Hello again.
So the lighting for this map I've been working on has decided to behave as if the entire level is indoors. The issue started when I added the map's 3D skybox, so its possible it might be related to that, but I'm not sure.
If anyone has any useful insight, that'd be great.
Much appreciated in advance.
Even more confusing, the lighting in the 3D skybox seems to be more or less normal from the looks of things. Very strange.

weird. couple things I'd try:
-noskyboxrecurse in VRADactually, where is the light_environment? The main area, or the sky room?

It's off in a separate area of the level. Should it be in the main area?
analog hazel
shouldn't matter as long as it isn't in the sky room (if that even is an issue)

Here they are in relevance to the other side of those tunnels you can see in the second screenshot.

Yea they're not in the skybox.
How do I go about doing the thing you mentioned in VRAD?
Oh yeah, also, idk if this is applicable here, but I have all the skybox textures set up correctly. Just to cross off that as a possibility.

expert mode if you're compiling in Hammer; prepend to the parameters for $light_exe

for compilepal, hit the + on VRAD and find the command

I'm compiling with Hammer. I've heard people talk about compilepal before I think but I've never used it. So I do what now with the parameters for $light_exe?
I know it's to do with this.
I think.
analog hazel
yeah;
$light_exe -game yadda yadda-noskyboxrecurse in this case) before anything else in the box, separating it with a space

Like this?
analog hazel
yeah. no clue if it'd do anything meaningful, though
