When I turn off lights that are currently effecting entities, the entities are still ... um... "lit".

That is, if I had a yellow light cast onto an entity, then I turn it off, the entity still has yellow light on it!

How do I keep this from happening?

With the latest updates FPSC will skip any previous lightmapping renders created when testing if there are no segment or static entity changes,this was to increase level testing speed.
You should create a new level and place one single segement and run a test,it wont take long,when you reload your previous level and run test it should now create new lightmaps,tedious I know,when you want to make such a small change and someone probably has a better way of doing it,but this works for me.

That's what I do.I made a level with a light and an entity.In between test runs if it is necessary I load up the little lewvel,do a test run and perish (since I added no ground to stand on) and hit ESC and then load back in the level I was working on.
Works like a charm and takes less than a minute.

Please have mercy and use the search function.

Well now, doesn't THAT just put a damper on any custom engine programming?

Not really, because it won't be long before we have the v1.07 source code!
