Way back in cod uo I had same problem with map shadows getting washed out.What i found was that as you reach upper limits of engine the shadows got washed out.The problem then was that i was using a fence texture which for some reason engine just didn't want to draw the shadows right. Are you using alot of camoflage textures?Fencing textures?

i know its not the fence issue because b4 i even added a fence i had the same issue. but all my textures are being drawn. and this issue was there since the first compile. like i said it is a former cod2 map, which i know imported into cod4.

Problem solved.

I'm double checking things before I upload the source back to Voidsource.

In the mean time though I believe the error was Skybox related. There were several things that may have been affecting it but the skybox brushes themselves were housing an error that was not easily identifiable in the .map file (in notepad).

I did the same thing that I would normally do with an infinite brush (that had no brush number in the compile log), which is;

Drag a brush over the map, not including the skybox. Select complete tool and then copy to a new level with a tested skybox.
