Help with lighting in buildings.

I don't know why but when I put a building from quark in my game the lights work great and and it's dark inside where they aren't. But when I save the mission close it and fire it back up the game just overrides the lights and the dark in the building and has everything light. So is there a way to make the actual mission dark and just use fx lights to iluminate the place?

I have a portal on the door and there are no windows.

I'd check to make sure there are no leaks. Plus, also set the property for the door entity to say "ambientpassthrough=false"

Sorry, but I'm kinda new to quark and the help on my version doesn't work but how do I open the propertys for the object to set "ambientpassthrough=false" ?

Right above the tree-view listing of entities at the left there are several icons. First highlight the portal entity and then click on the second icon above the tree-view to show the entity parameters. You will see a drop-down box with two options: "Does not pass through" or "Passes through"Take your pick :)
