Hey =/

Just got another problem: Everytime i create a new map or room, it doesnt matter whether i place light or not, i always see everything brightly. What i also discovered: If i change mat_fullbright to 0 and load the map its always changing to mat_fullbright 1. Yesterday everything worked fine. Now i just added panels (brushes, prop_dynamics, logic_auto, logic_relay).

Have you checked that your map doesn't have a leak?

Did you remember to compile the RAD and VIS? (set to fast or normal)

Sometimes when you play a map in Portal and don't restart the game it will continually load each map in fullbright.
I doubt this is the problem?

The cvar is mat_fullbright. If it's set to 1 then set it back to 0.

I actually had an leak which i was not able to see, even using the pointfile, there was no leak. So i just created a new box arround this area and now it works.

That is literally the worst way to deal with a leak.

But there was no leak to See at this point. The pointfile just said me that there is a leek in the Wall, but there is no leek.

Look at the X,Y,Z coordinates that VBSP gives you for the leak.

Sometimes when you copy a brush entity that has an origin, its origin doesn't move with it. Using Vis Groups hide everything except brush entities and check individually that your entities' origin isn't outside the map.
