You need to add light_environment then add light_spot for insides. Check your esf\models directory for model names and terrain making takes time and practise

oh

ok thanks for the light_env........ and i already know how to do that mountain thing, but im stil not use to it, but can you make me that lake?

You don't really ask people to make you parts of your map, you just kinda experiment around until you can do it.
If you're asking how to make water, you just make a brush and tie it to the entity func_water.

UGH

You dont get it! i want a lake like in esf_guru you know those big lake thingies? THAT and yeah im a leet mapper, i just want to see if mine is better or if someone else can do it better than me,,,,,, and yeah im not good with v.m. (vertex minipulation) yet!


and yes im clearly aware of the func_water

 

[Optional]

Read my tutorial in MegaThread Of Mapping. "Valve Hammer Overview". In the 3rd section, it explains how to make terrain without Vertex Manipulation. I also explain the names of the tree models in the Entities section.

I think he means he wants to compare his with someone elses, I don't know though. If it is then he has lots of maps he can compare with!
