You need to open the setup.ini file in the root FPSC install directory and change lightmapquality=5 to at least 50 or above. This will get rid of the seams at the edges of your segments.

Also don't put lights too close to walls.

Also, a new lightning engine might have been incorporated here (Dark Lights). And version 1.08 is like, too old. You will find in the setup.ini and option which will enable you to use the previous lightning method. Also, bloom has been turned on to give you that look.

If you are talking about the doors then it may be that you are using bond1's or Nomad Soul's shaders that have unified dynamic lightning. If you are talking about the door that has blocky textures on it, then it may be the shaders. It is quite difficult the get shaders working on static entities (including the doorframe).

If it is something else, then I might have not spotted it.

Lol No not the doors I know whats wrong with them.

Its the flickering light. THe light stops flickering and stops showing. But if I go the bed room to use that trigger zone that busts the light in the bed room the light in the hall ways starts working like it should.

That problem with dynamic lights was what you have seen from time immemorial. Even I can't get it to work when the light is in close proximity of the player. Maybe you will have to edit the dynamic light's script to see if any changes occur.

Im using the light2 script.
I think it maybe bugging because of the trigger zone.
this line maybe doing it :state=1,activated=1:state=2.
When I get time I will make a new flickering light script on a timer without activated. An if it fixes the bug I will post it.
I was also looking at the new shaders an wanted to know does all the textures need to be in the texturebank folder for the shaders to work right? I have most of my textures with the entity,segment the same folder they are.

If I'm correct, one can use up to 6 dynamic lights at one time.
Also, the problem with "dynamic" lights showing/not-showing has
been a problem for sometime now, going back to 2010, and seems to be inherent of the engine. Distance does play into this problem as
do scripts, room size and other factors. Try using only dynamic lights only when necessary. Like for a fireplace I'll use one/two static yellow lights and one red dynamic flickering.
Being creative here is the trick...
best

My games never have bugs. They just develop random features..
