Lighting Question

[dudeman]

I place a light_enviroment but my map is still rather dark, its an outdoor map so im not sure why i woudl place lights. I have my skybox around the map and my light env in the center towards the top, but the map is still prettty dark, am i missing something?

does it point down?
pitch -90 is perpendicular.

No i didnt change that thanks, but now the sides of objects are relativly dark =/ i tried creating another one on the ground that was pitch 0 but that didnt work.

It doesnt matter where you place your light_env , the light itself is treated as coming from your skybox texture.
The entity is used for angles and light/shadow colour and intensity.
If you find your shadows are too dark , change the ambient light and/or colour values in its properties box.
