Ok, I am making a hl2 single-player mission. Right now it is just a test room with a few guys in it and some boxes and exploding barrels. This is my problem. When I start my map everything works fine. The lights are perfect. No errors appear on the screen. About 5 to 8 seconds later, all the lights go out. All you can see is your gun which turns a silvery color and looks like solid metal with no detail. Enemies turn gray and the room is pitch black. If I hit the esc button to go to the menu, the game pauses but nothing comes up. No options or anything. I can hit the windows logo key, minimize the screen, maximize it again and everything is back to normal. Does anybody know why this is happening and how to fix it. I think that it might be a problem with the compile. I don't know much about that so I am just going to post it. Also I have no roof on my building and have a working skybox. The lighting is done by an light_environment. I also have a env_cubemap located near my light. This is the compile: Executing...

There is nothing wrong with your compile log but it looks like you have selected to run the game after the compile has finished. If I am correct, then this could be causing your problems. Compile the map first and then load it from the HL2 console.

Thanks, I have tested the map over and over again and what you said seemed to be the problem. I would have never of guessed. Thanks!!!
