You can see we got a light problem. However, I used the cordon tool trying to fix, compiled -> Failed
I deleted the whole map, only the grid is left, no entities, nothing, compiled -> Failed as well, the error was still there.

The game runs the map perfectly and the lighting works good.
There is around 20 to 30 light entities since the map is outside.
I have a selected and deleted whole map in a new window, and even with 0 block error is still there.
Also ant, can send me your lights.rad in your hl2mp folder and send it to me.

Unistall windows, open the window and throw your computer.

Anything required for the game to run inside the hl2mp folder will regenerate when you launch the game. Just move out ur file and start up hl2mp for a fresh version.

re-downloading the gcfs are a waste of time. if you really want to, just move out ur half-life 2 deathmatch folder from ur account folder and start up the game to have that entire directory reformed.

You will still want to post the solution in case someone else runs into this problem, otherwise this post will be spam.

You have to be careful when you set your light.
If you have to much styles on one face, either it means that you have too many lights on 1 area or you have named lights that are too close to each other.
Source can do only 4 styles, keep that in mind.
Another thing to remember, lightmap grids has to be used correctly.
If you set your 3D view into lightmap grid, you will see lots of squares:
This is used to calculate how the shadow is going to be.
A light that aims either a wall or a floor can have his lightmap grid higher because the light expose a lot of light.
Higher values for lightmap grid is worse shadow, lower value means better values but majorly increases the compile time.
So use it correctly.
Try using light_spot instead of light. It's better. Just change outer angle to a bigger (not higher than 70 though) and its constant.
Here you go.

Yep, all pro mappers use "light_spot", not just "light"
