I have a level where I do NOT want any lights added to it, dynamic, static, sun or otherwise. All I want is the basic flat "ambient" color & brightness of the textures I have applied to my level blocks and models.

Can anyone explain how to do this? No matter what I try, WED keeps throwing a light in there (usually the sun). I basically just want to see what I'm already seeing in the default 3d mode window. And no, "default build" is not giving me what I need here.

Thanks...

In wed change the ambient setting in map properties-- use the same number for each of the three slots-- go higher up to 255 max I think.

I'm just starting, so grain of salt etc.... I've left it at default.

Of course, it goes without saying that a variety of issues affect lighting.

Thank you for the reply!

I actually ended up changing the ambient color to a darker gray, and that seemed to help, as did changing the sun color. As it turns out, I think I'm going to use lighting for my level after all. I placed a bunch of lights in it yesterday, and it looked really good, much better than the "flat" look I originally had in mind. The lighting makes it look much more 3D, so for my "flat" map I think that will make it easier to tell what everything is.

Sure wish I had better options for taking high-rez in-level screenshots though...
