Error: No Lights!
Description: lighting of map halted (I assume you do not want a pitch black map!)
Howto Fix: Put some lights in the map.

I have 12 light textures on the part of my map I am doing... the marine start

Used 3 different textures...

QUOTE

light_stripblue 0 0 255 200
light_newwhite 255 255 255 175
light_strip3 255 255 255 275

From my lights.rad file

And for some proof

EDIT I DO NOT WANT CRITISM! So keep it to yourselfs... if this is too hard for you to do, keep your comments to yourself - I am saying this because I've asked for help with a problem then I got texture alignment and critism WHICH I DO NOT NEED!

Are you sure your compiler reads the rad file?

Tonee

$path\$file -high -lights "F:\Documents and Settings\Anth\Desktop\Hammer\ZHLT\lights.rad" -notexscale -sparse -texchop 16 -extra -chop 32 -bounce 4 -coring 0.2 -smooth 89

Those are my game parameters

I think you need to add a little bit more detail in that room, otherwise, it's looking good!

Wangler, you will need to have at least one entity light in your map for it to compile...

With my game parameters my map compiles are is pitch black

I have my lights.rad file where my compile files are and in the nsp directory... sound so much like a nub - but I aint

these aint happened before though

Try multiplying the numbers by 10 - you usually have to use higher values for the rad file.

edit:
The intensity numbers, that is.

Didn't work... values are in the thousands too

That is not true!! I've made quite a lot of maps without any single light entity. Only textured lightning.

This is indeed true, I have done it too.

It sounds like you just messed up your lights.rad, so it isn't reading it.

Wait, your game parameters? All these look like RAD parameters...

What I'm saying is that these parameters should be for HLRAD, not for HL itself.

Tonee

May 7 2004, 04:32 PM

what do people use for the game parameters...

I use "Normal mode" in Hammer

Batch Compiler seems to crash at hlbsp file all the time...

Depends. If you're using WON it should be "hl.exe -game ns(p) -dev -console +map mymap", not sure about Steam.

Please post your entire compile log. This will allow us to see if you're correctly referencing the lights.rad file. If you are, you should also see this mentioned in the hlrad process (processing xxx light values from lights.rad or something).

Hmm, HLRAD aint even showing up... is this due to the "crashing" of hlbsp???

May 7 2004, 05:34 PM

Uh, you haven't run HLBSP or HLRAD. Also, there is no need to wadinclude ns.wad, ns2.wad, eclipse.wad etc. Everyone's got those already.
