I'm having a lot of trouble with specular reflections. This decal from CS:S is lighting up insanely brightly even in what should be near-darkness.
-snip-
I sort-of fixed it by rebuilding cube maps with the light flipped off instead of on.

I have a really big city-type map, no idea how to use skip/hint brushes or where to put them. Any one give me any tips? I've watched countless YouTube videos on it, but they all use small, closed in maps.
Hmm wondering about this again for some reason, but would it ever be possible to create a Hammer like client where two or maybe even more users could work on a map at the same time in the same session? Like a cooperative sort of thing.
Probably been asked about before and it's most likely completely impossible with Hammer as it is, but the idea still intrigues me.
[QUOTE=Ereunity;38959994]Or you may have unsupported entities in your map that are causing the game to crash or you have compiled it with the wrong vbsp/vvis/vrad.
I thought episode two used the 2007 compilers? Your log says it used the 2009 one?[/QUOTE]
I'm using no custom ents, it was using the same vbsp/vvis/vrad when it was work to the time it stopped working. Also ep2 does use 2009.

Isn't that what instances do?
Anyway after going back to an auto save I was able to continue working on my map. Now I have another question how do I make a combine soldier move from where it spawns (npc_maker_template). When the combine soldier spawns he just stands there and the player can't see him because he spawns behind a building that is inaccessible to the player.
Did anyone figured out how to get a blur effect like in Dear Esther (the cave parts)? As far as i know Briscoe used a special texture for that
[QUOTE=Cyrill Jones;38960359]Name the door. In the glass entity type in the name of the door into the Parent name box.[/QUOTE]
Do I make the glass a func_door_rotating too?
No, just make it a func_detail if you want an unbreakable window or func_breakable if not.

Well if it was a texture than I would assume that he used env_screenoverlay
i don't know if this is an issue that is easily solved but if i tried to search for a solution i wouldn't know what to type, being a novice and all

All the models are prop_statics, i tried using -StaticPropLighting but that makes the map go fullbright

Noob question: In creating a map for TTT, how do I add traitor weapons like a knife to the map?
I configured hammer for TTT and everything else in badking's mapping guide ([url]http://ttt.badking.net/mapping-guide[/url]).
I've got some noobish questions.
1. I've noticed a lot of custom props I want to add to a map I've made havn't been updated to work for Gmod 13, would they still work if I put them in a map for gmod? (and yes I'll credit the owners :L)
2. I'm very new to mapping, yet I'm trying to make a HDR skybox. I've gone through the tutorials like this one [URL="http://spockjedi.webs.com/HDR%20TUTORIAL.html"](LINK) [/URL]. But I've pretty much made the skybox from photoshop, I didn't use programs such as Vue or Terragen. Though I used other programs like GIMP and VTFedit later on, would their be some encoded information from using those skybox programs that wouldn't allow it to work on SDK? (cause mine is showing up textureless)

Usually I would recommend not using models for everything since source uses baked lightmaps only on brushes. What you could do is try compiling with -Staticproplighting and -staticproppolys

Common options:
-v (or -verbose): Turn on verbose output (also shows more command
-bounce # : Set max number of bounces (default: 100).
-fast : Quick and dirty lighting.
-fastambient : Per-leaf ambient sampling is lower quality to save compute time.
-final : High quality processing. equivalent to -extrasky 16.

-mpi : Use VMPI to distribute computations.
-rederror : Show errors in red.
-vproject <directory> : Override the VPROJECT environment variable.
-game <directory> : Same as -vproject.
Other options:
-novconfig : Don't bring up graphical UI on vproject errors.
-dump : Write debugging .txt files.
-dumpnormals : Write normals to debug files.
-dumptrace : Write ray-tracing environment to debug files.
-threads : Control the number of threads vbsp uses (defaults to the #
or processors on your machine).
-lights <file> : Load a lights file in addition to lights.rad and the
level lights file.
-noextra : Disable supersampling.
-debugextra : Places debugging data in lightmaps to visualize
supersampling.

on terrain. The compile will take longer, but it will gather
light across a wider area.
-StaticPropLighting : generate backed static prop vertex lighting
-StaticPropPolys : Perform shadow tests of static props at polygon precision
-OnlyStaticProps : Only perform direct static prop lighting (vrad debug option)
-StaticPropNormals : when lighting static props, just show their normal vector

It's supposed to be like the Blue Shift elevator crash, by the way.
I can't get overlays to appear correctly within hammer or in compiled maps.

