Basic Lighting

[Slackiller]

If you do not add lights , map will run in full bright mode by default.

If you add lights and it stays the same, you probally have a compile error.

you'll need to show compile log

1st thing is you have the old outdated Qtools
download at least zoner's tools http://www.slackiller.com/hlprograms.htm

then you have the leak leak leak
 which makes it run in full bright mode
fix the leak

There's no error messages, or leaks, and i do use Zoner's tools (after a lot of searching) but the lighting still stays normal in all of my maps. Even though i do have lots of lights and light_environment.

[CoDoHuJa]

Can I have more than one light_environment? It doesn't seem to be working....any way to fix it?

[Slackiller]

whats not working? No light at all? or full bright?
show compile log.
light_environment entity only emits light from brushes totally covered in the sky texture

[CoDoHuJa]

Oh, I thought it was just like a large light entity. Never mind on the question now.
