See the lines, theres is no light hitting it, ambientlight 10 10 10

sun is at the bottom of the map, night texture... how to fix???

Have you tried doing a final light compile? Most of the weird shadows will go away with a -final light compile.

another nub question...

whats a final light compile? I've compiled it all the way...

If you are using MBuilder to compile, you would click on "change" under "Light Options", and put a checkmark next to "-final". It will take longer, but it makes your map look better.

The area above the arches.. are they meshes or is it brushwork?

make one big brush on top of the arches. So make the brushes between the arches a little bitt lower and put one big brush on top of em.

like:

Code: Select all
