Too much light

[_Meitsi_]

Im making indoor map so there should be bit dark. I added spotlight but it wont affect light's coz "everything is full lighted" :dozey: How could i get "total darkness" so i could plant my own lights?

set your RAD lightining to normal or fast in compile options, and you should see what you're looking for. if not, copy and paste your compile log after compiling.

I already have set that to normal. Heres the log:

[RoyalEF]

Valve distributed Hammer with RAD compiling broken because a critical file is missing.

Create a blank text document in e:\ohjelmia\steam\steamapps\rndsquad\sourcesdk\bin\ directory.
Rename it "lights.rad". VRAD will start working.
You can find copies of the lights.rad file about, but you are better off doing MyMapName.RAD files for each individual map.



MyMapName.VMF
MyMapName.RAD

VRAD should run then.

It always does.

in the consol, you can type sv_cheats, then type mat_fullbright 0, to turn of the brightness. ( i think thats how i did it.)
