Lighting help

[Killer-Instinct]

Hey I have begun my first real map and its for oc. I have been playing this mod for a long time off and on but with the change list of 1.3 I have been excited and started a map. The problem is that my maps walls will not light up. Guns and props, and models will all light up according to the light but my walls are pitch black unless I have my flashlight over them. I'm sure its something simple but I can't figure it out. Heres my compile log:

EDIT: I don't have any light_enviroment entities in my map, is this it? I am using light and light_spot. Even some sprites to make it look nice and it's still not working

[skidz]

What texture are you using on the walls? Not a model texture is it?

[Killer-Instinct]

Floors: concretefloor031a, metalfloor001a, rubberfloor004a, stonefloor006d, and deadland grass.
Walls: concretewall038d, metalfloor008a, metaldoor059a, concretewall043a, and brickwall026f.
Ceiling: concretewall065a, and tarpaperroof002a.

I also used nodraw, invisible, trigger, a model texture for some light coming from a window. (vol_light002), and glasswindow005b.

[Killer-Instinct]

Heres a picture of it before lighting and details:



and after:

[Tono-Tako]

you need light_enviroment

[Killer-Instinct]

I'd be happy to send you the vmf if you think it will help.

[Killer-Instinct]

I just added that and its made no difference.

[skidz]

Very strange, if you PM me the map ill check it out.

[fug4life]

You using Orange box sdk engine?

I'm having huge conflicts with my maps, I'm gonna have one more attempt to fix then Ill be posting here my config for inspection.

I compiled Warmachine in Orange box and all was black apartf rom models.

And archive just gets snapshot overflow

and last night I made for firecube a two room one corridor hintbrush example map (ep2_oc), the most basic and I sent vmf to cube cause I could compile although in game I get pagedpool error. and then cube opens vmf and tells me stuff like info_player_deathmatch is obsolete??

[skidz]

he appears to be using ep1.

[Killer-Instinct]

I'm using ep1 version of the sdk because I couldn't get default perimeters to run. I don't have ep1 though, could that possibly be it? I'm going to go try the original version of sdk right now and see if thats it.

EDIT: Ok sdk won't open without -engine ep1

EDIT 2: Sent map contents to you, skidz, in a pm.

[Killer-Instinct]

Ok I have fixed it, I guess my light_spot was inside my model (I thought that was how it is supposed to be) which stopped it from lighting up my map. I'm sure I will make a wip thread when I get a few more rooms done. But heres some if your interested:

[Hyperjag3]

Looks like a good start, I'm interested to see how it turns out.

[Killer-Instinct]

Thanks.
