    No one's made one for public distribution since every mapper to date has set them up specifically for their map only. If one person uses a texture for accent lighting and another uses it for main lighting then they can't share the same RAD file settings.

    Minor correction. Chromeangel set up a .RAD file for his quick start guide. I haven't dug through it lately so I'd guess it doesn't include the NS2 textures.

    Here's the <a href='http://www.btinternet.com/~chromea999/NS/nslights.rad' target='_blank'>LINK.</a>

    To be honest, make your own. I'm positive i use different and custom textures in my lights.rad than other people do. And i'm sure other people use ones i don't.

    I just adjust mine every time i spot a texture i want lit.

    I looked at his, and the lights i wanted wern't even in it... Some of the generic ones were.... but i ended up changing them anyways. It is really dependant on the mapper/map.

    This is the one I use if it helps. It has a lot of the hl and ns wad lights in it and some of the ns2 lights that I've been using. Of course they are all right. Most mappers make their own. I also use a lot of point lights for my levels.

    point lights are bad.... bad monkey....

    j/k, although point lights add to your entity limit, ya know... I havent even did an entity count on my last may (see sig), its prolly outrageous.... and i used all point lights.

    Wrong, they are included just for the compilers use when calculating the lighting. All unnamed pointlights are then removed. It's only the named pointlights that are turned on and off or have the different flashes that count toward the limit.

    good show,
    you're right, i was thinking of the spotlight without target...

    Texture lights are a bit cooler...

    Not allways, texture lights have their own problems. I often use light entities to illuminate monitors. A bit easier sometimes than making func_illusionarys.

    what does it mean when it says "Warning: Duplication of texlight '+0~LIGHT6A150' in file 'C:\maps\lights.rad'!" which it does for all and so they don't give off light

    guesses:

    1. Its in the lights.rad file twice
    2. you have it in the lights.rad, and you are using the nslights.rad also, and both have it
