MyFirstMap lightmap problem

[Tannous]

Hey everyone, how are you doing?
I've made my first map, and it works perfect but there is a problem...
I can see everything in the map, when the lightmap checkbox(in options) is NOT checked, but once I check it, and save options, everything gets dark and I can't see any object. and the most weird thing is that I did put 2 light objects o.o
why is that and how can I see my map with lightmap checked, I mean how can I enable the lightmap in my map so it can be seen when the lightmap checkbox is checked.

any possible solutions

You have to generate the lightmap using worldedit, if you made a map with 3ds max.
Compile the lightmap, if everything's still pitch black, check your omni light's settings.

Step 1: Reconsider life because you are still working on GunZ
Step 2: Decide "it'll be alright, GunZ isn't totally dead"
Step 3: Uninstall Radiant
Step 4: Delete all '.MAP' files
Step 5: Download 3DS Max 2010 x86 Student Edition for free
Step 6: Download GunZ Plugins for MAX
Step 7: Reconsider opinion of whether GunZ is dead or not
Step 8: Decide "Nope, I already came this far, might as well keep going"
Step 9: Look up tutorials on basic mesh manipulation in max
Step 10: Create visual mesh, UV Map, and Texture
Step 11: Place Lights
Step 12: Go into World Edit and generate lightmap
Step 13-16: Fiddle with Lightmap until it works
Step 17: Give up on map and quit gunz development for a few weeks out of frustration
Step 18: Feel rejuvenated and delete old project, repeat steps 1-16, skipping 17-18, moving directly to 19
Step 19: Work on collision mesh that is a closed shape
Step 20: Keep working on collision mesh that is a closed shape
Step 21: Go in-game and fall through the world
Step 22: ... and fall through the world again
Step 23: ... and again
Step 24: ... and again....
Step 25: Ask for help with collision mesh that is being a bitch
Step 26: Look dumb because it was just a simple error
Step 27: Finish map and realize it looks like crap
Step 28: Reconsider life because you are still working on GunZ

ohh perfect. I know your problem now your are using too much brushes that intersect each other I mean your brushes Hitting each other. And that is the problem why your getting BLACK HOLE!
Do some 4x4 brush and don't rotate it using X/Y. If you want to move the brush just do Horizontal and Vertical (UP/Down/Left/Right) 100% your map will be good and you can see your map using Lightmap. But I recommend use Flashlight to check your map first if its perfect? Use Lightmap. :)

Have you lost your mind? .. I'm not even playing gunz LMFAO I'm just doing a favor for a friend of mine in gunz .. who's addicted on it .. that's all ... Lols I didn't even do a map he did but he asked me to post this ... Lols
-.- step num 1 should end all steps I see but thnx for telling how .. and for more info I have a job and hardly sitting in front of the com ... So plzzz .. o.o

and by the way loved the buttom picture xD

Lol tell your friend that don't use brushes more than 4x4. And don't rotate the brushes by doing rotation mode "Hotkey R" if you use that key your map will totally destroyed or 95% get a BLACK HOLE.
BLACK HOLE means even your put some Light on your map or GENERATE it. You only see is black and your character! :)
