Okay, sounds good. I'm sorry to seem like such a newbie, but what exactly is texture lighting? Is that just getting the texture light and making it an ent?

Texture lights are textures that emit light in-game. If you go into the folder where you got the compile tools you should have a file called lights.rad, you can open up that file with a text-editor like Notepad. The file lists all textures that should emit light. You can add or remove textures in the list to control which textures should emit light.

You don't need it to be an ent, though.
Many mods have an info_texlights entity that lets you specify the lighting for custom textures in a single map.

Try to use texture lights (textures that emit light by themselves)
