Pre-made Light Settings?
Quote from Narutard 1.5 on October 26, 2013, 2:07 pmCould anyone please set up some pre-made lights for maps for the different themes?
I could probably get some maps going, but the only thing I can't seem to get working properly is the lighting.I will give credit to anyone who can do this...
Or if someone could make a guide for setting up lighting for the various themes (step by step would be nice) that would work too.

There's a few BTS lights, clean-style glass lights as well as old aperture lamps and spotlights. The /labs folder has a bunch of observation room instances with pre-configured lights inside.

But if you want some, just add some light_spots to those (since most of the wall-lights are relatively dark).

Quote from Narutard 1.5 on November 2, 2013, 10:41 pmI'm not sure how to use the instances to make different lighting.
There's a lot of info on the mapping wiki yes, but it doesn't really have many tutorials on how to set up the lighting/instances etc.
It basically just says 'here's the instance name, here's how to use it' :/I would really appreciate it if someone made some video tutorials on the following.
1: How to set up a room with nothing in it aside what is needed for certain kinds of lighting.
2: How to make the lighting for the various themes. (Underground, Wheatly, Clean, Overgown...)I feel like if I can learn that, everything else will be easier to learn.
