pitch black

how would i make my map have 0 lighting? so that all the light would come from my spot lights, etc.

If you have lights (light_dynamic excluded) in the map, no leaks, and are running RAD, every unlit part of the map will be... unlit.

well....
i have dynamic lights

i made a map once and to have a black so like the flash light doesnt work put in lights that have 1 1 1 1 for color/brightness. it might be 1 1 1 255 but i cant remember. try those.

if you only have dynamic lights it will be mat_fullbright when you run it as dynamic lights arnt real lights.

i know u can set matt_fullbright to "0", but u have to do that every time u start the level.
this is a multiplayer CS:S map and i'd like the map to begin w/ 0 lighting

You could do a point_servercommand or maybe add a light with little or no light somewhere.

mat_fullbright is a b****

adding a dim spotlight does the trick
thx for the help!

Otherwise just make a hollw box somewhere outside your map which noone can ever get to and put a light in it. Compile and the rest of your map will be pitch black.
