I'm not sure what's going on there, Pun, but nice detailing!

its not even red team red, its more pinkish red. it is kinda odd, but little google imaging tells me it is indeed normal.

some people seem to think that tf2 players are completely retarded to the point where they cant tell where they are unless every wall around them is in a team color telling "you're on red side. see? red! more red here. and big letters especially for you R-E-D. see this wall? red. that one is red too. still not sure where you are? look, the floor is red also. even some ceilings are red. oh you still think there is a chance you are on blu side? look, even fucking signs are fucking red you blind fuck!"

in rewinds map, map areas are different enough to be easily identified.

Personally, I think so much red looks ugly, moreso than confusing. Welcome to mars, hope you like boring.

Is that one of those CTF-A/D hybrid maps? That's the only reason I can think of for the desks.

info_lighting you dope

It's customary to edit your post when you've been ninja'd, especially with the correct answer when you provided an incorrect answer with an insult.

Except yyler is equally right...

 

[YM]

Except yyler is equally right...

What, no.

Info_lighting is for props that use only one point for their lighting, dynamic props and props with normal maps.

Since those rocks are neither of those two things, info_lighting is the wrong solution. There is no grey area, info_lighting is just wrong.

The only ambiguity is in the cause of the problem: The map hasn't been compiled with proper lighting passes either because prestige doesn't know how to do that, or simply accepted that it's not worth compiling with proper lighting until detail passes have been made.

Resonably sure both of these are the case. Furthermore, it is often faster to use info_lighting that i9t is to wait for a final compile on an unoptimized alpha build.

BUT WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT LIGTHING ON AN ALPHA???

because players will inevitably whine about bad lighting instead of actual things that matter.

that rock is really dark, prestige

If yyler had said that, nothing more would have needed to be said. Qualifying the use of an info_lighting as a temporary work around rather than the end-result fix is fine, stating it as the end-result fix though, is incorrect.

BUT WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT LIGTHING ON AN ALPHA???

I don't, I just care when people offer incorrect solutions to issues. I even said one cause was the acceptance that lighting doesn't matter in alpha builds, how did you decide I was concerned with the lighting from that?

there is a third thing - compile without -staticproplighting. which appears to be the case here. oh and a fourth thing - prop having vertexlighting disabled.

Because you used that as an argument as to why I was wrong, and the counterpoint is listed below, which I guess you didn't read.

No it's not. B)

[LeSwordfish]

Also dope is barely an insult from YYler

 

[tyler]

I compile all my alphas with -staticproplighting and -staticproppolys and I have tons of rocks that don't get lit properly, including that one, so who fucking knows. Also dope is not an insult. Dope means cool. "Yo, that's dope, dawg." Get educated.

 

[Prestige]

i did both info_lighting and both those static things

i shall get rid of info_lighting and disabling vertex lighting thnx 4 info ym & doom. unless you were supposed to use those together to solve the problem?

 

[Languid]

you're all terrible terrible people
