impulse 81 not working

I can't seem to get impulse 81 to work, I get this error:

Error reading weapon data file for: weapon_cubemap

I set sv_lan and cheats to 1 aswell.

Help appreciated.

I thought the command was impulse 101, what does impulse 81 do?

81 makes your weapon a mutli coloured thing or something for testing cubemaps.

Oh I was not aware of that.

Well with sv_cheats and sv_lan on it should work. I know in the console it gives you the commands you can use, does it pop up when you type impul or something? Geeze I have no idea, I'm on a school computer so I can't test anything right now.

You got a good GFX card and models etc. on high?

Radeon 9600 pro (128mb) Models aren't set on high, they are set on medium. I did vis on fast BTW.

In the console, try typing "help impulse" for a list of all impulse commands. That may help.

and you made sure to run buildcubmaps and restart your map before trying impulse 81?

Restart? Didn't know that. Gonna go check now if any of these help.

Still not working, get the same error message.

I have only tryed this in hl2 DM, and it dosnt work.

impulse 81 does work, it puts 6 spheres with different shaders on them into your AR1 weapon slot
to test out the cubemaps, I've gotton it to work in HL2DM before, but
with this update I get that error message also, check the steam forums
for any info maybe (YEAH RIGHT!).

I'm not sure about the error, but I had a problem with this for the longest time.

Impulse 81 doesn't work if you have hud_fastswitch on. You'll have to turn it off to do this.

So, there is no weapon_cubemap, which is presumably the weapon_ entity used in the code for the cubemap spherey weapon.. CSS probably doesnt support it, since it uses completely different weapons. If you put an info_player_start in the map, try copying the bsp to the hl2sp maps folder and running it in hl2.

wil50ns answer sounds closest to the money - why the f**k don't people come back and mark these things, let alone test solutions..

why the f**k don't people come back and mark these things...

I always get irritated when people don't mark the correct
solution. It's almost like not wiping your ass after going to the
bathroom. It's just wrong, socially and morally.

I dont know if I would go that far... I hate asking people to mark
answers correct, makes me look like a snark mark whore!

I will test it tommorow, I have been out from 8ish this morning till
half 4 at college retaking my chemistry exam then been with my GF the
rest of the day, I've just got home and will test it tommorow or friday.

You should know me better than that by now gwil.
