Lights and Cubemaps

[Meyer]

After the latest steam update some things have changed in Hammer... I'm having a problem with lights and cubemaps... for some reason when I create an entity and change it to 'light' and run the map... they won't show up... the map is still played in fullbright... also the cubemaps don't seem to have any effect on the textures (I also picked the brushes they should have reflect).

Cubemaps: have you tried 'buildcubemaps' in the console? You have to do that in order for them to work.

I'm not sure about the lights though. Did you run RAD?

You have a leak in you map.
Show us the compile log

I did run RAD yes... The buildcubemaps doesn't seem to work either...

Can anyone help me please?

 

[Osilo]

you're missing your lights.rad file you can find a copy in your half-life2\hl2\ folder put it in with your gameinfo.txt for that config or your bin for your compile tools

 

[Meyer]

Ah thank you very much...
