Lighting help!!!

[ShyGuy]

Okay first off before you flame the crap outta me... I used the search func.

Here is a S/S of the problem i am getting...



that is my map.. but, as you can see in ^ the img, i have a sky and its not luminating anything... i also have lights wich are not luminating either....

any help would be nice... THX

 It would help, if you would post what parameters you added to light entities.

Any errors, when you compiled?

[ShyGuy]

no errors when compiling... and shouldnt the sky luminate no matter what?

[blaa]

 What did you add to light entities

The link you're looking for is: http://digitalpaint.therisenrealm.com/mapping/tutorials/sun-lighting

Bookmark that site if you haven't already, it's very helpful when making maps.

edit: I just re-read it, you might also want to check for leaks. Just because a map finishes compiling doesn't mean there wasn't errors, next time you compile and light your map, make sure to check back through the compiler window for anything like ***LEAKED***, etc...

I guess your light entity value is 50, make it be 150 instead.

You didn't put too many lights, right?

Copy and paste the text in the command prompt.

You should obtain the Arghrad 3.00 Test before lighting.
