I'm Creating a map and I'm lighting it at the moment then I ran into this problem of some of the prop_statics not lighting correctly. Here is my main example:

If anyone knows how to get these prop_statics to light correctly it would be very helpful, any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance :)

I'm not an expert, but as far as I know it's because props are vertex lit rather than by using lightmaps, and when doing a regular compile the lighting is calculated at the origin, rather than for each vertex

I think you can improve this by adding -staticproplighting to the compile line (in export mode)

I'm actually failing to see what's supposedly wrong with them.
