Default Hl2 Maps are fullbright.

So yeah on certain maps of HL2 they appear in fullbright

starts at like the end of ravenholm and ends pretty much at kleiner's lab after the prison. Doesn't happen on HL2 and this is a clean copy of Garrysmod. It has happened to me over many clean installations of garrysmod. mat_fullbright IS set to 0 Any ideas? (happened on synergy too)

No edits whatsoever on those maps

[Stiffy360]

help?

Can I ask, are you running Gmod in DX8?

[Stiffy360]

DX9 :V and It only happens on SOME maps not all of them

I believe this is an issue with the way Valve handled porting over HL2 to the updated 2007 Orange Box edition of the engine. They didn't compile both LDR and HDR on certain maps (if I understand correctly). Try fiddling with your HDR parameters and see if that fixes anything.

Oh, and I can guarantee you that the coast maps have the fullbright issue as well.

I usually have HDR off because I find it annoying. I'll try switching it on and see what happens. Thanks!

EDIT:

BAM! IT WORKS! THANK YOU!
