1. Some Lighting...

Right, let's introduce some lighting. Might not be necessary with your map but we might as well see how. Find a corner somewhere and hit the Sun Symbol in the horizontal toolbar. The lighting Object Page will now be visible. Preset light types are to the left of this, and light properties are to the right. Select the Static Radio button, and double click in the field directly below it. This will open a colour choice table. Choose one you like. To the right, is the light's 'range' value. Double click on this, and change it to 2000 or so.

To insert our light into the world, we right click in the view window and choose Insert Light. You should see a yellow traingle rather than your light at this stage - you need to recompile the map's lighting. Feel free to scatter some more lights about before you recompile. To compile, choose the World menu and Compile Light. Select the Compile Lightmaps High option, and press go. And there you have it. Static lighting, in whatever style you went for. Hopefully your map is more interesting than this one...
