I am not going to go too far into detail, but if more is needed, I will try to provide.
Ok I have been working on my map for I while, I compile the map often to test things, and for the days I have been working on it, light and light_spot has been working just fine. Now ALL of my lights that have their appearance set to normal are not hitting the world, but hit models, props, and my viewmodel. Lights that have their appearance set to anything besides normal work just fine, but I need lights that do not change their brightness. I have tried using custom appearance but that did not work wither(probably used it wrong)
I have also copied and pasted the entire map into a new file to see if that would resolve the problem. I am not sure why all of a sudden the lights just stopped working, maybe it is something that I put in that broke them, the last thing I worked on before this problem occurred was a radio model that activates a sound file when a player uses it(which works fine), and that is all I remember doing before the issue.
I am a novice map maker, bu I am not a moron. Please ask for more information if you need it.

This is what interlopers error page says. But i am not sure if thats the cause ofthe problem.
[QUOTE]fastvis = true
Description:
You seem to be running vvis in -fast mode. This is okay for testing purposes, but mind that this will cause:
Strange compile errors, like 'cluster saw into cluster' errors
Strange errors ingame (including unexpected crashes)
Hitting limits ingame, by skipping essential optimization processses
Lower performance ingame
Solution:
If you experience any of these problems, and don't have any specific clues for the cause, please try to compile without the -fast option, see if that helps. If compiling without -fast is taking too long /seems to crash vvis, you may need to optimize your map using func_detail[/QUOTE]
First, convert any of your displacements that are at a power of 4 to a power of 3. Power 4 displacements can cause problems during compiling.
If that still doesn't work, upload your .VMF and I'll look at it.
I do have a displacement, but for at least 50 compiles it was not a problem, but I will give it a try anyways
[editline]2nd March 2014[/editline]
the displacement is a power of 3 and as for my .vmf, this is a VERY early version of this map, the basic structure if far from done and I have don't little in terms of optimization and adding nodraws to outside of map. This is intended to be a zombie survival map, and is not nearly done.

Lighting is working fine. I turned the ceiling's displacements where the hole is to power 3 displacements, then added two func_visgroups and it's fine. It's bright because you have like 19 lights overlapping each other each with a brightness of 2000, so you might want to fix those.

[editline]Edited:[/editline]
The reason your map takes so long to compile is because it has literally zero optimization in it and I think the super bright lighting making all those light bounces due to reflectivity on the floor, ceiling, and wall textures is causing some seriously long compile times.
thanks so much your help is very appreciated!
[editline]2nd March 2014[/editline]
and another thing, reflective textures area bit broken on my gmod for some reason, so I can not see them.
[editline]2nd March 2014[/editline]
and I am going to optimize it when it is done :p and what exactly does the func_viscluster do? I see alot of things on other peoples maps like hints and stiff like that, what does it do and is it needed?
[editline]2nd March 2014[/editline]
Wait, now I am starting to think it is just my garry's mod, because I still can not see the lights..

What do you mean you can't see the lights? If all you did was tone down the brightness in the .VMF I gave you it should be working perfectly. Post a screenshot.
I mean it is the same as before :/ I do not think hammer is the problem because it worked on your computer, but not mine

And sorry that I not explaining things well
[editline]2nd March 2014[/editline]
I am going to try running in CSS
Hit ~ while in game and take a screenshot when it brings the console up.
Nope its not garry's mod, maybe its the way that I am compiling that is wrong, I am gonna give you my .bsp to see if that is the issue
[url]http://www.mediafire.com/download/nh6d4vl7lb13bca/luxury_beta_v4.zip[/url]
[editline]2nd March 2014[/editline]
and ok I will do that (plenty of lua errors on gmod)

And again, as mentioned before, not a moron :P
And I also tried compiling on my brother's computer and the same issue occurred, can you tell me your exact compile settings and your tools>options settings.
[editline]2nd March 2014[/editline]
I really don't fucking get this, its only lights with their appearance set to normal, is their a way for me to make a light or light_spot without it's appearance set to normal, but still behaves like it?
[editline]2nd March 2014[/editline]
Notice how in this picture how the light hits the prop and my viewmodel but not the brushes, this only happens with lights(all light types including light_spot) when their appearance is set to normal.
[url]http://i.imgur.com/ecQjzSe.png[/url]
I have tried copying entire map and making new file, deleting and remaking lights, changing x4 displacements to 3, changing compile settings between fast, normal, and full HDR, tried playing my compile on diff PC and compiling on a diff PC and playing it their, WitheredGryphon compiled it on his PC and the lights worked just fine.
AND NOTE: I compiled this map at least 50 times, and the problem occurred in very recent compiled, I have no fucking clue what I did, I have tried deleting the latest things I have done but I may be missing something, I have a light underwater, but even after deleting that the problem did not occur, there has to be god damn someone who knows what this issue is, it is mind boggling.

You lighting is not bouncing off brushes. Try copy and pasting into a new.vmf

ok I just made 'em links, please help me if you can :(
Are the lights inside the models at all by any chance? If so try moving them out.
[QUOTE=Firegod522;44104127]Are the lights inside the models at all by any chance? If so try moving them out.[/QUOTE]
I can say with 100000000000000% positivity, that is not the problem, lights work with appearance set to anything but normal, weather or not their in a model, and most of my lights are floating on wear near props. I am gonna have to make a video to show exactly what my problem, everyone is assuming I am a moron who has no idea what I am doing. And look at other prictures and actually read what I say cause I am repeating myself here.

[editline]2nd March 2014[/editline]
notice the light is in mid air, and look at the appearance setting in the window on the left, see that? if the light is set to normal, it only hits models and viewmodels ingame, if it is set to for example, flicker A, it WILL show up, but I don't want all my lights to move and shit so I am not settling for that.

See those blue lines? Those are the [URL="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Visleaf"]visleaves[/URL].
If you make "detailed" brushes into [URL="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Func_detail"]func_detail[/URL] then the visleaf will look more like this:

Thanks man, I will check it out and let you know if it helped later, I am playing games atm lol.
