Ok I can put the lighting in fine in Hammer, and the lighting itself is fine.
BUT.

The npc's and the hands and weapon of the character are constantly shown as if a strong light is being shon at them.

This happens even if the NPCs are spawned in a strong light, or neven no light. As long as there is a single light entity on the map then this problem occours.

It doesnt happen if there are no lights on the map, eg "mat_fullbright 1", but obviously i dont want my map in fullbright.

This never used to happen, and i think there was some way to fix this, but i have forgotten how.

If anyone can help me out with this problem, i will be enternally grateful.

Marcus!
 
I dont think i have any leaks, (are they the black vortexy type of thing, im unsure).

Thx.
 
When you compile, it'll tell you if you've got leaks.

Cube maps are your friend. Read up on them on the valve developer wiki.
