[Help] Lots of objects not rendering! [w/ pic]

[Brazooka]

What is going on:

- Map runs/compiles with no errors(at least it seems)
- When I start a server to try the map, most objects do not render, they are all black.
- All the text in the CSS menu disappears, not even the console text is there...
- There are no leaks in the map
- Other custom maps runs great
- Already checked these -

Models are black
This can be caused if you have a 3D skybox in the map, and don't have a light_environment in both the level itself, and the skybox.
This can also be caused if the color keyvalue is 0 0 0 for the entity it is used in.
The third cause is if the nearest worldbrush directly beneath the model is either unlit, or using a non-rendered texture such as tools/sky.

PLZ! Any ideas?!

[Brazooka]

Anybody, plz?

 

[simon]

did you set the light_environment to -90 (straight down)
because of the high walls of rock formation left and right I think the props always in the dark. Hope this helped.

*edit*
Could also be a driver issue? or settings? I dunno, do other maps run normal?

 

[Brazooka]

Yeah other maps run normal, including custom maps...

About the props being in the dark, that's not the case because it is a "no render" black. You can see from the pic that the floor got light.

There is also a car(prop_static) that have no texture like it should, but has light and volume, those other props don't even have volume...

Man, this one is gonna be a mother... to crack!

But thanks anyway simon!

 

[simon]

Could be that the pivot (attachment) is causing it? Cause I thought thats where they calculate the lighting from? Maybe that will help? ;o

 

[Brazooka]

pivot? What pivot?

EDIT: simon, I just tested the map in my dedicated server with some friends and it was perfect to them and to me... Maybe it is something related to me creating the server from the game??? What do you think?

 

[simon]

the only thing I can think off after hearing this is that maybe you got two games set up (I remember people having this problem a long time ago). I'd suggest you double check your setup and dir structure, and make sure hammer is set up correctly with what type of game you are using. Make sure everything matches up and that you use the correct game to view your maps in.

 

[ltezl]

im having the same issues but with tf2, portal and probably any other source game. some things just are rendering like they should.

 

[Unarmed]

For the custom map. Have you built your cubemaps? If not, type buildcubemaps in console ingame.

for official stuff, thats probably a driver issue.
