Lights lulz!!! Created 7 years ago2017-07-22 20:42:45 UTC by WorstMapper

Are you ready kids? Aye aye WorstMapper!
I can't here you!!!
F--- you WorstMapper! OOOOOOOOOOOH!

Yea it's me and my problems again. Is it possible to giving light entire map? When i placed so much light and light_spot entity sometimes giving errors and tireness. And light_environment not working for me. Any ideas?

You mean like fullbright?

If you want the entire map bright, then don't run HLRAD at all. Go to Expert Mode and disable hlrad.exe.

Also, another method would be using the floor textures as texlights, if you're willing to do it.

Also, you're probably using the wrong angles for light_environment. Place it somewhere in your map (only if you have sky brushes), and then go to the parameter Pitch and type -90.

1: OMG! What did you do my laptop! IT'S BURNING!
2: I didn't understand that one.
3: Worked, but my map is very large and it has very huge space at center. Not high-quality lighted.

@WorstMapper
Sorry for your laptop, then.
I'm not responsible for your laptop, by the way. Ah, it probably burned because it overheated because of fullbright mode.

2)
I meant:
1. Place an info_texlights entity
2. In its properties, disable SmartEdit
3. Press Add and type the name of the floor texture you're using
4. And then give it a value of 255 255 128 400

So, your floors will emit light and the map will be fully lit, if all floor textures in the map emit light.

or use -ambient 1 1 1 parameter for HLRAD

You could always post the map to the vault.

Perhaps there's other errors that's slowing it down and it's not just the lighting

Or make the ceilings and walls func_walls, put a light environment with white color, it should work and gives you neat shadows if you put the right command options in HLRAD.

Or, go to the Map Properties, and increase the Minimum Light Level! >:D
