Hi.. again

ok this time how do you get the whole map to be lit the same. Without making 10's of lights to go around?

Without any shading. Is it somthign to do with shading if it is i dont knwo how.

Have you added worldspawn values?

nope i dont know what they are :S

Make a lighting leak (put a light somewhere outside your map that touches 'infinity') - that way there will be a lighting leak and the whole map will be lit evenly without shadows.

k thanks but now i cant reach 125fps :S

Thats a rather crude thing to do i think peds. You can use the worldspawn editor to modify the worldspawn settings outside of radiant, you can choose from all the stock map settings, so pick a map with lighting that best suits your needs/skybox.

Ill give that a try to thanks

I know, I know. I expected Drofder to beat you to saying that, but he didn't!

Luke had this topic covered from his first post, which meant I just ignored it. After several more posts, I was wondering why it has taken so many replies... now I know.

Do not cause your map to leak. You will not get real lighting, that's just stupid. You will get "overbright" causing all areas of your map to be lit up by a bright white colour which looks stupid. Not only that but a leaked map can cause countless issues.

Use worldspawn values. These will give your map real lighting from a source (the sun!). If you do not know how to do it, learn, it is essential. Only lame mappers avoid the worldspawn values and go for a cheap work around such as Peds'

says the person who made maniacmansion, the map where almost any jump will kill you if you miss

lol

It worked for peds_puzzle! At the time I didn't actually know why my lighting stopped working, I've since found the cause but it's not really worth changing.

Correct, that is I. Who are you?

I'm the guy who made soviet_stronghold, the player voted #1 cod2 map, not some gay map where you die with every jump

Now now, play nicely!
