Is there a lighting tut out there somewhere?? I want to use lighting like Ack did in the tunnels in GLacier flying, you know, so like there will be a lamp post and the light will shine on to the ground. (Not dazzles) I know that you make it in level edit and modify it, but what do i select and stuff?

you set them up in commando -
- look at the field level -- in commando
see all those pointy star things - (their called Lightscape imported objects) (commando - presets - light - Lightscape Imported)
double click on one - you will see settings you can do.
you just change the settings to make them look like what you want.
You can make them do about anything you want - rotate them - etc...
I think there is a tutorial -- but i cant remember where i saw it.
But - since you can look at all the levels in commando - just re-use the settings you see on their lights - and your in like flynn...

Yeah there are tutorials on how to do this, but you explained it pretty well. Most of my basic knowlage came from Dante's Renhelp. I recommend using it because it has loads of tutorials and most of the questions you might need to ask on the forum are answered in it. It's basically a collection of tutorials from people. I would recommend you finding it if you need any futher help because i found it very helpful.

again - spot lights are the same as the street lamps on field - it's just a matter of the settings - look at them...

after placeing your lights around, you can use the default lighting "Lightscape Imported" but make Temps and then setting their colors to what you want them to be. Click on "Lighting" then click on "Compute Vertex solve"
then check the box "check Occulsion" then click "OK"
