lighting - black hole

[megazor]

what might cause that shit? note it is absolutely dark, walls can't cast such back shadows. there weren't such black spots before.

walls can't cause such black shadows*

Lightmap issue?
Hidden brush being filtered?

[megazor]

what do u mean by brush being filtered?

[Drofder2004]

In Radiant. Make sure everything is check/ticked and look for any brushes close to it.

[megazor]

no, there are no brushes that might cast such a shadow. btw, there are much more the same black things on my map. and they appeared really suddenly. i just worked with other stuff in the map, far away from those black things.

[megazor]

i forgot to say, i highlighted the brush that has the black spot on it and made it longer downwards. this action made the strange shadow disappear. i did the same thing to other brushes that had such shadows on them but i coudln't get rid of few shadows.

Not sure if you can do lightmaps in CoD1. try Shift+L.

Otherwise just make the brush again.

[megazor]

lol misunderstood, what do u mean by lightmaps?

[Drofder2004]

Lightmaps are what define how light works when it interracts with a surface.

Press SHIFT+ L in CoD4 Radiant. Not sure if it is used in vCoD

[megazor]

nah, that didnt work.
