Texture lighting Created 20 years ago2003-10-24 19:45:30 UTC by ZombieLoffe

I know there's like textures that emit light and i know entity-based lights. but texturebased wont show up in my map, they're just big dumb textures showing a pic of a light...
tips?

Hehe... Look for the Lights.rad file and put them in your Hammer/tools folder... Inside this file you will find a list of textures that emit light and their values. Ask ASlayer for more info, he told me about those lights.

lol made a search on the drive and it found 1 lights.rad which contained the line +0~WHITE 255 255 255 100 which i guess is the white textures little lighting properties. Where teh fedit is hl's lights file?

ok copied all the lights from valve.rad and some from some other file i found on the net to the lights.rad file and it worked well with the textures i tried with .
Thanx Marlboro

That?s nothing at all. Always a pleasure to help so I hope to see your maps soon!!!!.
And now a HINT!!!. Whenever you make a new texture and you want to make it emit light JUST add it to your lights.rad file and set its values as the textures seen in the file. You can also CHANGE the original textures values to make them emit the light that you want.
Experiment a bit with these values and ask any questions you?ve got.
Regards.

As it says in my tutorial (Texture Lighting), this site...

ok ill try that in my next(first?) map

Alright, i'm not spamming...

Legit question here...

I did all the lights.rad stuff, and my textures all glow. Very nice, I like that; BUT, my entity lights don't work now...

I don't know what I did wrong, but here's what I did - Searched for lights.rad online and came to this site : http://snarfevs.gamedesign.net/lights.htm I just downloaded the file the have and replaced the lights.rad file that was in my tools folder. The only thing I can think of is that new file doesn't have what I need for entity lights, is that the case?

Entity lights aren't affected by using texture lights; they both work together. Let's see your compile log.
