Lighting messed up!

[mabufo]

Everything in my map is bright... Is this because of my skybox? Even the insides of buildings I have made are lighted... how do I go about fixing this up?

If there is info I'm leaving out - let me know!

Do you have a leak?

Compile log?

Are you running RAD?

Have you placed lights at all?

 

[mabufo]

PLacing lights is what I'm not sure of.. my map is an outdoor enviroment! What do I do for lights then?

Also, what is RAD?

 

[Raeven0]

Use a light_environment entity for light from the sky.

RAD is the process that performs lighting calculations for your map. In Hammer's simple compiler, it's called RAD; in the expert compiler, it's the $light_exe line. If you don't run RAD, the map will be in fullbright.

EDIT: starting a new thread.

also go to console and try typing

mat_fullbright 0

and if everything goes black then you have a leak. if not, maybe a restart of the game might fix things.

Sounds like Fullbright.
