<div class="IPBDescription">Weird lighting problem</div> I was using the new FGD included with 2.0 and after compiling I saw that all my doors were not lighted properly, I switched to my old fgd and they were lighted properly again, I'd really like to use the new fgd, so, anyone knows why does this happen? :\

I've attached a example pic below

Thanks in advance <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I tested that, and... no, zhlt_lightflags has nothing to do (I have tried setting it to 0, but it was still doing that)

    Ok, if I redo the brush and do the entity with the new 2.0 fgd it doesn't happen, it just happens when I compile using the new fgd, but the entities were done with the old one...

    Well, it looks like I'll have to redo lots of entities :|

    Is your env_gamma still the same? it looks like its just set to a lower value in the second pic. That or you just moved the door a bit further away form the light source.

    Good point, but the picture is only an example, it may look fine on his map

    The door seems to be blocking the light source (it's casting a shadow on the entire end of the room), so are you sure you haven't changed the lightflags? Also, the lighting seems to be a bit lighter on the 2.0 version.

    I can't see how using a different fgd could change anything, except that the default values might be different.

    I think you should uh.. run some detailed tests, but I recon this needs attention from the developers. Sub standard lighting technicalities aren't acceptable.

    Wow, I've heard a lot about lighting and the light flags but I have no idea how the whole level can look the same except for brush entities <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Do FGD files set compile tool options? Guess no, and even if there is neither a compile tools option nor a light flag that would effect the reflectiveness of only this door. Where is this Cagey guy? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
    At least the light calculation seems to be affected... or ... wait. If you use the console command 'gamma' in-game I think exactly that would happen, but maybe only on models not on all entities. hmm... very confusing.

    I already fixed this, let this thread die, please. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It's better if you post what the solution was.
