Hehe Why would the server need to force the client to set the brightness? That's the job of the Client Engine, to handle all the map info, like the Skybox Brightness etc... All the Server needs to do is pass the position where all the players and objects are and what they are doing as well as maybe validating the mod/game files on start-up etc.
If this is the case, then there is most probably a brightness variable that stores the skybox brightness, used in for the map and maybe its not being flushed as I said before. The only reason all other maps are fine is maybe they are using the default brightness for the Skybox, So you wouldn't notice it. Though I could be wrong, but you never know :) Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of The Fool > Sent: Wed 12 January 2005 17:37 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] CLIENTSIDE Brightnes error > > That's right.
