so for some reason, i created a small level, compiled and ran it. and it was completely black. It usually has a default lighting all over the level, but not anymore. No, i do not have any "lights" in the level. Next, i tried to create a light using code like this, but nothing happens. I've done this before and it worked fine, but not now. I use C-Script so lite-c won't help me.

COMPLETELY black? Like, is there a chance the level failed to load and that is why you can't see anything?

not sure, because if i open the compiled level without WED, then its nice and bright and all textures are visible, but as soon i run it in WED its COMPLETELY black until i add a WED light.

I tried this but wasnt able to reproduce, strange thing. Did you trie ambient light in "Map Properties"?

Nope, everything is set at default of 0

Look in the "Map properties" and check does you level have sun lights on? And to make shadows a bit brighter, you can make sun ambient a bit brighter too. Good luck.
