Arg Ambient Light Help Please

[VIO]

how the hell do you get ambient light everyone says change the thing in the worldspawn entity but there isn't anything about ambient light under worldspawn how do i get it to work:fett:

Here is what you do (I think, I could be wrong):

In the entities window, click on worldspawn, and you should see two boxes at the bottom of the window, one that says 'key' and one that says 'value'. You can change the ambient light by typing 'ambient' in the 'key' box, then typing a number in the 'value' box. Then press enter and you'll see it appear in the box above. I think the number 250 will give you a dusk or sunset kind of brightness, but experiment with different numbers to find what works the best.

ok thanks it worked but i have one more problem how do i get my skys to show up as skies and not the textures?

[mapmaker]

Look in the post called 'Texture Stretching', I wrote a reply there that shows how to make skies.

thank you so much but i have just one more question. how do i make a fading death like in the game when you fall off in sinlge player you don't fall until you hit the bottom of the box you just fade off

Hmm, I'm wondering how to do that also, so I don't know

I asked the same question on another forum.

 

This is what Amphetamine told me to do:

 

"Make a big brush accross your pit, near the top. Give the brush the system/trigger texture. Select the brush and right click on it to bring up the entities menu and select trigger_hurt. Press N to bring up the entity window and use "dmg" for key and "-1" for value (without the quotes)."

 

That should work, it did for me

for the ambient light, make sure you define the _color as well, otherwise it won't work properly.

key : _color

value: 1 1 1

I used 1 1 1 for the _color value...ground was perfect...the sides and skies...well...........black. But I could see... *shrugs* Still....
