The spotlight's on, right?
As for the spot, try increasing the maximum distance.

Also change the texture of the dock. Docks are rarely tile. -Facepunch

And make sure your compile goes well so you're not running the old version. Sounds stupid, but it happened to me a few times so you never know... :smile:

What's the direction of the spot_light, and what's it's brightness?

Make sure the entities do not intersect with the (light blocking) prop_static. Place them a few units underneath the model until they show up.

Do not mess with the standard settings of the spotlight entities. Eventually delete them and place new ones with only basic brightness and color settings changes (light_spots can be quite bright like "250 250 255 1000"). High values (10000+) for "constant" increase the spotlight's distance the best, but only do that if the standard values don't work.

Why snark works.

I ran it on fast cause im jut testing it. I also know I have two other problems
"make_triangles:calc_triangle_representation: Cannot convert"
"WARNING: Cluster portals saw into cluster"

I looked those up on the interlopers compile log thingy ,and it said its ok to keep thoes they dont do any thing really bad.

The Quadratic flag can only be a 1 or a 0. And linear must be the opposite. So if quadratic is 1, linear must be 0 and vice versa.
