Very bright chrome/reflections on some maps? Fix? pics included

[skooks]

On some maps (mostly 2, rp_pripyat and another) have chrome textured objects, like shelves and telephonepoles. If i spawn cars or other objects the chrom/reflection is extremely bright! Is there any fix to this?

That's wierd. Kinda looks like they've been textured/shadered with white glow maps.

Is this happening with Valve assets, or just with third party mod assets? Is it happening with content from multiple different mod authors, or just from one author?

[skooks]

From what i now this only happens in certain maps. The rest are ok. I think it may be third party, but a lot of these props are from HL2. I hit the command button and it says something about chrome usually. I'll copy and paste it soon.

My usual method is to enter " r_mat specular 0" in the console. It seems to take care of things like this.

I will try this out

It says that r_mat is an unkown command

I was playing on "rp_pripyat_fixed" and it had those weird colors of chrome. I went to the "rp_pripyat" and everything was normal. With the exeption of a BLACK and WHITE checker window outline. Looks like tile instead of a missing texture

[skooks]

So apperently the fixed version of the map isnt so fixed at all. No sense is made, the original map works just fine, there is only one missing texture, and i can tell its just a poster, totally out of sight too.

Here is the non-fixed version pictures.

Crap. Sorry. Omit the "r". I was looking at the wrong line. try just "mat_specular 0"
Also mat_fullbright 0 has been known to help.
Those are the only two I know.

I think I had the problem like when I played Murder, the magnum and knife were bright and the specular command fixed it
