Lighting and Lights.

[twistedsunshine]

Hi there ive looked through the forum as much as poss and couldnt find a similar section so ive started one.;)

Im creating a map called "Port of Umm Qasr", a night based map that is designed to enable you to use the dark lighting to hide.

Problem is, Didnt look into weather or not you can A: darken your map and B: put lights into the level editor.

Thanks karate was all the help i needed, everything for lighting the streetlight, vehicles and ambient lighting.

Here is a pic JUST of the streetlights, the effect on the ground is not added yet its gunna take me at least a day to play with all the lights.

Have you rendered the lightmaps with the lightmapsamples installed?
The lightmapsamples package has 710MB..

I was also attempting a night map. It takes a lot of tweaking in the light settings, but it should get a good "feel" after only a few minutes of messing around.
