your map is outdoor or indoor?

not too sure but you probably need to use light juniors to illuminate your players etc.

gona try.

Have you made a brush textured with common/lightgrid and made areas not covered in it?
If so, those places have no lightgrid info and leave the game guessing the player’s lighting info.

lightjunior isn’t working. same bug.
i have no common/lightgrid texture

ambient of 20 is quite bright… i would try lowering that number… almost in half and see what you get. I use an ambient of 8 in my maps… then add lights where more lighting is needed.

sorry guy, this is not working.
i think i will remove all my red areas if i can’t find a solution. thx for helping

use your regular lights that are red for lighting as you were… then add a light junior to the same area to light the player model there.

It is difficult for us to come up with a solution with so little information.
Perhaps editor/game screenshots would might give us an idea that could help you.

Also, game screenshots with “r_lightmap 1” might help.

2 types of bug :
