hit n while having it selected and make sure that you have key “_color” and value “1 0 0”

It doesn’t works, look:

This is the room with the light (It’s red in radiantr but here is normal :()

This is the radiant screen

Light Properties

What’s the prob?

try compiling your map with one of the ‘Q3map2 (final)’ options…

joop sloop is right. You need to do a ‘lightcompile’ or it doesn’t take effect
Also the first pic looks like your map has a leak (red line indicates that).

What’s a Leak?


(=DaRk=CrAzY-NuTTeR) #7

a leak is when an entity from inside your map can get outside, follow the red line and cut it off

Actually, you don’t need to compile. Just enable OpenGL lighting in Radiant to get a rough idea of the lighting and how it affects things around it.

also, 10000 for the light is overkill, try 1000 at most for that room
