Lighting problem

[AlexTheAWPer]

Hi guys!

I got this problem in my map on Garry's mod where some props in game are completely black. They turn visible only when I switch the torch on or when I type in the console "mat_fullbright 1"...
The problem is present only in my map, in gm_construct or in other maps the black props are perfectly visible. How can I solve this?

(sorry for sh*t english, I can't explain stuff very well even in my native language :T)

You have a leak. Disable everything except nodraw and sky in visgroups and hit map>load pointfile. Follow the line and close the gaps. Displacements, entities and func_detail do NOT seal your map.

And to make things more organized in future post your compile logs in

I've done what you said, but the line lead me to a ladder prop... There's no gap around...

If there is still a prop you have not done as I said. Disable the visgroups I was talking about...

How do I disable them? (Sorry I'm still a bit noob with Hammer and I only know basic stuff..)

It still points at nowhere...

[KingPommes]

Well it's pointing to the void as it should... The important part is were it's coming from and how it got to the void

Alternatively check if any entities origin points are outside the map (the blue balls when selecting a entity)
