Lighting

Post by Roach »

Hi there,
how comes when i compile with VIS set -fast my map is dark. Ambientlight is set to 17, suncolor to 70etc.
Got no skybox surrounding it due its not finished yet and wonder why i got no weird view looking into 'nowhere"?!

You need a sky for the suncolor light to emit from, so the only light in the map at the mo is your ambientlight

well,u need a skybox not only to light ur map ,but to seal it from the VOID which suurounds it .if ur map somehow leaks to the void is like not doing a vis stage at all (and the light stage becomes alittle crappy)
if that is what u want ,mayb eu should make a skybox with a hole ,but now skybox is wrong (unless its some closed quarters map which doesnt need a sky)
