First off, I reckon anyone who wants to should post here with their map and then you can give feedback. That way we'll not have a million threads about the same thing (I BET someone will find a topic for this already, but hey, then I'm a retard >.>). Anywho I've been playing around a little. Finally got a new graphics card so now I can toy around with the editor.
it's been a fair while since I've been making maps so i'm a bit rough around the edges, especially the lighting has annoyed me.
Anywho here's what I got so far.
I need to revisit the way my lighting setup is. Might need an omnipresent light source that is then manipulated by other light sources. Can you have a lightsource thats no illuminating based on it's origin, but instead it's merely omnipresent making an overall light presence which can then be altered by normal lights and spotlights?
And; how do I remove the lights wireframe?

Post there if you just want to show off some of your map.
If you want to make an actual update progress thread, then go ahead and make a new thread, otherwise post there.
For hiding lights, select all your lights, go to the Window > Layers and make a new layer. Selecting the box on the right will add everything that is in your current selection to that layer. Then the little eye will hide or show that layer.
