Lighting my level

[chebman]

I posted a topic several months back about how to light my level without tons of torches.

I have a few questions to ask about the response to that topic.


Wamplet told me to use a sunlight actor.

I have a question, though. Where are the sunlight actors??

I am using UEd 2.0 and I can't find the sunlight actor anywhere!! How do I find it???


Also how do i delete all of the thousands of litttle torch lights that i put in my level without having to click on each one of them, is there a way to do that???

[chebman]

Oh and also, I just went back to my level and deleted all of the torch lights, but now when I am in Dynamic Light mode, there are all these bright flashing lights that won't go away.

I don't remember what I did for it to be this way.

What might it be and how can i get rid of it??

Rebuild the level.

There is no sunlight actor in Ued 2.0

As for the lights, if rebuilding doesn't help, nake sure you don't have some lights set to 'flicker' or a flicker setting in the L_Effect or L_Type box in the light properties.

Oh Dear. I won't be of much help on UED 2. graemlins/doh.gif

I'm sure there are similarities, but I know there are quite a few things that are different betwen the two. images/icons/blush.gif

You also might have accidentally scaled some lights so that they are too small to see.

Try adding one new regular light, then right-click on it and 'select all lights' Check the property sheet to see if you've selected more than one. (While you've got all the lights selected, you can go into the 'Display' section of the property sheet and reset the DrawScale for all the lights at the same time. Then you'll be able to see them.)

Check the Groups browser, too. If your lights are grouped under a different name, they might not show up until you checkmark the box.

Chebman, get used to using shitloads of light actors.

There really is no other way.
