ORIGINAL TITLE: black hand ;;; or ;;; my player/weapon model is black

This is a lighting error, the SKY looks lit, but the map, especially the players weapons are dark.

Causes are:

Floor is func_walled or player is clipped way above floor somehow(elevator?)
Bad light enviornment settings (the PITCH should be negative "-" to shine DOWN)
SKY walls on the side of a level are too low on the horizon,
With a spotlight, the "pitch yaw roll" value isn't the same as the "angle" and "pitch"
Other.

Models take their brightness & color value from the brightness & color of the floor below them, so if the floor is dark, far way, or black color, any model above it will be black too. Having them on a bright brush entity doesn't count.
