Put the lights out Created 18 years ago2005-07-16 16:16:14 UTC by Tosse

I have yet another problem with my map, it is light all over the place, and have havn?t made the lights for the map yet... I test played it, but its no fun when its light where its suposed to be dark...

So what do i do ?

Its fullbright because you didn't put any lights in it.
just add one light and make its brightness 0 0 0 0.

Oh... Thnx!

aaaw... didn?t work

then you may have leaks in your map.

Then you have an error in your map. Just to make sure try 1 1 1 1 but it should have worked with 0 0 0 0. Anyway if that doesn't work post the log.

It won't work if you set the brightness to 0. You need to set it just very low; try 0.1.

Alternatively, your map may have a leak and is not being lit anyway. Check the compile log.

whats the point of that guys? Like really. it would be pitch black in there... whats the point of testing a pitch black map? Haha, love the new smilies btw seventh.. niccce!

Thnx, i?l do that

BTW Tosse, thtas one messed up Avatar you got.. haha, nicce!

But will hte change in light show in hammer ? And is it the "light" or the "light_enviorment" i should use ?

thnx for all the tips guys, but it still ain?t workin... Must be yet a nother bugg i guess =/

unbreakable, her something for you http://evilmidget.istheshit.net/

Sounds like a leak then right???

Hell yah it does, but i checked, there is no leaks

Have you checked for problems? :

Post the compile log.

i dont think anybody can have suffered and solved more problems than me (download my first map and you'll see why) with brushes going straight through another and out into the void. making a window look out into 'the void'

y'know, all stuff that resolves in problems.
the most common and most annoying to fix when it doesnt show up in the problems screen (shift + p) is perpendicular faces. god that's annoying.

anyways, long story short, all these i got fixed in 4 simple steps.

1. check compile log and mark down any errors it displays (if the compile only takes a second to complete, you have an error)

2. search TWHL forums for a thread already created about this problem.

3. if you find none, post compile log in a new thread and clearly state what you think the problem is.

4. Listen to teh monkehs

then i have an error, the compile only took a second...

yep, must be a leak. Post the rmf in the map vault, I'll find it.

The map is?t done yet, ive only greated the Tspawn, and then i put it in a box to see how the lights where going to be =)

It can be a melformed face,Unbreakable! Thats why I told him to check for problems!!

Iv have checked for problems, no problems, and i have checked for leaks and nothing comes up, is it possible that its just a bugg in hammer ?

Nope!
