Proper Lighting

[Lethal323]

Start by creating your basic room.

Depending on what type of lighting you want you can do different things...

So we will go over a few different types...

Ambient Lighting

To do some basic ambient lighting just select all the walls of your room.

Give them the following values

Key: ambient
Value: 1

Press Enter

Key: _color
Value: 1.000000 1.000000 0.823529

That's it.

Indoor Advance Lighting

Now this is a little better looking...

Make all your lights so that the inner radius is about 16 units from the ground and ceiling.

Now make a bunch of lights and make sure the inner radius is about 16 units from each light and wall.


Sky Box Outdoor Lighting

Ambient is something people should play with.

1 is a very high number for ambience, I these are the values of the stock maps from CoD1
Mp_Carentan : "ambient" ".2"
Mp_Brecourt : "ambient" ".18"
Mp_Chateau : "ambient" ".12"
Mp_Depot : "ambient" ".16"
Mp_Harbor : "ambient" ".20"
Mp_Hurtgen : "ambient" ".18"
Mp_Pavlov : "ambient" ".18"
Mp_Powcamp : "ambient" ".16"
Mp_Railyard : "ambient" ".10"
Mp_Rocket : "ambient" ".18"
Mp_Rocket : "ambient" ".18"

None of them go above 0.2
