Having an issue with shadows in source.
It seems like it's not updating shadows properly on certain structures? Like, I complied this as a full block, then cut a bit off the top and sliced the sides and now those faces are oddly shadowed.

Anyone know what's going on?

[Talvy]

Whenever I believe my map is not compiling correctly, I just copy/paste everything onto a new file.

I think that's caused by smoothing groups, apply different groups to faces that share an edge

VRAD will automatically smooth edges that have faces that are within (by default) 45 degrees of each other. You can change that value with -smooth. -smooth 0 will disable automatic smoothing, which is really nice for geometric stuff.

Hope you don't mind me adding this to that resources and tutorials thread.

Wow, i forgot how much i loved to map, going through my old stuff i found something i cant believe i made.

This look crazy good, the amount of detail that's in the doorway but still it's so simple. I love it!

[Talvy]

I love going through old map folders :v:

Tried to compile with -smooth 0, but it's still giving me weird shadow errors.

It might be the luxel size is too big.

Looks alright to me

[editline]25th September 2014[/editline]

It's like the entire brush is messed up? It's got this black shadow on the top I cant get rid of and if I adjust any brushes near it, the shadows stay the same, leading to massive black patches. Deleting and recreating the brush doesn't fix this.

Other brushes that connected to it as well.

[Seba]

I'm afraid I don't know the solution to the big black face problem, but this edge

[img]http://i.imgur.com/ZXzilnI.png[/img]

has non-aligned luxels, which will probably cause shadow bleeding. Align that diagonal face to World

This can happen if the brush is off grid. check to see if you brush has any decimals in it's size, and check if it's aligned to the grid.

It goes amazingly with the skybox he's using. Do you mind sharing where you got it from?

It was aligned to world, but aligning it to face didn't fix it either.

Everything's perfectly on grid, I've recreated this brush enough times to know.

Move the faces to hard smoothing groups, or compile with "-smooth 1" in light.exe

Okay fuck I'm an idiot :v:
As it turns out, block lights in the skybox affect the main map as well. I had a scale replica of the map made out of block lights in the skybox so the shadows would match, but as it turns out, when I edited the brushes in the main map the shadows from the skybox remained.

Bluhh, all solved now anyway, thanks for the suggestions.

so i've decided to go back to projects i was working on a year ago

I would like to start another mapping competition once the current 20 brush one finishes. I'm not sure if it should be...
(a) Capture the essence of Autumn (the season not the mod) - judged on aesthetics
(b) Capture the essence of Winter/The Holidays - judged on aesthetics
or
(c) Recreate a video game map in Hammer (NO GOLDENEYE) - judged on accuracy, gameplay, and aesthetics

Recreating a map would be the fairest one, since you don't necessarily need to make it pretty for it to win.

Just did a lot of work on my map

Is your Hammer set up wrong, 3.4, 3.5, 3.5.1, 3.5.2? You should be able to see the models in the 3D view.
