[barfo]

did you create you own map? if so, did you add environment light?

 

[barfo]

yea I created my own map I will go and see if the adding enviroment lighting helps

compile using rad?
stupid question, i know, but it happens

 

[barfo]

no I dont think it is the compilling because if say I create a player spawn point and I get next to it (while Im in hammer) the player spawn point it black

 

[barfo]

I thought the problem might have been something else so I went and reinstalled

 

[Limpet]

well in hammer your spawn point is black because your card cant to pixel shading or something like that. I read that in a thread somewhere a while back becuase I have the same problem with all entities i put in hammer.

Ingame, is mat_fullbright set to 1?

 

[barfo]

hmmm so does it still do that or did your fix it?

 

[Limpet]

I don't think I can fix it. Im working on the money to get a new card, and other stuff. I think thats the only fix for me.

What card do you have?
