Lights Won't Compile

Garry's Mod mapping
#1

I’ve had this bug recently, where hammer won’t compile lights, except for light_environment.
My compile logs show no show of errors. I’ve tried re-compiling with and without HDR on and with different light entities and compiling on different engines. Nothing’s changing.
I also checked with the Interloper’s Compile Log Checker.

Help is greatly appreciated.

#2

I don’t see any glaring errors in the compile log, screenshots please?

#3

The light in the back is a prop_static.

[editline]01:34AM[/editline]

C’mon guys, I seriously need some help. If I can’t get it fixed, then my maps are going to be fucked.

#4

Is it inside of a prop? If so, take it out.

#5

yeh light are like spawn point if they’re touching anything they wont work

#6

Disable shadows on the prop_static light.

#7

This sometimes happens to me when I get too many light ‘patches’ for my computer to handle compiling. I just grouped walls and increased lightmaps around the level.

How good is your computer? I’m not sure if this is it because it looks like you are compiling a pretty simple map to me.

#8

The light isn’t inside the prop.
My computer’s pretty good. I haven’t been getting this problem since about 2 weeks ago.

#9

I did not find any error’s with your compile log make sure the light is not inside of the prop and make sure its not facing up words too and if its not in the prop or facing up words try deleting the prop and the light and remake them that is the only thing I can think of right now. hope you get it fixed

#10

Could you show us/me screenies from Hammer?

#11

Try setting the brightness above 500 if you’re using the ep2 engine, it’s weird but I also get this bug.
