-bounce # goes in the extra parm's box when you compile. Higher the # more bounce = brighter shadows.

ohshi, vampire has a hacked version of vrad that calculates shadows from models per polygon, whereas valve's only calculates lightmaps based off the model's collision geometry.

Its already a prop_static..

Im getting crazy, i added a huge part of the map, but it doesnt update..

You got to move it from Steam SDK into your Halflife2\CSS folder.

The SDK is wacky atm

I got it to work, if i reomved "write to disk" protection on the valve folder before each build..

i know sucky english. hehe.

still its fun..

i kinda like this light colour, feels "matrix"ish hehe.. gonna try that bounce thing later.. playin poker with friends right now , thx

Is this right, because i still dont get any shadows.. i just wonder if i made anything wrong ..

[Taylor Swift]

is that all?

[FrieChamp]

is that all?

I agree with Nexus on this one, the map definately needs more crates!!!

[Nazul]

i find hl2 mapping damn hard , it just doesn't feel the same way , or that's just me

[Tisky]

No that aint all, im just tryin to get the -bounce to work proper so the light in the roof gives away shadows

[Rovient]

I'm guessing the prop_static is not projecting shadows because a tick box has not been 'ticked' in it's properties. Right click and try that. If not, we'll keep on thinking.

Make it look like that bathroom scene from the movie 'Saw'
