In Hammer, go to the Map Properties and set "Paint in Map?" (or whatever it is) to "Yes".

And you need to render with lights

Not sure what this was doing in off-topic; moved to the help forum.

I'm having the same problem.

Got a few lights set up. Paint in map is enabled and rendering is et at:
BSP: Normal
VIS: Fast
Rad: Fast
HDR: Disabled

Or should HDR be enabled? :O I can't find any other options concerning the gel...

Why not put it on, test, and find out?

Normally I'd do that. Just noted it was a rather dumb post when I posted it, but I don't have access to the tools at this point. Will update the post when I have (probably tonight).

And seeing your response I think that is the problem, hehe.
I hope this has helped danpegg as well (topic starter).

Cheers!

Gel not working here; HDR has no effect; paint in map is enabled, and i'm not painting cheap/dev textures if that matters.

Leaks will stop the gel from working. Check your compile log.

Uhm, no leaks. Even put a whole new cube around the whole level to safe-test that.
Sorry for bumping this old topic, but it's still an annoying issue.

(With leaks the map will not compile at all, btw)
