The proper compile syntax

Lightmapped prop_static entities do not always get lit correctly. If this is the case, you will need to do the following:

  1. Turn on expert compiling.
  2. In the "Compile/run commands:" box, click on the $light_exe option.
  3. Add the following to the command parameters before "-game":
    • -final
    • -both
    • -StaticPropPolys
    • -TextureShadows
    • -staticproplighting

Static props will now give off the correct shadows.
