Hi all, I have been working on my first half life map for the last 5 days and i'm having some problems. Here a bunch of pics of the map and the screens of my failure's...i mean problems. I had to use links instead of adding the pics to my post do to the size, 1064x768 sorry.

1) Water issue: Used Multiple water textures to try and get them to work, Using water_lod, env_cube pointing to the surface and using noclip textures on the sides not showing.

Re: 1) Are you using Normal RAD?

[Dice]

I'm using normal rad, I have one cubemap pointing at the surface of the water. I currently have the cubemap properties set like this. Brushface Pointing at the top of the water texture. Cubemap size:Default
VisGroup: Entities. The water_lod_control STart transition cheap water 1000 end cheap transition water 2000. Honestly, if someone can send me a link to a good cubemap tutorial i'm for a break on editing.

Try not pointing it at a face,
(the water) and instead leave it default and run Bulidcubemaps in game

I took all of your advice guys and had no luck still. bad news: Refrabracating map, good news: refrab doesn't have the same issues. Luckly i can just copy and past my buildings onto the skybox model that i saved. Only neg about it so far its going to be about 5megs just for a scout map. This is a pain in the ass

for the silver cahirs etc - looks cubemap related. For the water, i have seen b4 and aint too sure.

[wiggle987]

in my opinion i think the silver chairs are quite groovy infact

...i riped apart my map piece by piece to see if i could resolve the issue, or at least narrow the problem down. I found it...2 hours later. It was do to mal use of the skybox for my map. Everything is working properly.
