Everything's so dark ;_;

So I've got an outdoorsy area in my map, and when I compile w/ vrad, the hallways and stuff are lit just fine, but everything that's (supposed) to be lit by the light_enviroment in my mini-skybox outside the bases is really dark. My skybox roof isn't all that high up, and I've even tried putting the light_enviroment right where eye-level would be in my map.

What gives?

Yeah, a screen shot would help. You might have large objects that are blocking the skybox from lighting certain areas. It all depends.

Check your env_light pitch angle. you need it pointing downward to illuminate your map. ie, -15, or -70 etc. 0 has it lighting your map from the side exactly, -90 is directly down.

Solved it

Apparently just picking "Down" from the drop menu on top doesn't do anything.

Thanks everyone :3
