Title: Light Textures.
Post by: Boris_Crack on February 02, 2012, 04:03:37 am

Is there a way to adjust light textures? "light" texture doesn't amit any light at all, "light001" is WAY too bright, and the other textures gets brigher and brighter..(002,003,004,005).

You don't use textures to place lights in Hammer. You use the entities "light" (omnidirectional) and "light_spot" (more realistic, cone-based light) to place lights.

But it's also possible to use texture lights in Source.
All you need is a suitable texture and a small addition in a file called lights.rad

Code: [Select]

texturepath/texturename      250 240 205 100

I don't think we should encourage him to do that, texture lights don't make sense to use and are a remnant leftover from GoldSrc...
