light

It's the good ol' "light_cone_farm.mdl", but now without any and all cord to satisfy any folks in the community suffering from cord allergies!

compilation option - -staticproppolys doesn't work in hammer editor source SDK Base 2013, but works fine in Counter-Strike Source. How to do the same?

I cannot get glowing textures to work at all in tf2. So, all I want to do is make some floating glowing pure white cubes that are very bright, and so I created a lights.rad file for it. But, no matter what I do, the white cube gives off a very faint glow to the surrounding area, and no other...

A large industrial lamp (48hu diameter). Includes 3 models - ceiling hanging variant, spotlight and bracket variant. 2 skins for on and off.

I was starting to make a map, I compiled it, and then even though I had light entities, my map was stuck at full bright, I tried mat_fullbright 0 but nothing worked. I had never got this problem, please help.

I'm making a map while taking influences from other games, and this lighting especially caught my eye: It has some sharp shadow transitions and dark roof/corners lighting. This is the type of lighting I need in some hallways in my map, but the problem is I'm having trouble creating it. I...

Valve Radiosity Simulator 4 threads [Reading texlights from 'lights.rad'] unknown light specifier type - lights [56 texlights parsed from 'lights.rad'] Despite having both a light_environment and light entities in my map, the map will load with fullbright. It was working for a while and...

VRAD keeps prematurely quitting before its job is done, reporting "too many lights 8193 / 8192". When I load up the map, it is always fullbright. I tried twice, once when doing a full compile, and a second time, with VVIS on fast. The second compile log is below. Not sure why it says there are...

Hi TF2maps, I've been working for about 2 to 3 months on a payload map that has multiple hallways leading to big open areas. In order to add some WOW, I've decided to add cured hallways (using this Valve tutorial) on some of them. Using the arch tool was fine, the generated geometry was nice...

This unlucky bottle has lost its owner and has been shot. (this was pre-L&W) As it now just sits under a bright light in a dark room in koth_harvest. Will this bottle ever see its owner before it despawns? The Answer: No. The End.

Hi, I'm new to Hammer and I'm making a TF2 map. I am ok at detailing maps, but I want to know three things on lighting. I highly appreciate it if someone can help me: 1. How do you make these beams come from the lights? Is there an effect tool, or do I use "light_spot"? 2. How do you make...

What is better, light_spot or light_dynamic for a bunker? I have one that#s purple for emergency lights, white for normal. Breaker_room emergeny lights:

Okay, so I'm here with a little problem that (maybe) is something I did wrong because I'm new into mapping to source (usually I mapped a lot in gldsrc), so.. the problem is that when I was working in this map everything in the lights were fine until I build the cubemaps. Then the lights started...

this happened when I selected all the snow brushes and used the paint geometry to add those little mountains (if you can call it that) at the edges of the map as seen in the picture.

Yesterday I ran into a problem regarding the 2dskybox and the lighting in my map. The problem is that when i add a skybox to my map all of my light suddenly doesn't work (everything is black) removing the skybox resolves this issue, but I want my map to have a skybox. Note that I do not have...

i am making a map for a projec i am working on and so far i had no problem with it but somehow when i compiled it today the whole map was black and only the props where ok. i searched the problem but nothing really helped. i tried mat_fullbright 1 too. what should i do?

Just place it on the same spot and with the same rotation where you have your lamp. The number at the end of the model name is how many degrees it spans out. This currently only supports the "light_fluorescent_farm" models. Don't like the brightness? Pop into the .vmt and change it yourself...

how can i make a lamp turn on and off every 1 sec for exable?
