This occurs when playing on my newly created map. A restart is needed to fix.

But can anyone tell me how to properly add a light on SDK? I don't know what I did wrong. I did it correctly like in the video but my custom map turns out to be like the screen shot above.

set mat_fullbright to 0

[_ACID_]

Do that and recompile without leaks before. Which video? Also, are you using the CSGO SDK or Alien Swarm?

CS GO SDK. The video is outdated I notice but I figured it would work the same way. http://sites.google.com/site/renshdtutorials/home/general-hammer/beginner/beginner---part-1

Where do I put the command in? In CS GO? Because it doesn't change anything.

And what do you mean by "recompile without leaks before"?

No but i'll try that. I simply only used light for a small room and everything above this post didn't work. Trying out light environment now.

Light environment doesn't work. I'm going to start over again for good practice.

Did you fill the angle and brightness parameters?

After those, you will know enough to make working lighting with light_environment entity.

Tried all and still failed. Duno what i'm doing wrong...

This is my ♥♥♥♥ty practice map. You can see light further away but as soon as you get close its all dark.

Skybox works. Yet it's pitch black everywhere. Notice the lighted room on the left? If I go there it becomes pitch black. I seriously cannot understand my problem or what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥, I give up haha.

Don't give up!

Upload the vmf somewhere, I'll check it out.

Finally I got it working xD, started fresh. Don't exactly know what I did wrong but I did make the map way bigger than before. Thanks for the help guys. +rep all (if I can)
