Scaling Causes Bad Lighting

When I rescale a .dif object in the mission editor, the interior lighting no long shows up properly. This is a couple objects at regular scale:
And this is the same objects at 50% scale
It's a pretty noticable difference. However the scale of the buildings to be more relative to the players needs to be around 50% of the export size.
I'm guessing there isn't any way to fix this in Torque, especially when I'm just doing modding. But I haven't been using QuArK very long, is there a good way to rescale your map in QuArK? I tried just selecting everything and rescaling with the mouse, but that misaligned and scaled everything.

Realm Wars is not really kept up to date with HEAD. It has its own codebase as a community project, and is not updated as often as Torque. I would recommend starting your project from HEAD or 1.2
