have been a unreal mapper for a long time and have always enjoyed the wonder of the lighting effects it can create,
but when i used hammer and was a bit anoyed at the poor lighting effects, (in comparison of course)
so i need and would appreciate some tips/pointers on creating good lights.....
thanx

Whack RAD up to full detail. It helps a little but the compile times are unbearable. To get some good lighting effects set the light further back into the wall or ceiling to get a sort of silouette effect on the opposing surface.

use textured lighting, never use pint, you can switch tex lighting as well, so it's great tbh.
go to valve hammer editor/tools/valve.rad to see how it works, teh first three numbers are teh R G B color scale. the last one is teh brightness.

the fing that has always anoyed me is that
because hl was so succsesful no one wants to know bout unreal
so i had to map for if any of my maps were gonna get used
(even if i don't like the editor)

Unreal was released several months before Half-life.But Half-Life is based on Quake 2's engine.

Quake1 engine, with about 60 lines of code from Quake2 I believe. And perhaps some modifications by the Valve team.

I'd have to vote for UnrealEd myself, but mostly because it's a newer editor and a bit more polished. I expect the new Hammer editor to have lots more features and might help it rank up there.
and, I think that Quake1 is the final answer. With just a touch of Q2 code, as the good Captain has said.

Cap'p, I'm hoping you know that was an exaggeration.
