I had this quite a while ago but can't remember for the life of me how i cured it.

Thanx Ian.

The answer is in the error.
Surface dialog == S button by default.

Hi m8!

Perhaps it wasn't this error i had before. lol

Could you elaborate a bit more on.............

Surface dialog == S button by default.

I've never seen this before and don't understand what i have to do.

Thanx Ian.

Ian m8, try this. With your map in radiant, go to "misc" then "find brush"......enter the number of the brush given in the error, hit [enter] that should take you straight to the brush concerned. (do the first one first then so on.)

Try retexturing that brush, then with the brush surface still selected press "s" to bring up the surface inspector box and click whichever one it is suggesting, you may have to try different ones to get rid of the errors. The selections are CAP, SET, NATURAL, FIT and LMAP look at the brush when you try them, sometimes you can "see" which looks right.

I believe its someting to do with the size of the texture not fitting the brush (or patch / mesh) in such a way its giving the engine grief trying to light it in the game.

cheers doa

You have to made your map then?

Press I then press Shift + L and click CAP. I found that cap or natural is best for light maps.

Press Shift + L again and click smooth

I've compiled and tested it a few times, thanx to Doa i got it sorted now, gonna release some screenshots soon. Only thing missing really to finish it off nicely is soundfx, which isn't likely to happen cos no one has a tut that works.

Ian.
