Yesterday i built some stuff, then just testmap it.
i have ca. 90 detail brushes in one big caulkhullbox.
because i had no sky ready for this, i chose to use a light ent with _sun 1 key (pointed at info_null), but this doesnt seem to work. although q3map_2.5.6 lists the sun ent before light compile starts, it doest seem to do anything. Map’s still dark like the back of an male cow in a dark night.
light ent/ info_null look like this:
// entity 2
{
"target" "t1"
"classname" "light"
"origin" "24 -192 208"
"light" "150"
"_sun" "1"
}
// entity 3
{
"classname" "info_null"
"origin" "24 -8 8"
"targetname" "t1"
}
I then built a small testmap with just one single textured face and a caulkhull. Still no lighting.

No diffuse light to calculate, ending radiosity.
i also tried info_notnull/target_position.
any ideas? it might be me, missing some obvious points…
search brought up nothing but a single vague clue bout the problem, sounded like the order you select the lights/targets in in gtk DOES matter (nosense imho :)).
