Hey, im having trouble with my lights. Im doing everything right, when i compile it, everything acts weird. I had this map. I compiled it, no lights, then Nightmare compiled it, lights work.

If anyone knows what wrong, Plz help. thx

in what way do they not work, it could possibly be because you have a leak in your map...

well, it happens with all my maps, no lights compile, yet there is no darkness in my map.

the no darkness is caused by the worldspawn settings I think
did u tick the compile lights option?

Could be either of those things suggested, but more likely a leak. Make sure theres no gaps in your skybox so its completely sealed, and nothing outside of it.

no, i did everything correctly. Im thinking it may be my compiler. im using coduo maker. ive reinstalled it about 5 times, and ive tried about 3 different compilers.

coduo maker is fine, i think most of us use it. Look out for error messages while its compiling.

also make sure non of the radii of your lights are sticking out of the skybox

ok, i'll be on the look out. Could it be that im compiling without a video card and on a dell?

well, dells are the very highest level of shit...but compiling is a process performed fully by the processor, so that wouldn't be an issue

Well, this is a big wtf -_-
could it be something having to do with my Flare or BSP or VIS options?
EDIT:
wait, back to wat Lev!athan was saying, compile light option?

Post by **Soviet** » August 6th, 2007, 3:47 am

these are the options i use for light compile and it always works fine

ahhhhh, i c wat im doing wrong, but i also think another reason it isnt working is because im missing alot of my CoD Files like deflaut.cfg. Thx guys, all i need to do now is re-buy the game, re-install, then have fun wit the lights.

You don't need a .bat if you're using CoDUOMaker.
