I was wondering if there is a way to specify the ambient light level of a map. This would allow me to greatly reduce the number of lights in a level while avoiding 'pure black' areas. The console command R_AMBIENT 80 provides the effect I want, but I can't figure out how to incorporate it into a BSP file.

...there is no way that I know, and I agree this is a major pain...sorry ;( I'm not sure where I've spent more time...slicing up sector and walls in Duke, or placing meriads of light sources in Quake.

Yes, yes, YES! I know...you can change the ambient light level by using the MinLight program. That's why I put it in the files section. But, it is not based on anything in the map, and we are talking about straight editing here.
