let me say this real slow..

light_enviroments always work if you set them up properly..

if yours doesn't, then guess what? its not the lights fault, slow down quadruple check everything if need be..

let me also say, if any of the other lights work and the environmental doesn't, it can mean only one last thing, you have no sky, or it isn't a real sky..

a skybrush cannot have any other texture on it, it must be 100% skybrush, or the light_env. will fail..

i am 100% sure of this.. go back and recheck your map.. or post a link to it and i will..

Orph, im not saying your wrong...god knows im not, all im saying is that im a noob and im doing something wrong. I have checked over the map numerous times and i cant find my mistake.  This has nothing to do with your info, and im not arguing that the L_E doesnt work b/c its the lights fault.  Like i said before, im a noob and im frustrated because i cant do this for my self.  I would never try to out smart a vertrain.  I dont want you to get the wrong idea here OK?

The end to Orpheus patience.. lol.

The other choice would be to goto Prefab Land and download a prefab and use its sky and light setting, or use it as a learning tool, and make your own..

ORPH, im gonna give your suggestion a try and see what I come up with.. I have never done it that way so it should be fun.. How is your new map coming along?

Thanks man, im going to try it.  And are you asking about my maps, or Orpheus?  My maps are great!...Except for the lighting, but its a nice level and im hoping to have it done by the end of this month...as for my elevator, i have figured that out and that level still needs a lot of work.  And my highway overpass level is coming along nicely...execpt for the lighting....  And my second version of my op4_shotgun level is going to be out soon...IT HAS A LASER!!!! oooooo

I GOT IT!!!! Ok, the problem was with my textures. Orph, you were defenetly right in what you had to say, but it was my fault, all i had was the bottom of my roof of my map covered in the sky texture...then i realized that i didnt have the top of the roof covered in the sky texture, as soon as i did that, it worked!  Thanks for your help guys!

admit it, i pissed you off, and got you to looking harder didn't i

toldya, in my first response it was one of those.. read #1 of the post you marked in red

anyways, glad it worked out for'ya.. many things in mapping are a mystery, lights and lighting are not among them.. if you follow the A,B,C's of it, the end result is light.... no exceptions

now you want a mystery, i can show you a map, right now, that has no leaks at all, it compiled successfully, but i can take you to a wall that has no other side to it, if you step out it, you will fall forever, and ever... no one has ever given me a satisfactory explanation for that one

be good

HAHA!!! are you serious? I never thought i would see the day that Orpheus cant solve a problem .  And yes, you did get me to look harder .  My map is on its way, and doing very well, the originality of it, proboly isnt all that original....but im working on what you guys have taught me and eye candy for the level...The only thing is that i get "Short xx Surfaces" and some of my  map disapears.  I know you wrote a tut on it Orph, and i even saw the answer to it just the other day...but you know i cant seem to locate that paragraph that you wrote on it!  Haha, i have a real problem with overlooking the obvious.  Thanks for all the help guys and i will post the map as soon as im done!
