like flibo said put a light entity in it.
as far as i can see in your maps isn't any light entity.
and what you mean with after reinstalling hammer everthing is dark, means that you haven't even compiled with the rad function before.
put a light_env in and your map will be lighted!
21/12/2008 21:53i notice your ladders and water are fullbright. I cannot tell you how much i hate it when i see people doing this common mistake and tying those entities to additive. textures with the perfect blue on them such as the ladder brush need to be solid. your water needs to be set to texture with a low opactiy such as 50-100.
another good way to get light in your map would be to add a light_spot pick your brightness, colour and pitch then set it to as sky. seeing as your map has a giant skybrush around it, it'll work good too.
The problem is useful
