08.11.11 20:25:19 i'm going to render debug lightmaps for newtest_map of levels\newtest_map\newtest_map, and i'll stop when red+blue+green = 0.900000.
Hit control-c now if this isn't right.

PROBLEM FIXED!


for anyone else that finds this error and this post, my skybox was wrapped around my bsp,
my bsp was set to (axis) Z 0.0 y 0.0 x 0.0) and my skybox was just set around the bsp as i said. i then changed the skybox to (axis z 0.0 y 0.0 x 0.0) and just moved the bsp up a bit.
also i have no idea if this helped aswell but i changed the bitmap that was put on to test the map in-game.
only thread i found on this error was this... http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=17802
as you can see there was no solution.
