Are you sure the texture are brighter than that?
What type of light entity did you use and what variables. Did the compiler give any errors? It does look a bit like fullbright is on so there might be a leak.

Yep- fullbright. You have leakage... Looks good but remember the more moving objects you have the more laggy your map will be...

if u made a good map with enough spawn points we would test it on a maptest night and let the regs decide what they think. If they like it, we would add it to the map cycle yes if thats what u mean.

This site (http://collective.valve-erc.com) is probably the most useful place to get answers to any mapping question you will ever have ever (RE: Goldsource (Half-Life 1) engine games anyway :))

My completely uneducated (I've never seen that kind of situation before anyway) analysis is that theres a problem with your VIS. Are you using Zoner's Tools?
