My kingdom for some light

Post by Guest »

Ive tried everything

ambientlight 60 60 60
suncolor 70 70 70
sundirection -60 90 0

I even put in a ton of lights.


Nothing. Everything is black. Im using shader textures for the skybox, (The blue labeled textures) norway dawn

Nothing, everything is black. When it compiles, It shows the lights, the ambientlight, etc. No errors. The only thing I wonder about is the lighting shows that there are no surface emitting lights. But, like I said, there are at least 10 lights, and the worldspawn values I mentioned above. So, for a zillion, trillion dollars for someone to get me some light.

I had it, and now its gone. I haven't changed anything to the lights. I am wondering if it has something to do with the fact that A) Everytime MOH starts, it tells me to set the path, B) No LOD terrain textures show up anymore (And the filter is not checked btw). So I am at a complete loss.
Not to mention getting frustrated that when something works, it doesn't the next time I load MOH.

Do you get any errors popping up during the compile process ?

Try and remove all keys and values that you have added in the worldspawn and reenter only "suncolor 70 70 70" (start with that and see what happens).

Also make sure that you have not used "fit to face" for your sky texture, only apply it to the sky brushes and leave it as it is!! (I've seen this misstake before)

And if nothing of the above works then try some other sky textures just to make sure it's not a problem with the norway texture (maybe due to a custom file or something, as said remove all custom files).
