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.

try changing the light entity's quadratic property to 0 and recompile. I had a similar error except my shadows were blue and it fixed it. 

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

Any Light Entity that has a name will cause this remove the name from the "light".

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

More than likely you have a leak, see if you do and fix it

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

Try deleting and re adding the lights. Also make sure you are compiling in Full Compile (LDR Only). 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.

try putting it in a different vmf (create a new one and paste it in). Try using valves prebuilt lighting from dust2.

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.
