Hi, I've been mapping recently and everything is fine until I made a test room for whatever I need to test. Anytime I test it, the guns/body is rainbow-colored. I tried updating/making a grid, but that doesn't help.

Very simple map;
TDM SPAWN
TDM SPAWN ALLIES
TDM SPAWN AXIS
Global Intermission
Reflection Probe
Lights
4 walls/ceiling/floor

Edit. What is a .vision file?

Any ideas? Thank you.

Remember that after you have made the .grid file you need to do another BSP compile. When running the 2nd BSP compile you will see it located the .grid file while during the 1st BSP compile it was missing.

Hoped this helped.

Damn, still rainbow
I'll mess with it and see what's up.. I mean I've built several maps np, but try a test room and radiant takes a whack at me . Thank you for the reply.
Any info on .vision files?

did u compile it with lightning?

Isn't the vision file for the night vision?!

Raindow bug come because you don't have .grid file. You can do it two ways:
1. The best and easiest way. Go to edit your map. Select lightgrid_volume tools and make a big cube. All place where players can go, have to be in cube. Save now. Use compile tools again and test map. Should be work if you did everything right.
By the way, be careful with cube size, with big maps too big lightgrid_volume cube might be a problem.
2. Another way, also called bad way. Use compile tools normally. Before you test map, make .gid file. Select [x] "Models collect dots" and "Make new grid" and then "Start Grid". Now you must do play packman. Eat all dots which you can. When you have eaten, open console and write "/quit". .gid file saves automaticily. Im not sure but I think you need rebuild fast file and update zone file. Now you can test map. Should work fine.


I have also problems with .vision file. I've created vision folder thing in raw folder and made empty mp_mytest.vision file. Can someone tell what we should put in .vision file??
Thx

Vision files define things like the colour tint of the map, here's an example: (default.vision)

r_glow						"0"
r_glowRadius0				"7"
r_glowRadius1				"7"
r_glowBloomCutoff			"0.99"
r_glowBloomDesaturation		"0.65"
r_glowBloomIntensity0		"0.36"
r_glowBloomIntensity1		"0.36"
r_glowSkyBleedIntensity0	"0.29"
r_glowSkyBleedIntensity1	"0.29"<br />
<br />
r_filmEnable				"0"
r_filmContrast				"1"
r_filmBrightness			"0"
r_filmDesaturation			"0.2"
r_filmInvert				"0"
r_filmLightTint				"1 1 1"
r_filmDarkTint				"1 1 1"

I am now experiencing the same error that Tenshii had.
I have compile the BSP and Probes. Made the fast files and updated the zone file. Then i made a grid file using the models collect dots method.

After that i re-compile the BSP and Probes. Make fast files again and ran the update zone files option.

Then i am off to test to see if the rainbow models are gone but no use.

Is there a way so it works 100% every time?


I am also having a problem that i can look through glass in the editor but not ingame. Also the inside rooms dont cast shadows and the light dont work in the houses either.
