Large map lighting

hitlists · 05-06-2012, 06:06 AM

Im trying to build a large map for Garrysmod but when I add lighting to it it stays fullbright. When I change my map back to the way it was. The lighting worked, I dont know why its doing that, but can anyone help?

You need to put light_environment entity to your map.

Your problem may vary, could you post a compile log?

Have you tried restarting the game? When you load a map and it comes up fullbright, the whole game is stuck in fullbright mode until you manually tell it to stop, or restart the game.

The light_environment needs somewhere to shine from. Take the ceiling of your map and give it the tools skybox texture. Your light_environment will then make light shine as though it's coming from the sky.