Things I know I've tried
- adjusting the overlay to snap it into different boundaries on the brush
- changing render-order to 3 in properties of overlay
- used point select to verify "brush faces" surface was properly selected

So now what I did is just uploaded a video of what happens when I simply try to apply an overlay to a block wall (a brush is what I think its called) and run the map. (will link youtube video once it finishes uploading)
Video contents:
Select overlay,
apply to brush,
move around to show flashing glitch,
run map
show more glitch
[edit]
Found out that overlays are a specific sort of texture, and that I can't just use any old texture as an overlay. Is that the case or am I missing something

usage : vrad [options...] bspfile
example: vrad c:\hl2\hl2\maps\test
Common options:
-v (or -verbose): Turn on verbose output (also shows more command
-bounce # : Set max number of bounces (default: 100).
-fast : Quick and dirty lighting.
-fastambient : Per-leaf ambient sampling is lower quality to save compute time.
-final : High quality processing. equivalent to -extrasky 16.
-extrasky n : trace N times as many rays for indirect light and sky ambient.
-low : Run as an idle-priority process.
-mpi : Use VMPI to distribute computations.
-rederror : Show errors in red.
-vproject <directory> : Override the VPROJECT environment variable.
-game <directory> : Same as -vproject.
Other options:
-novconfig : Don't bring up graphical UI on vproject errors.
-dump : Write debugging .txt files.
-dumpnormals : Write normals to debug files.
-dumptrace : Write ray-tracing environment to debug files.
-threads : Control the number of threads vbsp uses (defaults to the #
or processors on your machine).
-lights <file> : Load a lights file in addition to lights.rad and the
level lights file.
-noextra : Disable supersampling.
-debugextra : Places debugging data in lightmaps to visualize
supersampling.
-smooth # : Set the threshold for smoothing groups, in degrees
(default 45).
-dlightmap : Force direct lighting into different lightmap than
radiosity.
-stoponexit : Wait for a keypress on exit.
-mpi_pw <pw> : Use a password to choose a specific set of VMPI workers.
-nodetaillight : Don't light detail props.
-centersamples : Move sample centers.
-luxeldensity # : Rescale all luxels by the specified amount (default: 1.0).
The number specified must be less than 1.0 or it will be
ignored.
-loghash : Log the sample hash table to samplehash.txt.
-onlydetail : Only light detail props and per-leaf lighting.
-maxdispsamplesize #: Set max displacement sample size (default: 512).
-softsun <n> : Treat the sun as an area light source of size <n> degrees. Produces soft shadows.
Recommended values are between 0 and 5. Default is 0.
-FullMinidumps : Write large minidumps on crash.
-chop : Smallest number of luxel widths for a bounce patch, used on edges
-maxchop : Coarsest allowed number of luxel widths for a patch, used in face interiors
-LargeDispSampleRadius: This can be used if there are splotches of bounced light
on terrain. The compile will take longer, but it will gather
light across a wider area.
-StaticPropLighting : generate backed static prop vertex lighting
-StaticPropPolys : Perform shadow tests of static props at polygon precision
-OnlyStaticProps : Only perform direct static prop lighting (vrad debug option)
-StaticPropNormals : when lighting static props, just show their normal vector
-textureshadows : Allows texture alpha channels to block light - rays intersecting alpha surfaces will sample the texture
-noskyboxrecurse : Turn off recursion into 3d skybox (skybox shadows on world)
-nossprops : Globally disable self-shadowing on static props

I don't know what you want me to do with that,[/QUOTE]
The lines above show that vrad isnt running because your command line switches are wrong.
right now they are:"-game -staticproplighting -staticproppolys"
they need to be: "-staticproplighting -staticproppolys -game"

it worked and after doing it everything looked a lot darker but not pitch black, as i go further around the map on the insides though everything is pitch black except for the other models which are nearby the lights
