ok, i tried changing about all settings in worldspawn to get a dark light, suncolor to the lowest (ex: 0.1 0.1 0.2), sunlight to 0.1, ambient to 0.1,... nothing made my map dark. it only affect when i put higher settings, i got some nice shadows but i cant get a night/dark map. it drive me nuts any advices ? also, i'd like to understand the gsc file, is it saved when u compile the bsp ? if i change fx of the gsc file in notepad, when i will compile the bsp file, or compile the reflections,... will it stay like i changed it ?

does any other settings than suncolor, sunlight and ambient could get me something like a night map ? i'd like something like a moonlight light, something like that new map "village" has, or like "bog" or something like "snowcrash". but changing the worldspawn settings like the "bog" dont works :( also, i added the fog into my gsc file, but how can i get fog effects like u can have in "bog" and other maps, some animated dusty fog ? is it in the _fx.gsc file that u add these ? where can i find variablei can edit forthat ?

Did you ever try black lights? If you don't use any lights it is 100% pitch black... to make it bog-like use some dark grayish lights.

Maybe you have a leak somewhere in your map that prevents proper lighting and gives you bright light everywhere. I had something like this happen to me a while back. Check that there are no entities in the "void" and that your skybox fully encloses your level (no gaps). I know this may sound stupid and i dunno if this has any effect on lighting at all, but did you texture your skybox with a night sky?

Hmm... that looks awfully like a leak. Just to be sure, you should check your bsp compile log for any errors and their co-ordinates which you can then use in the "go to" function of radiant to find your leaks (if it is a leak that is).

hey, instead of doing that, you could always make a difffernet sky box. go in the map u have now, and push I or U and it will select all ur items, then just save that as a prefab and pt it in ur new skybox. also, u could push "5" and then make sure it "locks" to grid, and make a skybox, itll make it a lot easier than workin with 1's bc i have a hard time to make sky boxes with 1's sometimes...

honestly i doubt i have a leak in my skybox, i checked it again before posting my last post ^ but to be sure i will do it again. u think ican do the opposite ? save a skybox as a prefab, then import it to my map ? i think it would be easier for me, because my map is pretty big well ima go try now and tell the result after

ok, i put a new skybox. and im 100% sure, there is no leak. i put cargoship sky texture on the inside surface, checked my worldspawn settings, edit it again to be sure it will change the color and light intensity. re-compile the bsp, reflection, buildafast file, update the zone file, then test the map ... and i got the same lame light again now im thinking, maybe it has to do with the language. i got the french version of cod4. when i compile the bsp, i got one error: something like "can't find default.cfg" + some errors when i build the fast file (that i posted above) so maybe i did everything right, but its that damn language version that cause all this ?
