Most of the time missing textures will do that, Make sure all the textures are with the DIF file. Also if you have an entity added that doesn't have a poly that will get it sometimes. Also I have heard that if the object is to big TGE can't light it. Might be your problem. Try adding it in peices if you can.

Hope that helps.

Ok, i'll need to see your comp spec's (specifically RAM and Video card). Some lower spec machines have a whole series of problems re-lighting the scene (particularly if you use dynamic lighting)

From a Bug Report I submitted to the task manager in July of last year:

Quote:Some .difs will crash the engine upon lighting... this is due to a hardcoded limit with no limit checking... the solution is to increase this limit and provide error checking.

The fix: Increase ShadowVolumeBSP::SVPoly::MaxWinding from 32 to something like 256 in shadowVolumeBSP.h

A better fix: dynamically allocate to the necessary bounds
