Ok im not to sure about this but on maps such as office, how do they make the lighting apear coming from the model itself. Iv tried it and it is bland coming from only 1 side. Witch entity does lighting from a model. Links to tuts or other things would be nice.

i have been wondering about this as well... one solution putting a texture to make give off light behind a glass texture such as: glass/offlightcover so that you cant see the back texture in full detail. this is not a valid solution, though, as you can clearly see the bulbs in office.

btw, i like your avatar.

I think actually that the glass covering is a light emitting texture...

Dang......well im going to have to fool around with hammer for a few days just trying to get this right. Text lighting was nice in the old I supose it is the same but its in a different format. Well ill have to find someway to emit light from a material......

when i made a prop_detail it gave me this error:
Detail prop model models/props/cs_office/Light_ceiling.mdl is using vertex-lit materials!
It must use unlit materials!
so there's that, for what its worth.

prop_static doesnt give an error, but it doesnt give off any light.

btw, texlights work fine. same format and everything. just put lights.rad in cstrike_sample_content and you're set. the problem is that there are very few light textures as of right now.
