pIII

I actualy havn't been able to load it either. it gives me this wierd "cannot find model..." error, but there are no models in the map! I think this is just my problem though, as I had the same error come up when I tried to load campaignjunkies map.

He still might panic and close it though. I've seen it happen, especially if it starts to slow your computer down.

mr vader, you should seriously contemplate using zoners tools instead of the stock Hammer tools.....big, big difference....

Doc B... :dodgy:

i compiled it as a tfc map, and it played fine. not the funnest box in the world, but it loaded.

I forgot the old Q tools showed you all that data about maximums for stuff, it would be nice if Zoner's showed you the same (though I supposed some of the stuff is no longer valid, like the planes limit or the patches limit or whatever)

Zoner's has a commmand line option to print the data. Forgot what its called though.

Thats a helluva better PC than I have. I wouldnt call it crappy.. mumbles :biggrin:

"-chart" on any of the compile tools.

I find "-estimate" is also useful, as you can see how far along the process you are in (though the time estimate it gives is pretty hokey).

Make sure you run RAD and VIS.

No problems here. Takes longer than it should to compile though...think about better brushwork and textured lighting as opposed to entity light like that. light_environment with sky textured brushes are also nice. Think of optimization...even that little chunk jutting out in the middle could be made with a single brush.

Hmmm, haven't read through the whole thread, but pull that "-full" out of the hlrad pathline. There's no parameter called full for it. So instead of running and lighting your map, hlrad took the time to tell you which parameters do exist. Not very intuitive imo, but it is how it is. I'm fairly certain eliminating that will let hlrad run correctly and therefore light your map.

Hey, Cash Car, thanks a lot. That -full was screwing up the compile. Thanks again for all the help, guys!

Your tools are also somewhat out of date. Do a search for version 2.5.3 (or just go to http://collective.valve-erc.com and check the top downloads area) and update your tools. New versions usually come with lots of bugfixes and features so it's a good idea to upgrade.
