Noob question.

I can make any outdoor map dark and even most indoor maps but how teh heck do you make the Pillar of auttum levels dark!!! its sooo confusing i do lightmaps and even change the sky with no effect

[Timo]

The lights you place have shaders referenced - open up the shaders and fiddle with the light output settings.

Thankyouuu! wait.. i cant find the shader which one is it?

[Timo]

What's the name of the bitmap you're using?

[Sgt Stacker]

light.bitmap and btw its a BSP in the maw one of the inner POA looking ones

[Timo]

Find where light.bitmap is, go up one directory level and then find the shaders folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\tags\levels\a10\shaders). In there you should find light.<shader name> open that up and have a tutu around. Although you'll have to re-do radiosity everytime you change the tags to see the difference.

i see a bunch of light ones but they arent light.<a type of shader name>
