Lights do not work Created 19 years ago2005-01-26 14:32:53 UTC by Tetsu0

H guys I was just experimenting with the new hammer, and I was making a box-room with a gun and a light in it (and of course, a playerstart entity) When I compile and play the level, its completley dark. I checked every entity, they arent clipping any walls, or anything.
Its a regular yellow light. and I tried light spot and light environment and nothing seems to be working. I just have no light!
Any ideas?
-It's not FAIR * *

Compile log? Not running RAD perhaps?

light_env requires a sky texture on a face to work :/

light_spot works, but you have to make sure you didn't set a maxrange or mess with the linear or quadratic fields.

I am running rad. I know that for a fact.
I placed some combine soldiers in there, and i can see them. They appear rather dark, but i just cant see the gound ,walls, or ceiling.

Wow. Yeah Guys im sorry. But i tried a new map and it worked.
But the entire thing is trivial. I still dont understand why my old map didnt have any light. Oh well. Thanks for the help anyway.

Yeh I find that its a bit craped up in one map but if you move it all to a new map it works fine.

Make sure you use env_cubemaps!
