This is a a discussion topic for the map "he_dusty" by hoodedsniper which can be found here

Map description:

A small he map, i also made this because source needs more HE maps

Map screenshots:

Is that map on fullbright?

No, i just didnt run Rad i usually dont in source maps because i can NOT stand source lighting.

In fact it is fullbright is you don't run rad. And why don't you like source-lightning, isn't it good?

I dont like making indoor maps because the lights make a HUGE ass spot in the map, thats why i dont like it :/

Huh? Learn some lighting. They don't make hugeass spots if you actually set them up correctly. My guess is that you're setting them way too bright.

Did you ever play any other Source maps with lighting? Notice how they don't have "huge ass spots" for lighting?

Experiment a bit. Nobody wants to play on a map that'll make their eyes bleed after 15 minutes of staring at the same exact 100% lit textures all over.

I know im doing something wrong with my lights, i just dont know what, its not that, i make a room, put a light spot there BUT its dark on the celling and wall... :/ thats what i have trouble with, ill fix up he_dusty when my comp gets fixed.

This conversation really needs to be brought somewhere else, but here is a totorial on lighting:

And please don't post any more maps like this, it'll be bound to get bashed by some of the cranky members here.

Hey!!! puts hands on hips
