The ~Official~ Facepunch Map Pimpage/WIP Thread V15 - Developers

It's fullbright. The issue isn't the light_env settings, it's the propper'd models not being lit right. And due to there being so many of them the map looks like a disaster.

Shouldn't compiling with -staticproplighting fix that? edit Ah, info_lighting, i knew it was one of those!!

[QUOTE=Whitby;41018069] Hopefully before this gets buried by everyone elses maps somebody could link me to a decent explanation of how I get props to be lit properly so they're not near-jet black or near-neon white. Would help a lot. [/QUOTE] Try using [url=https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Info_lighting]info_lighting[/url]. It's used to change the lighting origin of a prop, the normal cause of the jet black prop lighting that I've come across is that the origin of the prop is in something it shouldn't be such as a func_detail.

[QUOTE=nicoreda;41023055]Can't see in dark mode.[/QUOTE] get an ips monitor yeah no offence but i can't be arsed to ramp up the brightness on everything

That looks awful.

still pretty dark

[QUOTE=HighdefGE;41023524]Your skybox looks weird and so do the shadows. [editline]13th June 2013[/editline] Don't take it personally.[/QUOTE] I think it was a photoshop, or a color correction.

[QUOTE=HighdefGE;41023524]Your skybox looks weird and so do the shadows. [editline]13th June 2013[/editline] Don't take it personally.[/QUOTE] Clouds are moving, and the lamp in the room's casting that shadow. It just looks terrible when you turn brightness up.

[QUOTE=Giraffen93;41023118]get an ips monitor yeah no offence but i can't be arsed to ramp up the brightness on everything[/QUOTE] Do you know how to make a screenshot with 3d model viewer ? How can you say "I guess my new model doesn't look that bad? " if is on a long range distance ? My opinion: [thumb]http://img99.xooimage.com/files/e/0/6/7g4xxf-3eeb074.jpg[/thumb]

[QUOTE=Giraffen93;41023534]Clouds are moving, and the lamp in the room's casting that shadow. It just looks terrible when you turn brightness up.[/QUOTE] It also looks terrible if it's pitch black. If players have to turn their brightness up because they can't see anything, that's a problem. They shouldn't have to do it in the first place. If I were you and I wanted to pull off a very dark setting, I would make individual lights brighter and increase their fall off distances. Patches of light surrounded by dark can look pretty good.

well obviously, Slendy doesn't have eyes.

there still needs to be more light from those lightbulbs though.

Well guys, how'd I do?

[QUOTE=Magra55;41016452]I'd try using very wide angled light_spots for the ceiling lights, the light bouncing off of the floor and walls will light the ceiling more naturally than direct lights (as we all know). Looks good, though.[/QUOTE] Was not planning to upload a screenshot, but I did change some stuff around and yeah, why did I not go with the spotlight lighting entity before. Thanks for the advice.

[QUOTE=Giraffen93;41023654][t]http://f2.braxupload.se/oac8wg.jpg[/t] that's why there's a flashlight[/QUOTE] It sounds like you can't take criticism. Whether you like it or not, the lighting looks bad. You can say, "lol flashlight" and try to avoid doing work but your lighting sucks. There's ways you can accomplish what you're doing in a way that's more subtle and realistic.

It actually looks like it is late night or early morning. Most maps in this time setting tend to exaggerate too much, but not this one. You should really try making playable maps.

[QUOTE=Itauske Roken;41025606]I DOUBT it's that dark.[/QUOTE] haha oh man, you can't see shit at night, nada. at times of the year no light whatsoever shines down, not even the moon.
