Lighting prob. + custom texturing

[sanguineraven]

Ok so I have a problem. My map is set in evening/night time and so is semi dark. The problem comes when I use my flashlight and some textures/parts of the texture it doesn't light up. Most notably, a lot of things don't light up if I point directly down or slightly in front of me, whereas others do. What is the reason for this?

Also, I have made some custom textures. They work and everything but simple question is, are they compiled into the bsp or do I have to distribute the vtf and vmt files along with the map, and place them in the users materials folder?

Thanks

Use bsp2zip or whatever it is called for this, you can find this topic on one of these forums, else you have to send them seperately I believe.
