Various problems after porting a map

[Enforcer]

I have just recently ported over a half life map into half life source and have encountered various problems with it. All of my doors are pitch black and do not move, even when i have set their origins to the hinge, is there a new entity I am meant to use for this?

Secondly is there a way to make a brush not cast shadows? I am trying to execute a special lighting effect which requires this.

Thirdly my brush based elevator is also pitch black and refuses to work. Do brush based entities not work so well on source or something?

Thanks in advanced for the help.

doors work same way in source engine
yes, you can simply select "disable shadows" from entity propertiers

For some reason my doors don't work at all.

Anything other than a func_detail appears pitch black, and func_detail doesn't have that property unfortunately.

Why don't you upload your map (*.VMF), so I can check what's wrong

I manage to fix the problem with the doors not opening, but they are still pitch black. Also, several other errors have occured around the map; it will crash in some places and say something about 'exceeds max vertex buffers'.

Also, when applying bumpmaps to several surfaces they gain spontaneous shadows.

Thanks for the help, Barnz

-"materials/detail", and "materials/liquids" from hl:s were missing
-fixed leaks
-fixed three silos (use "arch tool" for tubes next time)
-you used way too many complex brushes BSP engine can't handle. they seem to work, though.
-some minor changes
-door (same goes for other stuff) problem is: fxcolor is set to 0 0 0, should be 255 255 255 (by default)
-some doors had fx amount set to 0 (should be 255 by default)

last bug: lights still don't work, but i guess you can find a way to get them working - uploading in a min

edit: there is your map

Nice, thanks for the help, Barnz.

Now my map fails to compile VRAD due to an inability to process certain bytes. Here is the compile log.

I have tried lowering some unnecessary lightmaps and such, but it does not solve the error. I have no idea why the engine is having a hard time with the lightmaps all of a sudden.
