full bright map?

I read that the texture lights dont work, so I tryed to add a
light_spot to my map and alas I still dont have any light in my
map. while its not a big deal right now for I am only testing my
maps, I'd like to fix this problem, any ideas? I have placed
light_env and light_spot in my map and I am 99% sure the VIS and RAD
files are working fine, I'm not getting any errors (I will double
check) in my log either...

thanks =)

EDIT: just built a room with a point light and spot light, compiled, played (in HL2:DM) and it set to fullbright...

Post your log, as there might be things ommitted that people will spot rather than errors with big messages. :smile:

sighs

have you all noticed how many freaking times i have sighed today??

this is a searchable topic.. however, you may need to search in the HL1 topic.

still, however #2, i am not sure, since i thought that leaks were now impossible.

please ignore me, as i am however sleepy.

post your compile log, i am betting its in there.

This isn't some silly error on my part (I hope) I have serched the
site, as well as others, I did find some topics that I thought
would solve my problem. They didn't.

I can build a box, slap a light in there and compile to get...
nothing. I'll give it another try, I've been compiling with
HL2:DM. I'm hoping some one else would of had and solved this
same problem, log is on its way.

Run vrad without -extra.

It just looks like you hammer configured improperly. Rad is saying
you're not giving a file for it to work on. (thus is isn't running and
causing a fullbright map).

So, what does it say under expert compile (if that is the route you're taking)?

No, I think Raeth is right. What vrad is trying to do is tell you what the valid parameters are.

in times past, if you placed a light entity without at least looking at the properties (even if you did not alter them one bit) the entity would fail to produce light.

my advice, build a test map, place a light, go into its properties and chose white, and at least 200 lumen's.. see what occurs.

tis just a guess.

No, I think Raeth is right. What vrad is trying to do is tell you what the valid parameters are.

Right, because there isn't a valid parameter (file) for rad to compile.

Um...at least for the vbsp program you don't need to specify an extension.

in times past, if you placed a light entity without at least
looking at the properties (even if you did not alter them one bit) the
entity would fail to produce light.

my advice, build a test map, place a light, go into its properties and chose white, and at least 200 lumen's.. see what occurs.

tis just a guess.

I think its the RAD extra thing, I'll give that a try becuase I did go
into the properties (of the spot light not the point light I think)
I'll get back in a minute.

EDIT: looks like turning off RAD extra did the trick!
