    Hi there, I'm Mozart from Deadwood mod team.

    I am experiencing matters on my maps since a few weeks. Some rounds of lights come in my shadow areas :

    I dunno the hell where it comes from. I'd been told that experienced mappers would resolve my matter.

    Thanks and sorry for my bad english, i'm french :roll:

    That is odd I've never seen anything like that before. Have you deleted and remade the light_environment with a different pitch and angle to see if the problem goes away?

    @.Dux : I tried to change every parameter of light env and HDR but i did'nt try to delete it and add it again. Gonna try !

    @.Sentura : yeah i thought about it to "hide" the junctions. If no one solve the matter i'll try to add a big Block Light bloc behind the displacement.

    Thanks :wink:

    I deleted and recreated the light env without changing color parameters and the round lights vanished ! Thanks alot !

    Well in fact the shadow bugs are still there but we almost do not see them anymore.. :roll:

    @.Sentura : We have took it from cs_jungle, we'll add the author in the credits when the map will be finished.

    The solution isn't removing the light_env (it didn't work for me)

    The solution for this problem can be found in this thread:

    -LargeDispSampleRadius This can be used if there are splotches of bounced light on terrain. The compile will take longer, but it will gather light across a wider area.
