I'm going to guess and say either corrupted lightmaps or corrupted ground skin.

If when you get close it turns blue then I would say that you didn't turn on mip maps when saving out the edited blue texture assuming that you were editing it in the first place...other that that I have no idea other than what philly said about the corrupted lightmaps

I don't think it's corrupted light maps because it only happens when I add a white texture to the bloodground bitmap but when I switch it back to brown and green it's perfectly fine.

Then did you remember to generate the mip maps?

Had this problem a year ago, it's your ground texture.

i also get this when i skin the walls on sw and beavercreek. like when you are too far away or off to an angle you get these weird black shadows.
