Lighting question:

[SuperSunny]

Mine did that before I ever used portals.

Indeed! It does that if you have multiple light sources haha

[Oxygen]

alright, so anything that uses radiosity light in the bsp will need it's own light? because i thought the sky consisted of a single light, not multiple. and i have no other lights in the bsp yet...but it still made 4 lights. i'm not sure how it works, but it seemed to effect the lightmaps when i had portals.

either way, i just want jahrain to get the cake working...

btw, does anyone know the symbols for the materials? like one sided, render only, etc? i don't remember seeing them in the help file.

? - 2 sided transparent
# - one sided transparent
! - render only
% - 2 sided
@ - collision only
$ - fogplane
^ - latter

Thats all I can remember off the top of my head. Check the materials overview page in the help file. They go immediately at the end of the material name. Unlike at the beginning in Halo CE.
