I'm getting no lighting on models in 3d view. At first I thought it had something to do with entities, that I didn't have the right light entities in the map, but I doubt thats the case. I'm not sure, but could it be releated to what kind of graphics card I have (geforce 2 mx)?

Cheers

is this in editor? because if it is... there is no dynamic lighting... its supposed to be fullbright. if its in game, its probably due to a leak. in the editor click map>load pointfile. that will show leaks.

I believe the shading on the models requires pixel shaders. Something that is missing on a GeForce 2 (and all GF MX cards) [addsig]

Ok, as I thought then, guess a new graphicscard is needed then.

Thanks.

If someone knows for sure, I would prefer Crono's response be made yellow/blue.

Anyone know for sure?
