Colored Lights

[hell_mapper]

Hey, i´m a mapping noob . How can you do the colored light, e.g on jm_ladder. Thanks!

[Luke]

Select the light, press k and pick a colour.

Well, it doesn´t work! Is there anything else i have to do? A Texture or something like that? In the 2D The Color has changed, but not in the game. Thanks

If your map has light everywhere and no shadows in game, then you have a leaked skybox, and lights won't work.

Get CoDUOMAKER if you don't have it already, and when its compiling look for an error like ****LEAKED**** if you get that then you either don't have a skybox, or the skybox isn't sealed, it only takes 1 little gap and it won't work properly.

Hope that helps

Well, i´ve got CoDBuilder, that´s actually the same, and ive got no problems with my Skybox. What do you mean with shadows? Can i make a shadow? Or does the Editor it itself? I´m going to register^^!

[Luke]

Shadows from walls ect, and darkness inside buildings where you haven't placed lights. Test the map, go to an enclosed place, like in a building or whatever, but somewhere you haven't put lights, and it should be dark.
Otherwise i still think its the skybox....is your skybox caulked, and did you use mitre joints at the edges?

I've heard codbuilder is crap, so try coduomaker tbh

Well he said the colour changes in radiant, so I assume the light panel must appear when he pressed "k"
