.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

On my map, around some columns I made and then put caps on, your character fades to black as if you were somewhere without light. Anyone know what's goin on? I have ambient light at 40 20 20 giving it a red tint, but other than that, everything's pretty normal. There's a whole row of the columns and walking on one side you're normally lit, but walking on the other turns you black... I'll put screenshots up if they're needed.

add some sun color to your map. you can make it redish too.

I haven't used sun before ... help ?

And a quickie question: How do I add a corona to a light so it looks like it's lit? I had one once, but it would move as the player moved so it was never quite inside the light.

Try static/corona


the shadow.... you don't have a light entity on the other side of the pillars do you ?

Don't change the angle of your corona, just add it to the bulb as is.

The only light near the posts is ambient.

the static/coronas work great, thank you. Is there a way to turn them red? or is there one somewhere else?

look under fx > corona.

Thanks Tltrude, found it and it works great.

This is for the original problem:
I cannot figure out what's wrong. Maybe the water?

What about a screen shot of your map in radiant ? Do you have a light entity just below that light ? Does it target something to make it a spotlight did you set a radius ?

Does your map have a skybox?

Partially, I leave it uncomplete so it compiles faster...
I tried it compiled and got the same result.

I changed water without any result as well. Could the caps on the posts becausing this, I used them again in a lighthouse I added later and the problem occurs up there, I have the same type of caps on the columns on a ladder on the top.

If you set mapbuilder to v-fast-fast, it'll compile fast enough without trying any "tricks".

I couldn't ever get mbuilder to work, so I made my own .bat that compiles my maps...
Working on the screenshot right now. One sec, I'll edit this post and add it.

Edited:

There is a light, orange corona, and street lamp on the Lamp pole. For the caps on all the columns I've been using the Curve>Cap>Cylinder/Dialog. Other than that, I can't think of anything else.

nemesis tutorial page willshow you how, there might be a tut here at map also

the problem might be caused by the "detail" brushes. Wholes in the skybox can cause strange shadows. Also, compiling with -final for light will fix some dark spots. It takes longer.
