mat_fullbright is stuck on 0.

[NoamGM]

I coded a map (It's a Portal 2 map), and the lights sucks at it, they are not natural at all and everything is
bright as hell. I tried using mat_fullbright 0 but it stays at 1.

What's the problem?

-I did make a light in my map but still nothing.

[landocalrissian]

Have you got a light_environment entity in your map?

[NoamGM]

I don't think so, only light.

[IronPhoenix]

You need at least one light entity in the map for light to render.

[QUOTE=IronPhoenix;35175043]You need at least one light entity in the map for light to render.[/QUOTE]

I have one.

[IronPhoenix]

Then you might have a leak, post the compile log.

Entity light (490.00 -161.00 24.00) leaked!

So...the map must be surrounded by solid world brushes, not entities, water or displacements.

You also need to be running vrad.

Also, you don't "code" maps.

Thanks for shedding some light on the situation.
