Ok, this is just an annoying butt problem I have... every now and then brushes just turn invisible in game after I've moved them via Hammer... and I've no clue why... it seems to go away when I re-allign the texture, but sometimes it doesn't... any ideas?

Also, does anyone know how to stop your screenshots from being PURE black...for me, I get MAYBE 1 in 5 screenshots turn out NOT being pure black!

Might be related to bad creation of vis leaves, or bad texture alignment, ever get an error in VHE or the compile tools? (use cagey's).

How high is your gamma ramp? The screenshots don't have the adjustment, so they always turn out darker.

Not sure... all I know is that a lot of parts on standard NS maps where shadows are are actually Shadows (I've seen some ppl's screenshots where they don't even appear... darn gamma ****)
