Maybe your map has a leak in it, or another error. Look at the log that was made when your map complied. If there <i>is</i> a compile error (such as LEAK LEAK LEAK, Malformed Face Normal, MAX_MAP_PLANES, Entity Outside of World, etc.) there will be an error message in your log file. Usually the error message willbe in the VIS process.

If the problem actually is a lack of lights in your world, this will show up in the RAD or LIGHT section of the compile log, and it will usually say something like "No lights in Level. Fullbright mode turned on. (I assume you do not want a pitch-black map.)"

yes, plz post the output of your compilers here so we can help.

IS it full brightness when you compile? That indicates you have a leak. You have to fix those before lighting works.

Also check in your tools folder in VHE to make sure that lights.rad actually has something in it. If you need one you should be able to scrounge up a copy of the file on the forums.
