light_environment? help plz :( Created 19 years ago2005-03-29 01:26:25 UTC by Xcite

just dont get it...i have sky in the map but when i play all
is dark and i can't see anything so i try to put the
"light_environment" but evry thing i try that thing didn't work!i push ALT + ENTER and then:
pitch yaw roll - 0 0 0
pitch - 0
brithness - 255 255 128 200

i try to change the pitch to -90 or something but it not change anything

Change the brightness to something like 1000 and see if anything happens.

Or just add a pitch like -35 or somethin....
And in your map properties - check the dealfult light level. If its 0, try changing it to somethin like 20 or 50.. I'm not sure bout the dealf. light level, but it worked once for me...

Yes Daubster is correct, leave the brightness at 200 and set the pitch at -35, or -45, and make the color a light blue if it's the middle of the day, and light red(pink) for morning, and fix the brightness for night, or dusk. Also fix the angle (Round circle compass thingy) to be facing which ever way you want the shadows to be cast.

are you using zoners Half-life compile tools or the ones that came with Hammer. becasue the ones that came with it light the map as all dark sometimes if rad doen't run right.

M_gargantua i use with the hammer...what is the second thing
you talking about? :

***

i use the "Zoners Compile Tools 2.5.3 Custom Build 1.7"

They are far superior and you should immedately switch to them. They are available here.

i need to download from there "ZHLT 3.2.1" ?

ok now it's write:

[Reading texlights from 'C:PROGRA~1VALVEH~1lights.rad']
[59 texlights parsed from 'C:PROGRA~1VALVEH~1lights.rad']

Warning: No vis information, direct lighting only.

what now...?

I'm guessing you've either unchecked VIS or have a leaky map. Check the log, and then post it on el forumos here.

i don'y have leak in my map...
but what is the VIS information?

It's short for visibility, and is data on what is visible from where.

i don't sure i understand but way in the other compile version
no was any problem...

here is the log:

i donwt understand the problem :

Why are you using netvis? You shouldn't be.

i don't understand in this so good...
you can be more specific?
"netvis"...?

you haven't set up your comile tools correctly. go here

http://www.twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=47

read it all if you haven't already

more importantly though, there is a picture near the bottom showing you the 'build programs' dialog. you haven't set those programs to the correct ones. fix that.

Also you set them on fast.

NetVIS is for getting the visibility info onto your map (just like plain ol' VIS) except that it's done on a network. If I were you, I'd just use VIS.

but all set correctly...that not my fist map :

Dude, listen to the pro's.

You have:

Vis Executable:
X:Program FilesValve Hammer Editornetvis.exe

It should be this:
X:Program FilesValve Hammer Editorvis.exe

Btw, why are all of your compile tools places in the Hammer's main directory? It should be:
X:Program FilesValve Hammer Editortoolsvis.exe
by default.

I suggest you get the new ZHLT here: http://www.zhlt.tk/
And use these!
