Lights suck Created 19 years ago2005-03-04 05:30:55 UTC by odin

Ok, heres the deal, I just got the lights to work with the help of andy, however, now that they work and the map is not blazing bright (even underground) anymore, I am now faced with the task of going around and putting the right kind of lighting as to make the level as cool as I can. BUT, (always a but)....well, let me start by telling you a bit about the origin of the prob. I have this living room in the house on my map, the living room has two ceiling lights, both I want to have switches....however, if I try to compile it....it freaks out man, I mean it freaks out ....CS crashes and wants to tell microsoft all about it.....how can a fix this problem?

We need to see what the compile log says first.

And how would you like that? here in the forum? Enite log? Certain part of said log?

Post the compile log in here.

To my amazment, when I compiled it this time to get the compile log for you...IT WORKED!!! So that question is meaningless as of right now...however, I have 2 other rooms with multi lights with switches.....so chances are, I will be back here to post the compile log when I do those rooms.

Yay, no work for me!

If you have too many named lights vivible by the engine* at the same time, (I think It's like 4 or something) then the compiler will freak out and crash.

*these lights may not be visible by the player, but the engine can still see them.

What if I took...well, lets put it in a example, there is a hallway, the hallway is pretty long....what if I broke the hall way up into like 4 segments, so that the light wouldnt be on one solid surface, would that work?

Nope.
