Thanks, working fine now.
Ok, here's what i did - I opened PS, made 272x96 picture, chose 0-0-255 color for part that i want to be transparent, saved it, opened in Wally, made transparent texture with "{" in front, made .wad file, selected that .wad file in VHE, made func_wall with render Mode-Texture and FX Amount-255, and then when i compiled map that part which needed to be transparent wasn't, it was just plain blue.
So, where's the problem? Because, I think I did everything right. And with exiting transparent textures it worked fine.

Finally got it fixed. Previusly i used SHLT which wasn't reading from ZHLT's lights.rad, now i changed it back to ZHLT and writed my custom texture lighting in ZHLT's lights.rad and it worked.
Deleted valve.rad file and still don't work. Compile log shows if you use texture lighting? If it does, i can't find where it says that. I tried to use custom and exiting texture lighting on new map, both didn't work.

No errors from compile log. Only lights.rad file in my computer is at Valve Hammer Editor/tools/lights.rad. But in that direction is another .rad file named valve.
Valve Hammer Editor/tools/lights.rad is the right direction?
Still don't work. I tried to use 4000/10000/20000 even 50000 brithness, still nothing. Tried to put "~" front of texture name, still nothing. Tried to delete func_wall entity and just use normal brush, still nothing. Tried to not clip brush, just use square, still nothing. Tried to use exiting texture on lights.rad file on my brush, still nothing. Try to not connect my brush to other brushes, still nothing. Try to use texture only from one side, still nothing. When i tried to make new brush and use exiting texture from lights.rad, it didn't work. Maybe i have tu put some settings in VHE?
Yes, i have looked at that tutorial, but i couldn't find my answer there. But if it need to be "~" front of the texture, how can you explain me those textures what work without "~" (like texture called "yellow")?
Help, please. [BUMP]
Discostu, i've tried already exiting texture without '~', it worked fine. I used de_piranesi lantern texture - 'pi_lantern 255 200 100 1000'.
When i try to make my custom texture lighting it doesn't work, but if i use texture what is already in lights.rad file, it works fine. I wrote like this 'mytexture 2x[tab] 255 200 100 1000'.
I did almost the same as dexter's snarkpit link, just did it all with vertex tool, thanks for help.
A lot of mappers say 'don't carve cylinders'. Then how do i make archway the right way? I made half-cylinder with arch tool, then edited it with vertex manipulation tool, got little bit more wpolys than with carving the archway.
