Huge Graphical Issue with my Map, Need Help

I was working on de_saluzzo, and I compiled it. When I went to test out my compiled map, this happened. I never had any issues previously with my compile. I need help because I have no clue whats causing this, as this is a first time error.

Theres 2 lights, and 1 light_environment.

Just did what you suggested. Didn't fix it, it still looks exactly the same

There aren't any names on any of my light entities.

No leaks either. The map is in it's very early stages so it's surrounded by a hollow skybox block.

You also need this in your $lights_exe : copy and paste this into your $lights_exe in fast mode: -StaticPropLighting -StaticPropSampleScale 0.25 -bounce 2 -noextra -game $gamedir $path\$file

Did as you said and now my vrad keeps crashing. Here's what my compile screen shows after crashing:

usage : vrad [options...] bspfile example: vrad c:\hl2\hl2\maps\test

Common options:

-v (or -verbose): Turn on verbose output (also shows more command -bounce # : Set max number of bounces (default: 100). -fast : Quick and dirty lighting. -fastambient : Per-leaf ambient sampling is lower quality to save compute t ime. -final : High quality processing. equivalent to -extrasky 16. -finitefalloff : use an alternative falloff model that falls off to exactly z ero at the zero_percent_distance. -extrasky n : trace N times as many rays for indirect light and sky ambien t. -low : Run as an idle-priority process. -mpi : Use VMPI to distribute computations. -rederror : Show errors in red.

-vproject <directory> : Override the VPROJECT environment variable. -game <directory> : Same as -vproject.

Other options: -novconfig : Don't bring up graphical UI on vproject errors. -dump : Write debugging .txt files. -dumpnormals : Write normals to debug files. -dumptrace : Write ray-tracing environment to debug files. -threads : Control the number of threads vbsp uses (defaults to the # or processors on your machine). -lights <file> : Load a lights file in addition to lights.rad and the level lights file. -noextra : Disable supersampling. -debugextra : Places debugging data in lightmaps to visualize supersampling. -smooth # : Set the threshold for smoothing groups, in degrees (default 45). -dlightmap : Force direct lighting into different lightmap than radiosity. -stoponexit : Wait for a keypress on exit. -mpi_pw <pw> : Use a password to choose a specific set of VMPI workers. -nodetaillight : Don't light detail props. -centersamples : Move sample centers. -luxeldensity # : Rescale all luxels by the specified amount (default: 1.0). The number specified must be less than 1.0 or it will be ignored. -loghash : Log the sample hash table to samplehash.txt. -onlydetail : Only light detail props and per-leaf lighting. -maxdispsamplesize #: Set max displacement sample size (default: 512). -softsun <n> : Treat the sun as an area light source of size <n> degrees. Produces soft shadows. Recommended values are between 0 and 5. Default is 0. -FullMinidumps : Write large minidumps on crash. -chop : Smallest number of luxel widths for a bounce patch, used on edges -maxchop : Coarsest allowed number of luxel widths for a patch, used in f ace interiors -LargeDispSampleRadius: This can be used if there are splotches of bounced light on terrain. The compile will take longer, but it will gather light across a wider area. -StaticPropLighting : generate baked static prop vertex lighting -StaticPropLightingFinal : generate baked static prop vertex lighting (uses higher/final quality processing) -StaticPropPolys : Perform shadow tests of static props at polygon precision

-OnlyStaticProps : Only perform direct static prop lighting (vrad debug opti on) -StaticPropNormals : when lighting static props, just show their normal vector

-textureshadows : Allows texture alpha channels to block light - rays intersec ting alpha surfaces will sample the texture -noskyboxrecurse : Turn off recursion into 3d skybox (skybox shadows on world)

-nossprops : Globally disable self-shadowing on static propFinished. Pres s a key to close.

Nevermind, I fixed the crashing issue, got it to recompile and the issue is still there. I'm so lost.

Just did a full "final" compile to see if it was just my fast settings; spoiler, it wasn't. Compiling in 'final' just made it worse. Now my whole fucking map is black! Seriously about to give up.

This appears to have worked! Thank you so much. I copy-pasted everything into a different vmf, removed all light entities except for the light enivornment, and it worked! No issues, guess it was just a one time thing??? I hope i don't run into this again lol.
