Buildcubemaps not working?

[Bossanova]

sorry if this was already posted.

with the full sdk installed, i figured my maps would have cubemaps, which it didn't so I went in and did the buildcubemaps, but I'm not seeing any reflective lighting. is this still being worked on?

its working properly now in the full SDK. Make sure your using the env_cubemap and reflective textures to see anything.

not seeing it.

i even compiled the sdk_cubemaps.vmf and then edited the same map without env_cubemaps and i can't tell a difference. I've even tried buildcubemaps to see if made any difference.

i have everything set to high in my video options and reflect to real world. wonderwhats going on.

hmm Dunno mate but it _does_ work, I did it myself earlier and it was fine.

Are you setting up the env_cubemap entity correctly?

ummmm yes :naughty: i even used the sdk_cubemaps.vmf that came witht he HL2 sdk to make sure, and that doesn't even show reflective surfaces. i'm also missing some textures... omg .... reinstall time :flame:

thanks for the response

naa that is also happening to me man it is so odd!

there are 2 textures in the cubemap.vmf that are not showing Arrgh and the they dont seem to want to reflect that well. i dont get wat the map is trying to show it is so odd
