Shading on guns texture error

[happyhappy]

Hey, when ever im in shaded areas or under tunnels my guns shading hes a green textury type look wherever there is shading on the gun. I have a screenshot but I dont know how to post it. Does anyone know how I can fix it. Im using a Radeon 9800 Pro with fully updated drivers.

as you can see on the gun the texture in the shading is green.

I have a similar problem. When in dark areas, the weapons look grey, with purple and green pixelated areas. I'll get a screen tomorrow and post it.

Yeah that's because of custom maps that are lacking decent Cubemaps. Cubemaps are things that appear in scopes and on weapons that reflect the scenery around them. But some stupid mappers don't place these around their levels, and so you get crappy shader errors.

Ah, thanks.

i get that in official maps too mostly in vents

I also get it in ALL maps I play, just at the time of playing that map which happened to be custom map I thought that it would be good to take a screen of it.

This is one in Dust2, as you can see it is also green.

It's just how the reflections work, I do believe.

Oh yeah I see now. I think that's because the cubemaps use... something like 16x16, or 32x32 because it looks decent enough (for something that isn't that important) without killing your machine (for something that isn't that important).

I guess if you made a map using hammer, and when you placed cubemaps, upped the resolution of them to something like 256x256, then you wouldn't get those. but correct me if I'm wrong
