Ok I've been saying "texlights" - I think the correct term is "lightmaps".

Basically I've got this bug where I shine a flashlight on a wall and it doesn't smoothly illuminate the wall, instead it just kind of 'stops' at a certain point (as defined by the surrounding geometry?) and then once the light gets over that stop, it illuminates the rest of the brush.

Ex.



Is there a way to solve this without reducing the size of the texture?

Very interesting.

I compiled it in hammer 4.1 with a lightmap scale of 4 and 2 (on respective wall halves) and the "broken light" effect remains. Therefore I think it's a problem in the HL flashlight code and not in the texture stretching itself.

In other words; SOL.
