hello again.okay ive finally manged to reduced r_speeds in my map,but im having another problem with lighting.

Wot im trying to acheive is i want my spawn points to be dark.what i mean is,my allies spawn is in a hut and i want the hut to be very dark.i have an bulb.mdl and ive put a light_spot where the bulb is and an info_null to create a spotlight effect on the floor.this works fine but made my map pitch black everywhere.so i put in a light_enviroment and this fixed the pitch black map but my spawn point was then the same level of lighting as my map.

I put in another light spot(in the hut) hoping this would make it darker but it had no effect.where am i going wrong?is it something to do with the pitch?

Im also trying to create shadows so my bulidings cast a shadow but im failing miserably.ive checked tutorials out but when i try wot they say,nothing works.

Ne help here,would be greatly appreciated.thank you.

sorry cant really help u much, but i asume the hut has a roof an not to many openings, right? cause if not, thats why it's light in there.
Shadows should come naturaly, but if the sun direction is straight down it would'nt be much shadow from the houses.
That's as much help i can give, sorry, hopefully someone with
more skills can give u a better answere.
