[HELP] Props Not Lighting Correctly

[Khane]

I'm Creating a map and I'm lighting it at the moment then I ran into this problem of some of the prop_statics not lighting correctly. Here is my main example:





If anyone knows how to get these prop_statics to light correctly it would be very helpful, any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I'm not an expert, but as far as I know it's because props are vertex lit rather than by using lightmaps, and when doing a regular compile the lighting is calculated at the origin, rather than for each vertex

I think you can improve this by adding -staticproplighting to the compile line (in export mode)

I'm actually failing to see what's supposedly wrong with them.

Look at the Log in the water and compare it with the ground around it. The prop is lighter than it should be.

What type of compile did you do? Fast? Normal? final? did you add any special compile options?
