: No it has nothing to do with mats, trust me, i would know how to fix it if it were mats.

: : : Sorry if there are two messages, pressed enter. Ok, here it goes. I have had this problem before but not this bad. When I add lights to my level, and 3d preview it, it looks fine. BUT, when i load the level, all of my shadows are not dark color, but are bright colors, like purple and green. I know this is NOT a mat color issues, cause some of the mats look fine where the light is brighter, but it is the lights shadows that are the problem. If u want to see it plz email me and ill send u the level to look at. Thnx for any suggestions.
: : Does this only happen FROM A DISTANCE? Some mats may look fine with a diff cmp, but their mipmaps may not. A mipmap is a smaller, lower res image in the mat used for larger distances. Their a pain. ;)
Whenever its pinkish or screwed up, its cmp... Thats all i can tell you. Only time it ever happened to me, turned out to be the dang mipmaps.
