someone PLEASE help me! Created 19 years ago2004-12-08 00:51:34 UTC by The Tick

I've been trying to get the lighting to work for so long but nothing seems to help. I have read all the tutorials and tried a ton of different things.

Any map I make and compile comes out in fullbright and all light entities and texture lights are as if they are not even there... even when i try to make them weird colors. I am running RAD, and I'm pretty sure I don't have a leak because there is no error log and the map compiles fine and has no other problems.

I tried going to the lighting tutorial and when I open the rmf file in hammer and compile it I get an error. Someone please help me as I have been trying to fix this for a week with no luck. Here's the error log.

Your compiling paths are messed up. I'm a little short on time but I think it has to do with the change directory and copy file processes at the top.
I'll get back to this when I come home.

Are you sure u have no leak and that ALL files are in the maps folder (Not having all files there can cause it sometimes : )

That tutorial contains errors in the "Placed compiled maps here before running the game" section. Not really what I expected from Valve.

Read the latter part of the Steam tutorial.
