An interesting thing about the normal maps...

I'm not sure if anyone noticed this yet, but there are some area in the map that don't have any normal maps until you turn your flashlight on near them. I enabled mat_normalmaps and when I turned on the flashlight normal maps magically appeared. When I turned it off they were gone. Pretty interesting.

I don't know if this is related, but the flashlight eats some decals/textures. If you go to the underpass and shine your flashlight on the dark spot it looks like there's nothing there, but if you shoot your gun you can see paper.

Yeah I noticed that. Near the T spawn there was some writing on the wall that disappeared when the flashlight came on.

edit: nm about the writing, my mind was playing a trick on me. I noticed the papers though.

Woah, I didn't expect such a huge difference. Thanks for pointing that out.

Whats the command to only see the normalmaps without the texture?
