Following an apparent SDK update, compiling levels has become problematic for myself and Black, the two main mappers on the project. What essentially happens is that, after compiling using high dynamic range lighting (an effect we're inserting into as many levels as we can), the 'reflective' textures known as cubemaps would fail to render properly on models and weapons, despite working correctly for the rest of the level.

The especially strange thing is how they would appear to work correctly after first compiling the level, only for them to stop working, leading to strange instances where the mappers would upload the map declaring the bug fixed, only for their dismay for it to be reported an open issue again.

Fortunately, processing the cubemaps in a level doesn't have to be done by the origional mapper, and other members of the development team seem to be able to run them with no issues. This workaround was discovered somewhat later than we would have hoped, however the levels are now being final compiled and handed over to other development members to finish off.

We're still testing a few things, but the release really is that one step closer, and we're hoping you're able to wait a little longer so this mod can be as polished as it possibly can be.

For some reason I think rush's been IP banned... I can't imagine why I'd think that.

Did you and Black try mat_realoadall (or whatever it is) while in a game with bugged textures? I've found that often fixes texturing issues.

We followed the exact cubemap procedure on the developer community site to no effect.
