[fixed][HL2] Dynamic shadow problem


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi everyone,

I'm coming to you to try to get some help on a shadow bug I'm experiencing with my INSURGENCY map.

The problem is that dynamic shadows (player's and prop_physics's) are yellow. I tried to fix it, and it worked with a shadow_control entity, but now I'm experiencing this problem :

(it has nothing to do with the low settings)

It seems to be due to shadows on displacements, but it never happened to me before. I don't think it is due to the RAD, since i tried twice.

The shadow_control is used with default settings, and it shouldn't be related to light_environment, since I didn't change anything.

Thank you for advance for replying me.

Are you sure that has nothing to do with low settings (VRAD)?

Because I know that displacements can get that type of errors when compiling on -fast.

Or something in the 3dskybox, when they "overlap" you can get some weird stuff going on aswell.

Actually I made a final HDR compile ;)

For those who wasted their time reading my post, thank you, but I just fixed it. It appears like rad.exe crashed without displaying it :(

And for those interested in the map, I might post the download link very soon ;)

EDIT : damn, i didn't fix anything, but it seems like the shadows are alright WITH hdr and are fucked up without it :(

Have you set specific light env HDR and LDR settings?

In Haditha I set both values rather than use the defaults of your light_environment entity. A good solution to fix allot of these issues is to delete and rebuild certain things, sometimes it can help you find the problem or at least fix it.

If you _REALLY_ can't fix it simple add a static car there :lol:
