You'll need to play with the lightmapping properties a little.

Also, I'm not sure if dynamic lights will look that good. It's most likely a static light.

In your FPSCreator folder there's a file called "Setup.ini"

Open it and you'll find some lightmapping options in there. After that, don't ask me, lol. I don't play with them as much as others around here do.

[EDIT]

Perhaps changing the "lightmapquality" setting a little higher will help, perhaps to around 15 or so.

- Yes.

- No, the higher the quality, the longer it will take to generate lightmaps when Testing or Building.

You have to change you lightmapping to full. I think.

Not quite the same, but it will certainly look better.

BTW, if you change it to full, you can expect the Testing Load and Building time to be increased by a lot, especially if you have a lot of lights in the level.
