Cubemaps not showing up

#1 · December 27, 2011, 3:14 pm

I have mat_specular set to 1, all the graphics settings on highest, but cubemaps still aren't showing up on my system. What do I do?

Is it using the default cubemap or none at all? Also, is this in all maps or just yours?

Try out Twin Pillars, a Portal 2 map by BOB74j.

None at all. For any maps.

Try verifying the integrity of the game cache. If that doesn't work, I have no idea what's going on. Sorry.

Did you build the cubemaps?

With built cubemaps they don't show up, and with unbuilt cubemaps they don't show up.
Thank you,

Try testing you map by putting it in the dlc folder THEN building cubemaps THEN restarting Portal 2.

I have tried it both in and out of the dlc folder, but it isn't just that I can't build cubemaps, but I can't see them even on the highest settings
Thank you,

You need to find the folder that portal 2 loads first.
Then put the map in that folder.
I build cube maps by making a source mod using portal 2 content.
