DvS Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 I have two cubemaps in this screenshot and they're both the same, I've built them and I'm not using HDR (when I do, I get the same result, except more pronounced). Not using the skyname_hdr thing as that gave me more purple stuff. Tried googling this but kept getting people who had purple checkerboards for textures, not reflections. Oh, and using the tc_hydro sky, not that it matters since I've tried at least 3 others.
Sentura Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 do you mini/maximize the game instead of closing/reopening? usually that happens there, and there wont be anything wrong with the final map as long as people dont mini/maximize.
DvS Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Posted June 11, 2008 Nope, but I don't know if you can tell or not, but the cubemap closer to the player in that screen is fine, there's nothing wrong with the reflections there.

PogoP Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 I think it may be something to do with the skybox. I had that problem and when I changed the skybox, it fixed itself.
DvS Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Posted June 11, 2008 I've found some posts stating that you can get around it by not using a TF2 sky, but that's not really good enough for me. Another post said to do mat_specular 0, build cubemaps and then reload the map, but then I get this error: *** Error unserializing VTF file... is the file empty? Error reading texture header "materials/maps/textest2/c-2080_256_32.vtf" *** Error unserializing VTF file... is the file empty? Error reading texture header "materials/maps/textest2/c-768_256_64.vtf" And the purple reflections come back after I re-enable mat_specular.
DvS Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Posted June 11, 2008 Solved, apparently you have to load another map after building your cubemaps with mat_specular 0, then reload your map...
Zeta Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 i never even bother with mat_specular 0 when building cubes and my results look fine :shrug:
PogoP Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Instead of reloading your map, type, "mat_reloadallmaterials" (or something along those lines).
m8nkey Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 Solved, apparently you have to load another map after building your cubemaps with mat_specular 0, then reload your map... I've always had this issue using EP1 SDK, neither reloading materials nor mat_specular 0 resolved it. I just load a different map after building the cubemaps, no need to change mat_specular. It's pretty annoying though.
