lighting problem

So, my lighting is messed up like so.

Reno told me to lower my chop value, so i did. I added $light_exe
-chop 16 to the additional parameters box in the hammer compile thing,
but in my compile log, it says the setting is at 64. How do i fix
this?

Well, what exactly did you change?

As you can notice the shadows are dark as the rest of the room is extremely bright, this means that the map is sealed properly and the lighting is being compiled by the way you specified.

If you used a env_light make sure its brightness isn't high like in the 1,000s (its after the R B G specifications[255 255 255 Here would be brightness]) that will cause a lighting error like you have speficied. If not that, then your map is receiving light from a unwanted region; specify more if that did not help. It may not be the "chop" value... Just check your env_light.

I think you're using a light entity instead of env_light for the light source. Light emits from the light entity instead of from the skybox texture (as in env_light).

Am I correct?
