Is there a green light in the room next door ? Or a light emitting texture ? I don't know otherwise never seen anything like that unless it was part of the texture .

What values do you have for worldspawn? If you bevel the walls, it will probably go away.

Im not too sure that its a problem with your map, i experienced that problem on stock maps, updated my graphics drivers and it went away

Does this green stuff only appear when your a certain distance away?

*lol - Think you need to call the ghostbusters :P

I just thought you might have green sunlight leaking in, but you don't
have suncolor set--need a skybox to use that.

Beveling the corners makes the wall texture fit better (inside and
outside), and you can caulk the midered faces. It also helps to keep
light from leaking in, if the sun direction was linded up with the butt joint.

When you make screenshot to post on the forum, please reduce the size by 50%. We don't all have wide screens!

Send your bsp file to a buddy.
If he does not see it, update your video drivers, as Shortricci suggested.
Looks like a problem with radiosity lighting or shadows.
Could be your game video settings too.
