Problem with a Tutorial.

[The Omega Theory]

http://www.akilling.org/akg/tutorials/wiseHangLamp.asp

I've followed the Tutorial, double checked the settings but the lamp seems to be missing. I'm at a loss about what to do, some help would be much appreciated. I'm also somewhat confused by the whole room being lit up when I only made one light.(God, I hate being so new to Hammer.)

If your map is full bright like that in the game it means you have a leak.
You can search these forums for method to find the leaks.

Hint : Load pointfile.

It's asking me for a pointfile, but there is none, can someone help me? >.<

And a new problem now too... Failed to Load Launcher DLL, the specified module could not be found.

If you want to have lightning in your map you have to put a light of some sort in it, otherwise it will look fullbright.

For the other problem, try running all Source games, close Steam, reopen, recompile. If it doesn't work, don't run the game automatically after the compile, do it manually.

 

[The Omega Theory]

Wait, so that light I made doesn't count as a light? @_@ Ahhh... Hmm.

As for the second problem, I'm gonna try fixing that now.

 

[Ti133700N]

Wait, so that light I made doesn't count as a light? @_@ Ahhh... Hmm.

No, it's a model. It doesn't matter if it look like a light or if it is a dog, Hammer can't recognise if something is a light just by a shape of the model. That's why they've created light entities wich are "invisible" but act like lights (cast light and shadows). If you want to make a swiging light you have to put a dynamic light and parent it to the model. Beware though, dynamic lights are cpu intensive and lag in multiplayer so don't abuse them.
