Post #1After fixing all my other issues in my map I have ran into yet another.
Npcs, Players, Tools\weapons, and props Don't get lit up and it stays dark unless you shine a flashlight on it. I know that its not a game problem but a problem with my lighting and im still a noob at lighting and other stuff like that so im asking for some help with lighting
thanks.

Is your light being calculated when you compile the map?

I think so dunno let me get my compile log.

Torrenting games isn't good.
-
Its not The Pirate Bay its my friends
initials not the first time it has been mistaken.
But really back on topic please my lighting is screwed up.
-
jumping to conclusions are we
-
Do you have any env_cubemap's in your map?
-
Link steam account then...
-
Who ever said they have Steam?
Just because his name showed up doesn't mean that he has Steam alot of my friends don't have steam or even know what Steam is.
Stay on topic please this lighting is annoying.
-
He meant link your steam account.
As for the problem goes, I have never heard of that problem before. And if you were using a cracked steam/game it could be the reason for all I know.
-
If he doesn't have a steam account, he doesn't have a legal copy of whatever he is building the map in.
-
Are you sure you have enough lights?
-
Since TF2 became F2P Valve have made the Source SDK available with it as well.
Which means he could have gotten TF2 and the SDK then just Pirate HL2, GMod etc.
-
Point, but would the pirated games show on steam?
-
Nope. As above, he would get tf2 for free that would PROBABLY come with SDK, map then test in his pirated GMOD.
-
Yes im sure I have 5 lights
Should I take and put them in corners?
Stop with the "Its a pirated account" stuff its not pirated I bought my games I will link you to MY steam account now.
Now really please just help me.
Here it is- http://steamcommunity.com/id/Peavy
Check it out all valid.
-
Could you post a picture of the map? I get the feeling there isn't enough light in the room but I can't be sure unless I can see a picture.
-
Alrighty next time I get on I will get a pic of it right now im just working on other stuff with it.
Compiling is annoying and I don't feel like sitting through it.
-
Maybe make sure the lights aren't inside something, and that their brightness value is appreciably high and basic stuff like that, some people have been having issues with the source sdk after Valve updated it.
I ran into a similar issue a few days ago, except static and physics props were the only things that had lighting, and that was with the 2009 engine.
-
Yea Valves latest update broke ALOT of things but that's not the point here.
I made sure that the lights are not inside anything so I know thats not it, the brightness and everything is up so im really not for sure whats going on.
-
Well then how do you know that the problem is not update-related?
Anyway, maybe you could test whether or not skybox-based lighting works.
And about compiling, how big is your map, anyway? Does it take that long to compile?
-
Well all of the sudden I can't get past portal flow so never.
One problem after another.
-
After you get past portal flow issue (which is due to improper optimization) you should move the map to a folder without a apostrophe and compile.
-
So that one little character can be messing with my lighting?
-
No. The only time punctuation should not be used is in the map name.
-
Ok so were back at square one withh not much of an answer
Im working on getting a screeny of my map or a .vtf if requested.
-
Just noticed that your lights.rad isn't found, can't remember for the life of me if this is a major error?
Edited:
i think it's just for textured lighting actually...
-
Alright now I got it so when your near the light you can see your tools.
Any settings I should change in the lights?
-
Have you optimized at all?
-
It could be any number of things causing this and it is pretty impossible to guess what is wrong without a picture of the map. However, I will take several random shots in the dark.
1) Are the room's textures custom made?
2) Is the light entity inside a brush or prop?
3) Is the brightness of the light higher than 50?
4) Were there any ingame errors?
5) Is the light entity either a light, light_enviroment or light_spot?
6) Is the light named?
7) Is the 'initially dark' flag ticked?
8) Do you have any cubemaps?
9) Does this error occur on every light or just the one?
-
Also, if there are cubemaps, have you built them?
-
Would you guys like the .vtf to take a look at it?
Or the BSP?
Im not for sure what cubemaps are so I dont think so
-
Firstly, .vmf is a map file and .vtf is a texture file (and irrelevant to the problem). You could upload a bsp if you want but it's not really necessary. Just try and answer as many of the questions I asked as you can and we could work it out without seeing the map. After you upload the vmf, anyone can edit it. If you're paranoid of someone stealing it then don't do that, otherwise, that would be a quick way for us to find the problem.
-
Yea .vmf is what I ment anyways I will upload the Vtf later and let one of you people help me out I will say this I put the light in the corners just so you can find them if you take a look at it.
-
God damnit somebody just pointed out your mistake.
-
VMF's is the format that maps are saved in what am I doing wrong?
I really don't understand what your pointing out I see VMF is bolded so I really don't know because as I said that's what its saved in until you compile.
-
He bolded it because he changed it. You said VTF again, despite me point out that it was wrong.
-
.... stuff like that I never really do notice.
But the fact I did that wrong has nothing to do with my screwy lights so please any help is appreciated.
-
Any you still haven't supplied a vmf, image, or even the answers to rusty c's questions.
-
Ooops
Here lemme get that for ya
