I have a map with lights in every room. I have env_cubemaps around the map. When i compile the map and play the map, some textures are black at certain angels. I'm thinking due to some lighting. I typed buildcubemaps in console and I have hdr on. Any help is appreciated.
Here's a video for visual help: [URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X4vUanp6vw[/URL]
compile log.
Make sure you aren't using "prop_" textures as they are not meant to be used on world brushes.

[QUOTE=Yadda;31463857]Make sure you aren't using "prop_" textures as they are not meant to be used on world brushes.[/QUOTE]
The directory to my materials are:
half-life 2 episode two\ep2\materials\material.vtf
there's no "prop_" infront of it. It's not in any sub folders. ALl the materials are just in the material folder, if this helps at all.
My guess is you have too many dynamic lights hitting the surfaces
Post the content of the material.vmt please
Also, you got a leak.
And a microbrush (A brush below 1 cubic unit)
And you shouldn't name your lights unless you want to turn it on and off. And too many lights with different names too close will increase compile time and .bsp size.
It'll also have that ugly effect on textures
Vertex lit textures. There's your problem, now stop using them to fix it.
Looks like a model texture. Change to a new texture and see if that helps.
Don't use something like model/texture
only plaster/wall.
Well, this only happens in Half Life Episode 2, but when I play the map on Gmod or CS:S, the textures are fine. But in Gmod, when I pick something up, thats when the textures get black. I tried swtiching the textures to LightMappedGeneric and VertexLitGeneric, but both have no difference.

If it's a texture for a brush it should be LightMappedGeneric. If it's for a model use VertexLitGeneric.
Ok, I solved my problem. I just copied the vmt from a texture that didn't have that problem, onto my vmt that had the black texture problem. If you have the same problem and didn't understand a word I just said, I'll make a video explaining what I did. Thanks for all your help.
