IM CREATING A MAP OF A REAL PRISON IM TRYING TO PUT IN SOME AREAS WITH DARK AND COLORED AREAS. I PUT IN THE ENTITIES AS LIGHT THE MAP WAS TOTALLY LIT UP AND THEN I CHANGE ALL THE LIGHTS IN AN AREA TO LIGHT_SPOT WITH THE SAME LEVELS OF LIGHT. SAME THING THE MAP IS TOTALLY LIT UP. HOW CAN I GO AND MAKE THE DARKLY LIT ROOMS WITHOUT DELETING ALL MY LIGHT ENTITIES?? :

also i can run a tfc map im making???????

my system is fine dxdiag says im running directx 9

i only got this problem after playing tfc at some server, the next day my name was changed to acproductions.net???????. thats when my compile problems started

ive recently installed hammer 3.4 and zoners tools. i started to make a map each time i added a few new things i compiled it and ran it with no problems. i tried to run it again without adding anything and it wont compile. ive unistalled everything and reinstalled hammer and the latest zoner tools. brought up the map and tried it again. nothing it takes about an hour before i get a message that i need directx 6 at least to run half-life, i have directx 9 hes a post of the compile process
