Light_environment failure!! black sunshine from the skybox

Page 1 of 2Next

okay, so previously I had no problem getting adequate light in an outdoors map, but that luck died out and now I have pitch black darkness cascading over the landmass with small portions of actually lit grass and trees.

Im gonna take a guess and say I broke the map or that I inputted some incorrect parameters. You tell me, cause IDK.

and FYI, the map and screenshot is available here. Part 2 is where the issue is and it is not complete. post103221.html#p103221

Just when I think I understand the system, it changes on me.

Did you added any light (except environment) to that place?

there was another light entity in the skybox, that's all

Add a light somewhere with Brightness 1; Constant 20;

I already have one and for some reason it has a strange effect. All models are semi-illuminated but nearly all brushes come out black

im beginning to think this isn't a lighting problem

Please check if you're using a vertex texture,

nature/blend_grass_grass_02

Hmm, try to recreate a part of the map, and if that also doesnt help, send me the recreated vmf (not the original map) and i can check what is wrong,

Do you have a skybox? If yes, is there any object in the skybox where the skycam is, so it would cast a shadow through the skybox into the real map?
