• Lighting Problem
    4 replies, posted
Ok, so here's my issue: After compiling my map with vrad I have found a few lighting errors which I can't explain nor fix. Each involves light 'bleeding in' to shadows where they really shouldn't. Examples: [url]http://puu.sh/4iLNC.jpg[/url] [url]http://puu.sh/4iKs2.jpg[/url] [url]http://puu.sh/4iKrZ.jpg[/url] The two buildings towards the left of the light triangle in the first shot are those whose interiors are shown in the second and third shots. Help would be appreciated.

Help would be appreciated.[/QUOTE] Are the objects (ie, walls) that SHOULD be casting the shadows func_detail or anything else besides world brushes? Also your lightmap scale is quite high
Everything that should cast shadows is worldbrush, if the lightmapscale is causing the problems (which I doubt) it can be fixed... but yeah I don't think that's the problem :\
Are you running VVIS at all? If not, you should try it.
