the first step to creating any map is coming up with what kind of space it's sup...
like the atmosphere, where it is, and what it houses?
i want to maybe make it a recently combine infested outpost, where they havent converted everything yet and combine tech covers up the organic world
glad agate
the type of environment
if it's a structure, the purpose it was built for
and what it's been used for since, if different

@glad agate one spotlight that ive put in the map only affects model lighting and not brush lightmap lighting
ionic scarab
could be inside a prop
ionic scarab
or you used the wrong texture on the brushes
how would that happen
glad agate
using a vertexlitgeneric texture
ionic scarab
im using concretefloor00a or something, thats not a vertexlit texture
would i need to look at the compile process to see if anything happened
i looked at it and everything looked okay
glad agate
add another light to the room
so you can determine if it's that one light or the room itself
ionic scarab
ok
